This fourth edition of our newsletter, Yachting with Italian Style, showcases Italian companies interested in the American market, and is characterized by a new graphical design in order to remain on the edge and better represent the Italian boating and yachting industry. This fall, we are proud to work with a new partner, Soundings Trade Only, in order to distribute 31,000 copies of the newsletter to boating industry professionals. The newsletter will be featured as an insert in the October 2008 issue of Soundings Trade Only.

The United States represents the most important market worldwide for the boating industry. In 2007, the American boating industry boasted a total industry turn over of approximately $38 billion dollars.

In 2007, Italian exports to the U.S. in the category of ships, boats, and floating structures (HTS code 89) amounted to $242 million; placing Italy as the second largest exporter to the U.S. in this category. That same year, in the more specific category of yachts and other vessels for pleasure or sports (HTS code 8903), Italy ranked second again exporting $226 million to the U.S.

We encourage you to explore and get to know the Italian boating and yachting industry which offers elegance, prestige, tradition, craftsmanship, high quality, and technology all in one, in other words….Yachting with Italian Style.
