The Nautical Group has become Azimut’s official New Zealand dealer, combining new yacht sales with warranty, servicing and continuing owner support.
Azimut Yachts has appointed The Nautical Group as its official dealer in New Zealand. The agreement gives the Italian builder a dedicated local partner for new yacht sales and the services that follow delivery.
Representation Beyond the Purchase
The dealership will cover warranty, servicing, after-sales assistance and ongoing owner support. It follows The Nautical Group’s sale of two Azimut Grande 27M yachts earlier in the year, comprising a new build and a pre-owned vessel.
Founded in 2019 by Jessie Moller and James Dalzell, the company combines experience in yacht interiors, project management and yacht operations.
A Local Link to Italy
The business will operate from a new showroom in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga. It will work with customers and Azimut’s Italian team throughout the purchase, customisation and construction process.
The appointment strengthens the connection between a European builder and owners purchasing and operating yachts in New Zealand.
