Sessa C38 Cockpit
Ausail Marine has been appointed by Premier Yachting as the Queensland dealer for the Italian-made ‘Sessa’ brand of prestigious and stylish motoryachts and cruisers to the boating public with the Australian launch of the Sessa C38 at the upcoming Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in May 2013.
Sessa Marine, a beautifully designed European marque that has made major inroads into the international market with its high-build quality and attractive modern lines.
While Sessa is renowned for its motoryacht range, with flybridge and sedan type designs from 40 to 70ft, it also builds an exceptional line of smaller cruisers including the C38, as well as Key Largo dayboats between 20 to 40ft and Dorado fishing boats. The North Italian builder employs 300 staff and manufactures more than 400 boats annually. See more at – www.ausailmarine.com/sessa-marine
At Ausail Marine we believe that; apart from the very high-quality of all its vessels, the boats are very competitively priced and the Sessa range will certainly have an impact on the Australian prestige boat market.
The Sessa C38 had its debut at the recent Melbourne Boat Show in February and the Sessa flagship C68 is due in Melbourne in April for a Royal Brighton Yacht Club member.
The Sessa brand will be at this year’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (May 23 to 26) and the Sydney International Boat Show (August 2 to 6).
