New Launch: Benetti 107.6 meter FB272

Benetti FB272 M/Y Luminosity is not an ordinary super yacht. The most advanced technology ever seen in the yacht industry matches the most pleasing results. Diesel-electric power, Azipod propulsion and advanced high-tech battery technology for covering 8,000 nm at 10 knots reveal a truly hybrid world cruiser. A floating dream not over yet. Her pioneering spirit is always monitoring the development of the future improvements and opportunities. The engine room is an impressive example of advanced technology. An advanced system for the minimum level of vibration and noises. A 3 megawatt/h Lithium Polymer battery bank for 12 hours of power with switched-off generators and no emissions. The Power Management System assures the best use of every ounce of energy. Appliances and systems on board operate with the maximum efficiency anywhere in the world. From an unrivalled audio-video system to a cutting-edge super-fast connection never used before on a yacht of this size and fingerprint recognition systems to access the more private areas. Preventive measures ensure safety in any situation. From sand filters and retractable stabilizer fins to a medical centre with an air sanitation system. So much more than just a practical purpose. Energy and technology bring to life some modern works of art on board. Over 370 meters of interactive panels show powerful images of nature letting them come alive and the 264 white magnolia flowers on the Main Saloon wall, silently open and close as a person passes through, miming the ever-evolving perfection of Nature.  FB272 embraces art in an extraordinary way. Beauty in its purest form blends with comfort and onboard needs. Every single detail tells a story. Every creation evokes masterpieces of artists who have left a mark on the history of art. Damien Hirst’s famous coloured circles find new expression on the French limestone floor in the Main Deck Lobby. As for Man Ray, an extraordinary eye-shaped construction at the base of the 18-meter-high stairwell winks at his magnificent work. The hymn to life of Matisse’s collages inspires the intriguing shapes throughout the yacht’s Main Saloon and Lounge. Among them, a sinuous configuration of hand-forged steel polished to a mirror that encloses a thousand Bohemian crystal bulbs illuminates the main lounge.  Other enchanting stories adorn this space: the beginning of Melville’s Moby Dick is gently engraved on the crafted pillars. The adventures of the world’s great sea faring explorers enrich the refined Portuguese Majolica tiles by Boca do Lobo on the cabinetry. An ensemble of highly polished concave and convex dishes flood the Master Deck Office with light. A great tribute to the Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor. Another eyecatcher on this deck is the Master Stateroom full custom Culligan hydromassage, crafted from one single block of the same marble used by Michelangelo to sculpt his outstanding David in Florence. The changing lunar phases in a single piece of Iranian onyx cut with surgical precision. A dreamy Moon Light shines upon the Upper Deck VIP suite. Endless details catch the eye without having to compete for the attention.

New Model: Benetti Diamond 145

On the morning of Saturday January 25, the first Diamond 145 unit was launched by the Viareggio’s Benetti slipway. The 44-meter-long Class category flagship was given its baptism in the sea at an impressive ceremony in front of hundreds of spectators. There was an emotional atmosphere for the slipway launch of the first Diamond 145 unit, the 44-meter fiberglass flagship in the Class category, which touched the water for the first time with the entire city looking on. Welcoming the Authorities, the public, suppliers and all the company’s workers and office staff, Azimut|Benetti Group President Paolo Vitelli spoke of a spectacular launch. Diamond 145, sold thanks to the brokers Domeyachts and The Doc Yacht Services, is a powerful yet elegant yacht with a fiberglass hull, a gross tonnage of 456 tonnes, and a range of 3600 nautical miles at a cruising speed of eleven knots. The design of the exteriors, taken together with the contribution from Benetti’s Interior Style Department, underscores the details and celebrates harmonious, balanced proportions. The yacht, of which two units have already been sold, is the only fiberglass yacht of this size available today on the market. The design of the big seamless glazed surfaces on the main decks flows along the entire length of the yacht, allowing natural light to flood into interiors accommodating ten guests in five cabins, while the captain has a private cabin on the Upper Deck, near the helm station. In the stern, sliding glass doors open out onto a spacious beach area.

