Cantiere Mimì strengthens its presence in Australia
Cantiere Mimì consolidates its international expansion and strengthens its presence in the Australian market through the partnership with Boatology. This drive for growth will continue with the brand’s participation in the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in May, where it will have four boats on display, after recently taking part for the first time in the Sydney Boat Show.
The internationalisation process continues at Cantiere Mimì, which has intensified its activities on the Australian market in recent months through the brand’s collaboration with Boatology. Playing a central role in this development phase was participation in the Sydney Boat Show, a key event for the yachting industry in this region, which promoted growing interest in the brand and increased sales in Australia.
The partnership with Boatology has been key in raising awareness with the Australian public of Cantiere Mimì’s philosophy and construction quality. The models chosen for the Australian market range in length from 8.5 to 13 metres, meeting the needs of a public interested in both coastal navigation and mid-range cruising. In recent days, a Libeccio 13.5 set sail from Italy bound for Sydney, confirming the confidence of the Australian Market in Italian motor yachts.
As a result of these activities, Cantiere Mimì has recorded a significant rise in sales in Australia, with four boats – Libeccio 8.50 Cabin, Libeccio 9.50 Cabin, Libeccio 11 Cabin, Libeccio 13.5 Cabin – being shown at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, the largest and most important Australian trade fair, to be held in Queensland from May 21-24.
The sales results reported in Australia mark an important step forward for the Italian shipyard, confirming the brand’s ability to meet growing demand for boats in this segment. The recreational boating industry in this region is also experiencing strong growth. With over 900,000 boats registered and more than 2.5 million licences issued, the sector has become a significant driver of the national economy. According to the 2025 Boating Data Report Card (the annual report published by the Boating Industry Association (BIA), the leading trade body for the Australian boating industry), the sector generated $10.2 billion in revenue in 2024–25, supported by more than 2,000 active companies and approximately 24,500 direct employees, as well as thousands of additional jobs across the supply chain.
