Cantieri di Pisa is pleased to announce the appointment of Atalanta Marine as exclusive representative for Greece and Cyprus, marking a significant step in the shipyard's strategy to enhance its international presence and consolidate its positioning in a region of historical importance.
Founded in 1976, Atalanta Marine is one of the most established companies in the Greek yachting industry. The company is renowned for its extensive commercial network and its comprehensive range of services, which include brokerage of some of the most prestigious shipyards, operational yacht management, crew management, financial advisory, and technical support. With more than 80 service points spread across Greece, Turkey, Croatia, and Montenegro, Atalanta Marine is the ideal partner to support Cantieri di Pisa's renewed international vision.
Greece and the Aegean Sea have long represented a key market for Cantieri di Pisa, where the brand has enjoyed remarkable success since the 1970s. Under the new ownership of Enrico Gennasio, since 2021, the shipyard has embarked on a path of revitalization built on quality, innovation, and a strong sense of identity. The appointment of Atalanta Marine is a strategic milestone in this renewed chapter.
"We are very pleased and genuinely proud to welcome Atalanta Marine into the Cantieri di Pisa family. This appointment further strengthens our bond with a region that has played a pivotal role in our shipyard's heritage. We look forward to introducing our new projects to the owners of the Eastern Mediterranean, who have always shown great appreciation for our brand," said Marco Massabò, CEO of Cantieri di Pisa.
"We are honored to represent the legendary Cantieri di Pisa, the choice of the Greek Elite Yachtsmen and the synonym of exquisite design identity and strong performance yachts.
We are thrilled to be part of the new era of the shipyard, trusting that with our great experience and expertise we will mark a new very promising chapter in its history!", stated Dimitris Deligiannis, Managing Partner of Atalanta Marine.
In its new chapter, Cantieri di Pisa, together with Chief Designer Antonio Luxardo, has developed a fleet comprising the Akhir, Saturno, and Polaris lines, in collaboration with some of the world's most renowned design and architecture studios. The Akhir line, which stems from the shipyard's most iconic and celebrated range, is being reimagined with a new generation of fast, distinctive motoryachts. These are crafted with deep respect for the brand's DNA and signature style, but designed with a new philosophy that emphasizes the use of extremely lightweight materials and innovative construction techniques.
The first model, the Akhir 44, was created in collaboration with Pulina Exclusive Interiors, which designed the interior spaces, while the exterior lines are by Antonio Luxardo. Saturno is a line conceived for owners who appreciate classic design paired with modern, livable spaces. It will include five models built from steel, aluminum, and composite materials - the Saturno 38, 48, and 56, along with the Super Saturno 64 and Super Saturno 90. For the interiors of models over 50 meters in length, Cantieri di Pisa has chosen to collaborate with m2atelier. Polaris is a range of voyager yachts constructed from steel and aluminum, featuring composite superstructures and a displacement hull EHPH (Eco High Power Hull) designed for long-range cruising with reduced fuel consumption. The line includes the Polaris 38, 48, and Super Polaris 60. The interior design of the Polaris 48 has been entrusted to the international studio Parisotto + Formenton.