New Launch: Benetti 47 meter FB703

Benetti custom mega yacht FB703 M/Y “Bacchanal”, with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, was launched in a festive atmosphere on August 2 in Viareggio. At 47 meters in length and with a draught of 2.45 metres, FB703 has a gross tonnage of just under 500 tonnes.  Despite the international feel of the yacht’s style, influenced significantly by architect Mauricio Gómez de Tuddo who worked with the Benetti Interior Style Department on the décor, FB703 is permeated by unique furnishings “Made in Italy” by brands like Minotti and Paola Lenti, as well as by Giorgetti, Rimadesio, Poltrona Frau and Exteta. The design of the sleek, elegant exteriors is entirely the work of Benetti. The layout, designed to accommodate twelve guests and seven crew, is spread across four decks, on which both interiors and exteriors share the same uniform approach. This effort can be seen most clearly on the Main Deck, where the cockpit, dining area and main lounge are divided by full-width frame-less sliding glass doors, creating an airy in and out veranda space. The pleasurable sensation of being out in the open air and having more direct contact with the sea makes the spaces seem larger and fills them with natural light. This solution is enriched and enhanced by the choice of teak floors with black caulking in both indoor and outdoor areas.  The night area for guests, consisting of two VIP and two guest cabins, is on the Lower Deck, as are the crew quarters. The captain’s accommodation and a third VIP cabin are on the Upper Deck. The full-beam owner’s suite, entered through a private study, is in the bow section of the Main Deck. The custom pool on the Sun Deck is clad in mosaic by Sicis, representing the ultimate in elegance.  Benetti FB703 is equipped with a sonar system to increase on board safety, allowing to identify bodies in the sea and providing information about any obstacles up to and over 500 meters from the yacht.  FB703 is powered by two MTU 1448hp engines and cruises at a speed of 14 knots, with a range of 4000 nautical miles at ten knots, allowing it to make transatlantic crossings.

New Launch: Benetti 108 meter FB275

The final installment of Benetti’s Giga Season kicks off as the yard announces the successful delivery of the 108 meter flagship Giga yacht FB275, the longest yacht ever built by Benetti. Featuring exterior design and decor by RWD and interiors by Benetti’s in-house design team. Onboard amenities such as her large swimming pool, on board cinema, fire pit and treasure trove of water toys make her live up to her Giga yacht status.  FB275 is the longest of three hundred plus meter super yachts built simultaneously by Benetti at its Italian facilities.  The 108-metre flagship departed Benetti’s yard in Livorno on July 26.  The departure of FB275 marks a significant milestone for the leading Italian shipyard. With a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and a naval architecture by Pierluigi Ausonio, the 108-metre FB275 is the longest Giga yacht ever to be delivered by Benetti. She features 14.5 meters beam, a draft of 4.4 meters and a gross tonnage of 3,367 tonnes. After four sea trials she is now accredited with Lloyd Certification.  With a fuel tank capacity of 345,000 liters and powerful twin MTU 3862hp engines, she has a maximum speed of 18.5 knots and an autonomous range of 6500 nm at 14 knots. Benetti’s new flagship Giga yacht also boasts an electric Schottel stern SPJ pump jet to enable the yacht to travel distances powered entirely by electric propulsion.  From the large heated swimming pool on the Main Deck to her treasure trove of yacht toys and tenders accommodated on board, the FB275 is a Giga yacht built for embracing the very best of the yacht life. In addition to her two fourteen meter tenders together with a  ten meter custom tender and a total of eight jet skis, she boasts more than 1000 square meters entirely devoted to outdoor living spaces. The Observation Deck is a highlight on board, providing breathtaking evenings under the stars, while on the Bridge Deck a 1.5-metre fire pit sets the scene for cosy nights at sea. The Owner’s Deck features its own private al fresco dining and relaxation areas, while on the Main Deck a vast dining table provides the perfect setting for an evening of al fresco fine dining. FB275 accommodates up to 22 guests on board in absolute comfort and luxury, tended to by a yacht crew of 29.  The Benetti’s Giga Season officially kicked off with the builds of three 100+ metre Giga yachts at the Benetti facilities in Italy. To rise to the enormous challenge of building three luxury Giga yachts of this size concurrently, Benetti heavily invested in their company processes, as well as their Livorno facilities. A fully ENAC – Italian Civil Aviation Authority – compliant helipad was installed for the comfort and convenience of clients and their staff, while two new 58.5 x 137-metre sheds enabled Benetti to massively increase its productivity. Both sheds are equipped with two gantry cranes with a maximum capacity of 40 tonnes.  The development by Benetti of the three Giga yachts construction program has also required the creation of an exceptional team of experts specialized in large yacht construction. Benetti is one of the very few shipyards in the world with the capabilities to build yachts exceeding 100-meters in length. This is part of a long-term plan for Benetti, and it is, indeed, the dawn of the Giga yacht in Italy. For the first time, an Italian private yard will be a serious competitor in the international 100+ meter luxury yacht market. With FB275 now delivered to her owners, the handover of the 107-metre FB277 will follow shortly, followed by the delivery of FB272 in the second half of the year.

