Azzura Marine have recently added the Marten Yachts range of sailing yachts to its already impressive marine interests in Australia, which includes both sailing and motor yachts.  Azzura Marine has undertaken with the support of Steve Marten to continue the vision of Marten Yachts. 

Steve will continue to draw on his past experience in the further development and production of the Marten Yacht range of Reichel Pugh designed performance cruising yachts.  All future yachts will be built at the Azzura Marine facilities in Australia and the range will initially include the currently produced Marten 49 and a new larger model to be known as the Marten 67.

Azzura Marine believes their relationship with Marten Yachts will deliver unique sailing yachts that encompass the best in design and will be built using the latest construction technologies.  'I am looking forward to a bright future for Marten Yachts and welcome Steve to Azzura Marine, who through his vast industry knowledge will add further value to our existing boat building operations.'  Iain Murray confirmed.  Steve Marten who is pleased his vision will continue agreed 'The chance to work together with Iain and his team to continue the Marten heritage is an exciting challenge that I am very much looking forward to.'
