Cantiere Mimì, in partnership with dealer Boatology, is making its first appearance at the Sydney Boat Show from 13 to 16 November, where it will be exhibiting the Libeccio 8.5 Cabin. The event marks a new milestone in the international expansion of the yard, which is celebrating 50 years in business and recently signed an exclusive distribution agreement for Australia and New Zealand.

Cantiere Mimì announces its debut at one of the most important boat shows in the southern hemisphere, dedicated to boats, accessories and technology related to boating and water sports. From 13 to 16 November, the Shipyard founded 50 years ago as a small local business and today the producer of over 100 boats a year, with total sales of 3,000 units, will be taking part in the Sydney Boat Show in partnership with dealer Boatology, with which it recently signed an exclusive agreement to distribute the entire range in Australia and New Zealand. With this partnership, Cantiere Mimì now has active dealers in around ten different countries, with new agreements in the pipeline to provide even wider coverage.

At the show, the yard will be exhibiting a Libeccio 8.5 Cabin model to showcase the brand's values of Italian design, fine craftsmanship, easy handling and excellent seakeeping even in challenging conditions. A Libeccio 13.50 Cabin will also be arriving in Sydney before the end of the year.

The shipyard's participation in the Sydney Boat Show confirms the growing interest shown by owners in this area towards Italian family-run brands and versatile boats with a strong stylistic identity.

By taking part in the show, Cantiere Mimì boosts its internationalisation strategy and embraces an expanding market that looks enthusiastically to the appeal and quality of Italian boatbuilding.
