09/10/2009 - ATLANTIS VERVE 36 wins the 2009 Boat of the Year Award
The new ATLANTIS VERVE 36 , presented in a double world preview at the Cannes Festival de la Plaisance and at the 2009 Genoa International Boat Show, won "Vela e Motore" magazine's prestigious "Boat of the Year" award – dedicated to the best motor boat and sponsored by the SelmaBipiemme Leasing Group Bancario Mediobanca.
The Award was presented to Atlantis president and CEO Alessandro Furfaro during a gala evening held at Genoa's Galata Museo del Mare.
A commission of journalists, designers and experts, judging between 550 new models presented at the Genoa Show, proclaimed the success of the ATLANTIS VERVE 36, awarding her originality and exceptional practicality. The jury commended the boatyard for having proposed a fresh approach to the sea and boating, ensuring, on a smaller scale, ingenious simplicity and all the beauty of a yacht.
"We are honored to receive this much sought after award," commented Alessandro Furfaro, "it is tangible proof that Atlantis is on the right course for a highly successful coming season together with all the challenges to be conquered by investing in innovation, quality and excellence." The Boat of the Year Award further recognizes the originality of the concept and the exceptional work carried out by the Atlantis technical design department together with Stefano Milanesi and Marco Amadio from Naval Design Studio. Verve 36 inaugurates a line of all new products to be marketed alongside the complete line of sport cruisers. A bulls-eye on the first shot results is a great injection of faith as well as the umpteenth testimonial to the design and production capabilities at our boatyard.
Success is ultimately confirmed by the public appreciation we have received: among the 2,400 boats on display, the flaming orange hull of the Verve 36 could not be missed and caught the attention of many overseas importers.
