Denison is pleased to announce its partnership with EXTRA Yachts as its exclusive representative for North & South America, Central America and Mexico.
EXTRA Yachts specializes in the development of yachts with a strong personality. Its distinctive lines are combined in a variety of motor yacht models ranging from 90 to 130 feet and a 30-meter motor catamaran, all characterized by highly livable interiors and exteriors, reduced consumption, and a good range. Developed thanks to the advanced technical experience of ISA Yachts, EXTRA offers customers all the advantages of being part of the Palumbo Superyachts network.
Managing Director of EXTRA Yachts, Antonio Palumbo Jr., shared: "We are very excited to partner with Denison Yachting to help expand the EXTRA brand presence in the Americas. The American market is a world of opportunity for yachting. Denison's strength and expertise will offer exceptional customer service and ample opportunity to develop our presence in the region."
Yacht broker Alex G. Clarke is teaming up with fellow Denison broker Gary Hardcastle to promote the brand within their territories. Alex commented: "EXTRA Yachts is a dynamic shipyard that I feel will continue to gain market share in the America's with their portfolio of express and tri-deck motor yachts. Personally speaking, I feel Gary Hardcastle & Antonio Palumbo are the perfect team to help grow the brand. Both are very driven and I feel focus specifically on the demographic of clientele that EXTRA Yachts appeals to. Francesco Carbone, general manager of Palumbo Superyachts, is a longtime friend and we have a relationship dating back for almost 15 years. Combine that with Antonio Romano of Hot Lab, who is behind the new series offered by EXTRA Yachts (X90 Fast and X98 RPH)-and also is a longtime friend-and we immediately have a team that has fantastic rapport, which will be invaluable when introducing the brand to the Americas. Early in my career, I had an opportunity to work with the Palumbo family, so it's great to see this relationship come full circle and to be working with them again, years down the road. I am excited to see what Gary Hardcastle and Denison Yachting can do with EXTRA Yachts."
There are currently six Extra models available for sale exclusively with Denison. The new X98 RPH concept model stands as the progenitor of the new EXTRA design philosophy, with a sophisticated contemporary style. The main feature of the model is the two-and-a-half-deck layout, albeit the volumes of the latter are considerably deceived by the design of the exterior lines, leading the observer to believe that it is a classic two-deck with flybridge.
