This includes vessels by Absolute, Amer Yachts, Azimut, Bavaria, Cantieri Estensi, Cranchi, Fairline, Ferretti (Riva and Pershing), Frauscher Boats, Galeon, Greenline, Hanse, Jeanneau (Leader and Prestige), Magazzù, Princess, SACS, Sunseeker, Versilcraft and more.
“We are delighted to be collaborating with many manufacturers of yachts and luxury RIBs, and pleased that they are being launched and displayed at Cannes,” adds Stefan Carlsson, Volvo Penta’s global head of the Marine Leisure Diesel Segment.
“And the choice of Volvo Penta’s engines and propulsion systems for these beautifully-crafted boats is testament to the continual research, development and internationally renowned service we offer.”