New Launch: Benetti 107 meter FB277

On December 18th 2018, in Livorno Benetti successfully launched FB277, a 107 meters motor yacht, the biggest ever built in Italy by a private shipyard. Powered by a diesel electric propulsion system, the yacht’s interiors and exterior have been designed entirely in house by Benetti and managed by Imperial, acting as Owner’s Representative, Build Supervisor and Yacht Manager of the vessel. The giga yacht has a hull constructed in steel and a superstructure of aluminium. She features a large swimming pool on the Sun Deck, a grand piano, a Spa, massage room and gym and a touch and go helipad. Her maximum beam is 15.2 meters and she has a full load displacement of 3,300t.  The giga yacht FB277 is a stunning creation of epic proportions. From the exterior, her elongated and linear profile, emphasized by balanced ribbons of glazing, speak to the admirer of contemporary and minimal design. Her strong plumb bow is businesslike and rooted in the practical need to tackle swelling seas with ease and comfort. Here also, a vast helicopter pad makes for uncomplicated landings. To the stern each gently staggered deck ends in graceful sweep downwards.  In terms of guest facilities FB277 covers all the bases, adding delights guests might not have even thought to indulge in during their seafaring adventures. On the wheelhouse deck the master cabin is a sumptuous full beam size, flanked by identical port and starboard balconies leading on to vast dressing rooms and an interconnected bathroom. The upper deck saloon, aft of this suite, is perfect for unwinding at the end of a long day, listening to the grand piano or watching a movie on the private sofa. On the main deck, seven huge VIP cabins, each with a large bathroom, are placed forward of the spacious main dining and saloon area. A mesmerizing spiral staircase with a full height inner atrium intersects each deck. Half of the lower deck and some space on the under lower deck has been set aside for generous amounts of crew accommodation.  A spacious beach club has access to the sea on both sides of the beam, as well as to stern, creating a huge connection with nature. The ship’s connecting spa area is equipped with a gym and a massage room. Large areas of deck satisfy the sun lovers: the top deck features seating and sun pads for those who favour a view, whilst the sun deck accommodates dining areas, more sun pads and a huge pool that can hold about 21,000 liters. More outdoor seating is found on the wheelhouse deck and aft on the main deck.  Finally delivery of the yacht is expected to take place in Summer 2019. Benetti’s Giga yacht construction program, which includes two other giga yachts in build and due to be launched in the next few months, has been the subject of major investment at the shipyard. An ambitious business plan has prompted financial input of more than fifteen million euros in infrastructure, organisation, safety and security, to overcome the challenges presented by building such giga yachts. The development by Benetti of the Giga yacht construction program has also required the creation of a special team of experts in this specific type of project. Expansion at the Livorno shipyard, in the form of two new generation steel structure sheds, have enabled Benetti to massively increase its productivity.

