IYC (The International Yacht Company), one of the world's largest and leading yachting companies, is delighted to confirm the partnership with Cantiere delle Marche for the USA, representing the leader in explorer yachts construction to the US clientele.

The announcement, made just before the grand opening of the Palm Beach International Boat Show (23-26 March 2023), reinforces the expertise of IYC and its leading position in the growing US market, alongside the major Italian shipyard. While its story begins in 2010, Cantiere delle Marche is recognized as the world's leading builder of explorer yachts since 2015. 

“Our ex­plorer yachts per­fectly match the way many US yacht own­ers use their boats. All ex­plorer yachts built by Cantiere delle Marche, no mat­ter their size, al­low max­i­mum free­dom, range and re­li­a­bil­ity to en­joy the beauty of trop­i­cal arch­i­pel­a­goes, Ba­hamas, Caribbean, with­out stop­ping for re­fu­el­ing or pro­vi­sion­ing,” explains Vasco Buonpensiere, co-founder and CEO of Cantiere delle Marche.


"IYC will act as a real CDM sales of­fice in the US, there­fore be­com­ing also a very im­por­tant ref­er­ence point for the Amer­i­can bro­ker­age com­mu­nity which will deal with IYC on the same terms as they would deal di­rectly with the ship­yard." adds Buonpensiere. "We have cho­sen IYC as a part­ner for the US mar­ket be­cause we have al­ready had the op­por­tu­nity to re­al­ize that we share the same ap­proach and en­thu­si­asm to yacht­ing and we both are truly com­mit­ted to cus­tomer care. Cantiere delle Marche and IYC will at­tend boat shows to­gether and or­ga­nize monthly events in the States jointly. Cantiere delle Marche’s Sales team looks for­ward to work­ing with IYC pas­sion­ate and skilled pro­fes­sion­als.”

Raphael Sauleau, CEO of IYC, comments:" We are de­lighted to part­ner with Cantiere delle Marche. Their ex­cep­tional rep­u­ta­tion in the in­dus­try aligns with our core val­ues and com­mit­ment to ex­cel­lence. We be­lieve that this part­ner­ship will of­fer our clients an un­par­al­leled level of ser­vice. This part­ner­ship re­flects our shared ded­i­ca­tion to set­ting the high­est stan­dards in yacht de­sign, con­struc­tion and cus­tomer sat­is­fac­tion. In ad­di­tion, this col­lab­o­ra­tion ex­pands our com­pa­nies’ reach and un­der­scores our mis­sion to make an im­pact on the yacht­ing land­scape.”

We look forward to a fruitful collaboration and bringing expertise and knowledge to our US clientele and raising the luxury expectations to high-end, very demanding American owners who are looking to create new boundaries with Cantiere delle Marche and IYC.
