ARMATORI RADUNO | LA ROTTA DEL VENTESIMO
A Journey Honouring Excellence, Legacy & the Spirit of the Sea
At Tauss Holdings, we take immense pride in the accomplishments of our subsidiaries. This year marked a particularly significant milestone for one of our flagship companies—Esprit Yachting, which celebrated 20 years as the exclusive Azimut Yachts dealer in Malta.
To commemorate this two-decade journey of excellence, we hosted an extraordinary week-long celebration at sea. Our cherished Azimut Armatori were invited to join us for a remarkable voyage from Malta to the Amalfi Coast—an experience defined by curated moments, iconic destinations, and the unmistakable camaraderie of the Azimut family.
LA ROTTA DEL VENTESIMO
Malta → Syracuse → Taormina → Panarea → Tropea → Sapri → Positano → Nerano → Capri
DAY 1 | MALTA → SYRACUSE
The journey began beneath the sun-drenched bastions of Valletta, as the Azimut fleet cast off from Marina di Valletta. Esprit Yachting’s team joined owners and guests in high spirits as they set sail for Syracuse. The evening was marked by an elegant aperitivo in Piazza Duomo at La Gran Cafe—a warm and spirited start to a milestone voyage.
DAY 2 | SYRACUSE → TAORMINA
As the sun rose, the fleet cruised north to Taormina. A midday stop at La Cambusa for a gourmet seaside lunch—with Mount Etna towering in the background—offered the perfect balance of nature and gastronomy. That evening, guests immersed themselves in the charm of Taormina, enjoying leisure, culture, and sunset views.
DAY 3 | TAORMINA → PANAREA
The voyage continued to Panarea, where our Italian partners at Mil Nautica welcomed the fleet with a gracious brunch at Lisca Bianca. Later that evening, under a starlit sky, we co-hosted “A Sparkling Night” at Raya Panarea—a dazzling evening of live music, cocktails, and shared memories that embodied the elegance of the Azimut lifestyle.
DAY 4 | PANAREA → TROPEA
Cruising south, the fleet arrived in Tropea, where guests swam in crystalline waters before strolling the town’s vibrant streets and enjoying its relaxed Mediterranean pace.
DAY 5 | TROPEA → SAPRI
Navigating the dramatic Tyrrhenian coastline, the fleet reached the tranquil anchorage of Sapri. Here, owners had the chance to unwind—either on board or ashore amid charming trattorias and a peaceful coastal promenade.
DAY 6 | SAPRI → POSITANO
By midday, the fleet arrived in Positano—an Amalfi Coast icon. The day was left open for guests to savour the town’s cliffside beauty, boutique shops, and terraces perched above the sea.
DAY 7 | POSITANO → NERANO | VIVA LA VENTESIMA
This day marked the highlight of the voyage—the official 20th anniversary celebration of Esprit Yachting. We were honoured to welcome Giovanna Vitelli, Chair of the Azimut | Benetti Group, whose presence lent both prestige and warmth to the occasion.
Anchored in the scenic bay of Nerano, guests were ferried ashore to Conca del Sogno for a luxurious Mediterranean lunch. What followed was a joyful afternoon of music, heartfelt speeches, and shared reflections on two decades of dedication, innovation, and passion for life at sea. A vibrant after-party sealed the celebration in unmistakable Esprit style.
DAY 8 | NERANO → CAPRI
To conclude this unforgettable journey, our Armatori gathered for L’Ultimo Pranzo at the legendary Da Luigi ai Faraglioni in Capri. Nestled beneath the island’s iconic sea stacks, the setting was both timeless and fitting—a perfect closing chapter to a voyage that honoured the past and looked toward a bright, sea-bound future.
A MILESTONE MOMENT FOR TAUSS HOLDINGS
At Tauss Holdings, we view this anniversary not only as a testament to Esprit Yachting’s leadership and longevity in the maritime sector, but also as a reflection of our group’s enduring commitment to excellence, client experience, and strategic partnerships.
We extend heartfelt congratulations to the Esprit Yachting team and thank the entire Azimut community for making this celebration truly unforgettable.
Here’s to the next 20 years—onward, forward, and always at sea.
