Cantiere Mimì is expanding its international network with the appointment of Australian based Boatology to exclusively distribute the Neapolitan yard’s entire range in Australia and New Zealand.
The first to be delivered will be a Libeccio 13.5 Cabin in time for the Sydney Boat Show in November 2025, with an 11-metre model available shortly afterwards.
The expansion into Australia and New Zealand follows Cantiere Mimì’s move into into the Asian market, with a first sale in Hong Kong 2024
Boatology was founded by Zain Moloobhoy who is part of the fourth generation of an entrepreneurial family with a marine heritage dating back to 1905 and a boat lover his whole life.
“About a year ago, I took a gozzo on a cruise along the Amalfi coast,” he said.
I fell in love with the boat’s style, stability and performance.

“I fell in love with the boat’s style, stability and performance. Soon after, I decided to set up Boatology and contacted Cantiere Mimì.”
He added: “More and more Australian and New Zealand owners are looking to legacy, established family boat builders for their uncompromising dedication to high quality and exquisite styling.
“These gozzo boats deliver tremendous seakeeping ability, even in choppy water, and their stunning build quality is typical of the Italian family boatbuilding tradition.”
And he explained how the design, on-board spaces and easy handling of the gozzos makes the craft ideal for use in Australian and New Zealand waters.
“On an aesthetic level they conjure up the charm of the Mediterranean, which is equally lovely to behold in Sydney as it is in Sorrento,” concluded Zain.
Cantiere Mimì’s models include cabin, walkaround, centre console, sport, open and classic versions.
