Now, these elegant runabouts and tenders, which range from 22 feet to 42 feet, are being offered exclusively in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean through newly formed distributor Comitti North America, headquartered in Saratoga Springs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Among the models Comitti North America is introducing to the North American market year are the new 25\u20198\u201d One 780 and 32\u20196\u201d Isola 33, as well as a \u201csuper custom,\u201d bespoke version of the popular Venezia 28 model paying homage to Comitti and many of the most coveted European runabouts from the \u201960s and \u201970s.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Each of these models is now making its U.S. debut. Comitti North America also has several other Comitti models located in the U.S. available for viewing by prospective dealers and retail clients.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>Comitti North America was founded this spring by Christopher and Chris Mackey, a father-and-son team who have made their mark in the luxury automobile industry over the last 30 years and have recently stepped out on their own with Mackey Auto Group, authorized factory sales and service provider for multiple internationally recognized brands with dealerships throughout upstate New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy father and I have extensive experience in bringing luxury domestic and imported car brands to the U.S., and we recognized a unique opportunity to fill a niche in the North American marine market with Comitti boats. Not only are they Italian-built craft of the highest quality, evoking a \u2018La Dolce Vita\u2019 vibe, but each Comitti also can be extensively customized to the most granular level. Comitti North America\u2019s clients will be able to tailor every detail of their new boat from hull color and interior furnishings to special features like Champagne dispensers or a built-in \u2018Bourbon Bar\u2019. These hulls are a blank canvas for each client or dealer to personalize their Comitti to their individual preferences,\u201d said Comitti North America Co-Founder Chris Mackey.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cFurthermore, Comitti boats are competitively priced with other U.S. Tier One boat manufacturers such as Chris-Craft and Cobalt, while at the same time offering the style, fit and finish of Tier One European brands like Riva at a fraction of the cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Focusing on the exclusive, custom nature of the Comitti line, the Mackeys<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>plan to limit production for the North American market to a maximum of 20 boats per year. Comitti North America is working to establish a network of select dealers in certain affluent \u201cboating-centric\u201d markets including but not limited to The Hamptons, Palm Beach, Lake Minnetonka, the \u201cLakes Region\u201d north of Toronto, Lake Tahoe and Newport Beach. Interested retailers are encouraged to reach out as the initial round of dealer appointments will be limited to just three.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook for the Comitti North America display at the Newport International Boat Show on September 12-15 in Newport, Rhode Island, and the Palm Beach International Boat Show next March,\u201d Mackey added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an exciting time in the industry for North American boaters and dealers to have access to these bespoke craft, which have attracted a passionate following in Europe and beyond for nearly 70 years. The Comitti line of runabouts and superyacht tenders is unlike anything currently available in the domestic market. It is a brand that truly is a lifestyle on its own,\u201d said Tyler Moseman, 32 Mile Marketing, who is supporting Comitti North America with his expertise in the boating marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and to arrange a sea trial of new Comitti model, please contact Christopher Mackey &#x63;&#x63;&#x6d;&#x40;&#x63;&#x6f;&#x6d;&#105;&#116;&#116;&#105;&#110;orth&#x61;&#x6d;&#x65;&#x72;&#x69;&#x63;&#x61;&#x2e;&#99;&#111;&#109;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 1956, family-owned shipyard Comitti has been building bespoke, heirloom-quality boats in Lake Como, Italy, that are prized by discerning yachtsman, families and superyacht owners alike for their timeless lines, Italian craftsmanship and high level of customization.
