MarineMax Minnesota delivers Italian luxury to Bayport Marina

MarineMax Minnesota Senior Sales Executive, Chris Voss, finds the perfect yachts for two happy customers. "With over 35 years in the marine industry, it's still a great feeling to help someone find the boat of their dreams," explains Chris Voss, MarineMax Sales Executive. "Azimut Yachts are extravagant. Now with three owners on the St Croix River, we've turned the Bayport Marina into an Azimut Showroom this summer."

The new owners of a 2019 Azimut 50 FLY named "Timeless" are experienced boaters. They moved up from a Sea Ray 280 Sundancer and have spent time cruising the British Virgin Islands captaining a MarineMax Vacations 48 Aquila. Kent, Karen, and family celebrated the new purchase with a Christening Party on July 15, which also happened to be Kent's birthday. The party took place on the docks of Bayport Marina, complete with light hors d 'oeuvres, wine, and champagne. The evening culminated in a yacht cruise with the happy couple at the helm. The family is planning a trip along the St Croix river this summer, followed by a trip down the river to Naples, FL for the winter. The boat will return to Minnesota next spring and call Bayport Marina home.

Another Azimut Yacht, to be named “Santosha,” has also been launched in the waters of the St Croix.  Her new owners selected a 2019 Azimut 55 Fly and were immediately impressed with the Azimut brand. The Italian luxury look, and feel is stunning. The 55 Fly will be their first boat, and it had to be perfect. Bayport’s Rick Wondra and Chris Voss spent hours with the family refining options and equipment with the excited couple at the 2018 Ft Lauderdale Boat Show. Only weeks out from delivery, the MarineMax team is hard at work organizing a proper christening party. The boat will dock at the Bayport Marina until the family plans a voyage south to Florida.

Azimut yacht design shapes the Italian essence behind the brand. Each model in the Azimut range reflects the attention to detail and the style excellence of Italian manufacturing. Design, technology, materials, components, and human expertise are all Azimut hallmarks that meet a higher standard.
