United Yacht Sales, the world's largest yacht brokerage firm with more than 250 yacht brokers, will partner with Aquitalia Yachts as their U.S. dealer. Aquitalia Yachts, designed and built at the Yihong Yachts Shipyard, are luxury flybridge cruising yachts with models from 64 to 95-feet known for their high level of owner customization capabilities.

"We are thrilled to be able to give our brokers the opportunity to offer Aquitalia to their clients," said Captain Jeff Palmer, President of United Yacht Sales. "The fit-and-finish on these boats is excellent, it's European design and styling, excellent craftsmanship, and the shipyard has in-depth quality control since more than 90% of the boat is completed in one facility."

The Aquitalia 78 recently won the World Yacht Trophies "Best Evolution Award" at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival. United Yacht Sales will have a new Aquitalia 78 Flybridge on display at the 2024 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show.

"With years of background in the yachting industry, Aquitalia Yachts deploys state of the art technologies, nimble management strategies, employing some of the most capable designers, engineers, cabinet makers, fibreglass technicians and a labor force with exceptional skills, to allow customization and a final product light years ahead of other builders."

The Yihong Yachts shipyard that builds each Aquitalia spans 45 acres and has a production area of 2.19 million square feet.

"A special event will be planned at FLIBS 2024 featuring the Aquitalia 78," continued Jeff. "Stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram channels to find out more information as we get closer to the first boat arriving."

"Embark on a Journey of Unsurpassed Luxury: Indulge your passion for yachting with the 78-foot motor yacht, where modern design, handcrafted interiors, and beautiful finishing converge to create an extraordinary vessel. Experience the epitome of luxury, tailored to your preferences, and set sail on a journey of unrivalled opulence.