Project: Benetti Bnow 63

True luxury, far from mere exagerations, means having ones desire satisfied, no matter how small, and owning something unique and different from all the others, something that answers the most personal needs. This is the philosophy that underpins Benetti new Bnow, the family of displacement yachts with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure in the Custom product line. Featuring streamlined modern exterior lines and a vertical bow, the yachts in this product family offer well-being and comfort accompanied by much shorter delivery times. With the help of Benetti’s advanced construction technology, all Bnow models will be built in less than the standard time recognized by the super yacht industry.  Four different lengths will be on offer: 50 meters, 55 meters, 63 meters and 68 meters in length. The result of close collaboration between Benetti and UK-based superyacht designers RWD, the yachts will have a layout that can be customized and newly designed exterior contours aligned with specific demands from various owners. In response to the original brief “to create an innovative well-being concept for the maximum comfort, light and use of spaces.” RWD have developed a seamless indoor-outdoor living area with panoramic Pool Lounge as an extension of the aft deck and Beach Club.  The creativity brought to bear by RWD has produced four models that share a unique family feeling and are immediately recognizable, with their sleek, sweeping lines. Their profile stands out for the dynamic union it creates between the decks, which have long windows that act as connecting elements in the creation of a uniquely harmonious whole and represent the main distinctive feature.  All the layouts feature a new and revolutionary concept of on-board lifestyle, because they make innovative use of the spaces from day to night.  As can be seen above by the rendering of the Bnow 63, this last type of yacht too reflects developments in the yachting market and the needs of a precise type of owner, one looking for a casual and contemporary feel without compromising on the highest levels of comfort and privacy.

Project: Benetti Diamond 145

Benetti present the Diamond 145 project, a 44-meter displacement super yacht that draws on the core features of the Displacement Class line history.  Expert owners will be struck by a yacht that can be an integral part of their finest moments with unparalleled style, comfort and safety.  The elegant design suggests the proportions and details that convey a feeling of sturdiness and power. The discreet but tangible sense of refinement will strike a chord with owners who love to combine glamour with credible practicality.  The seamless design of the huge glazed surfaces accentuates the length of the yacht and its brightly-lit interiors. The exterior styling, which stands out for its remarkable continuity of lines and surfaces, is the work of Giorgio M. Cassetta.  The interior design by Achille Salvagni is based on roomy, welcoming settings, where the choice of light color shades underscores the wealth of natural light. Access to the main deck is by two wide stairways in the stern, which are also one of the yacht’s architectural highlights. The main cockpit welcomes guests in a wide and bright setting, and leads seamlessly to the immense, fully glazed main lounge. The full-beam master cabin in the bow has a roomy wardrobe, a full-beam bathroom and a study or office. The galley and service areas are laid out to make best use of the space available, in such a way as to provide high level service on board, without encroaching on guests’ privacy.  The upper deck features a big outdoor area in the stern with access to the lounge, which is dominated by extensive glazed surfaces that cover 80% of the perimeter. The extremely spacious piloting area is positioned next to the captain’s cabin for perfect visibility. The bow area covers seventy square meters and features a remarkable custom spa pool.  The sun deck, over 115 square meters of outdoor space and can be furnished according to the owner’s tastes. All life rafts and all functional features are hidden or integrated in the design to avoid contaminating the purity of the yacht’s contours.  The night area for guests is on the lower deck and is made up of four double cabins, with the option of a fifth on the upper deck. The crew quarters and laundry are fit in the bow area.  The beach area and beach club can be fully customised and can be enjoyed both at sea and at anchor. The two 1400hp Man engines will drive the Benetti Diamond 145 to a top speed of 15 knots and at a cruise of eleven knots the super yacht will have a range of 3,800 nautical miles.

