A noble name in Italian yachting, Bellini Nautica, comes to the market with its own boat brand, Bellini Yacht. It does so by launching Astor 36, an elegant walkaround vessel with two cabins and very elegant lines designed by Brunello Acampora.
Astor 36 is only the first model in the program, already next year will arrive (for the Cannes Boat Show) also a 56′ while of the flagship, a 66‘, for the moment the first sketches exist. The boats, built in Fano, are set up in Cortefranca, a few kilometers from Lake Iseo. It is here that the Bellini family has its roots, which since the 1960s has been involved first in building small, elegant wooden hulls, then in being the most important reference point for refitting Riva d’Epoca boats (as well as dealer for important Italian brands). At the helm of the new brand are their father Romano Bellini, but above all their two children Martina and Battista; on the board of directors among others is Norberto Ferretti while, as we mentioned, the design and is the work of Brunello Acampora.
