YYachts opens three new sales offices in Italy

Stefano Leonardi, one of Italy’s most renowned sailing experts, will represent us alongside Raffaele Burgio in the Mediterranean – specifically in Italy, Adriatic countries, Greece, Spain – as well as Portugal & United Arab Emirates.

Italy has long been a key market for us, with its deep-rooted sailing culture. To strengthen our presence, we have opened three new sales offices in partnership with Stefano Leonardi of L Marine Group, with offices in Rome, Marina Cala Galera (Argentario), and Marina Riva di Traiano (Civitavecchia).

Leonardi brings to the task 30 years of profound experience in the yachting industry. His passion for yachts and unparalleled knowledge makes him a trusted guide in the yachting world. From yacht sales to maritime consultancy, Stefano ensures a commitment to excellence in every endeavour.
Stefano Leonardi is among the most renowned and successful Italian sailors.
During his career, he has managed numerous teams in the ORC, IRC, and MAXI circuits, with numerous victories in the Palmares, including several times in the Maxi Rolex.

Now, Leonardi looks forward to his partnership with us with great optimism. A highly respected figure in the sailing world, with unparalleled contacts throughout the industry, he observes: “YYachts boasts an extremely interesting portfolio that excites many clients, attracting both owners with racing ambitions and those who prefer the pure joy of sailing.”
Leonardi’s relationship with YYachts is one of close trust, with founder Michael Schmidt having met him when the shipyard was still in its infancy and Cool Breeze, the first YYacht, was making its debut in the Mediterranean.

“Even back then,” Leonardi recalls, “I was deeply impressed by the brand’s concept. Luxury style combined with simplicity — that’s exactly what we appreciate in Italy.”

Michael Schmidt, founder of YYachts, commented, “I am delighted to welcome Stefano on board, bringing with him extensive experience in the yachting industry. With our offices in Palma, Barcelona, and now three new locations in Italy, we are perfectly positioned to deliver the highest level of customer satisfaction in the Mediterranean.