Project: Benetti Oasis 135

What is an oasis if not a point of refreshment, a dream come true that appears unexpectedly on the horizon? A promise of freshness, relief and relaxation to enjoy in complete comfort: this is the intended message conveyed by Oasis 135, the new project in Benetti’s Class product line. Created to satisfy the needs of an active and sophisticated owner who wants to live his life at sea to the full and across the board, and who has a lifestyle focused on casual elegance, Oasis 135 is packed with solutions in which close contact with the water plays a foreground role, as is demonstrated by the spectacular beach area with infinity pool just steps from the sea. The high ceilings, the unusual layout of the on-board spaces, and the extensive use of natural light confirm and underscore the desire to enter into a symbiotic relationship with the outside world.  This ambitious project, on which Benetti has worked in partnership with UK-based firm RWD and New York design studio Bonetti-Kozerski that has designed the interiors, revolves around an on-board lifestyle in which sporting activities alternate with periods of total relaxation.  The interiors, designed by US-based firm Bonetti-Kozerski, are casual-chic in style and reveal a highly sophisticated use of materials, color combinations and forms of decoration, all underpinned by an elegant sense of understatement. The designers choice of materials for the decor includes light color leather and rosewood in light, bright color ways. Taken together, all these details define the setting and the overall effect is that of a spacious loft featuring seamless continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces, where the multi-purpose settings can be enjoyed at any time of day.  Sophisticated settings with a classical feel meet a dynamic lifestyle on board Oasis 135, a 41-meter displacement super yacht with a fibreglass hull and superstructure, and a layout extending across four decks.  The Master Suite on the main deck offers the owner a spacious apartment with an elegant marble bathroom. The galley is also situated on this deck, along with a huge day area that replaces the traditional saloon. Here, the windows around the entire perimeter can be opened to create a unique setting in close contact with the sea, with no barriers between indoor and outdoor spaces. This deck provides access to the beach terrace, which can be made even more spacious by opening the two side platforms. The yacht also has one generous balcony in the owner’s suite.  The pilot house has been designed for the first time as a living space dominated by extensive glazed surfaces, a lounge area with sofas and armchairs, and a carefully arranged workstation, in which the helm console, an area for relaxation and the chart table form a single setting from which to enjoy the cruise from start to finish. The captain’s cabin is located immediately aft of this, while the night area for guests is on the Lower Deck, with two VIP cabins and two cabins with twin beds. Further forward are the crew quarters, with accommodation for nine people.  The Benetti Oasis 135 will have a cruise speed stands at 14 knots, with a top speed of 15, and the yacht has a range of 4,000 nautical miles at 11 knots.

New Model: Benetti 95 Delfino

November 30 saw the launch in Viareggio of the first Benetti Delfino 95, the first unit in the new Class displacement line created for owners looking for extreme comfort, maximum live-ability and the peerless quality standards typical of Benetti yachts. After the success of the Delfino 93, fourteen units sold to date, the Italian super yacht builder decided to embark on a new project featuring spaces that flow into each other and an interior layout reminiscent of larger-sized yachts. In terms of its design, this is a yacht built to amaze with the volumes it offers: despite a length overall of 28.95 meters and a tonnage of less than 200 tonnes allowing to an expert owner to pilot the yacht without the help of a captain, it has remarkably spacious cabins and can accommodate five crew members. On the style front, there has been concerted effort to translate all functional elements into decorative features, as well as to develop a light design that is both unique and innovative, drawing on the collaboration of UK-based design firm Aqualuce. The interiors are furnished in a modern style, with warm colors and moods: the main wood variety used is Canaletto walnut selected without flaming, interspersed with printed leather panels. The flooring in communal areas is parquet, while carpet has been used in the cabins. The Eramosa marble chosen for the yacht is cut in two different directions, with and across the veining, which changes its pattern.  The Lower Deck is dedicated to guests, with four double cabins, including two intercommunicating VIP suites (through a big sliding door) with double beds and two twin-bed cabins. Each cabin has its own bathroom and the crew quarters can accommodate five members. The Main Deck is all on one level and features regular settings and shapes, allowing the spaces to be personalized as desired. The wide-body owner’s cabin is particularly roomy, with a width of almost seven meters, and also has a separate wardrobe area, designed as a special request by the owner, while the bathroom is fitted with a big shower compartment. The main lounge stands out for the two large glazed surfaces on either side that run the entire length of this setting, while the sliding door in the stern provides a remarkable sense of continuity between indoor and outdoor areas. The innovative positioning of the entire command station on the top level allows the service area to be concentrated on a single deck, making it easier and more practical for crew members to perform their work and delivering more privacy for the owner and their guests. The galley is very spacious in terms both of floor surface and work top space, while the laundry area has been positioned in the center of the boat. The Upper Deck features a big rest and relaxation zone, a classic sun lounging area, the helm station and, behind it, a dining area with opening roof and mood lighting for the evening, while the stern area contains an open air living area of unprecedented size. The large teak deck can be furnished according to the owner’s tastes and needs. The life rafts have been incorporated into the superstructure, so they are in no way detrimental to the elegance of the exterior lines. In an important innovation for boats this size, there is also a Sun Deck with two sofas, one of them reserved for the outdoor helm station, in order to offer guests the chance to enjoy the view during navigation, as well as providing an extra helm station, which is particularly useful when maneuvering the yacht because of its height above water level. The garage can accommodate a tender up to 4.40 meters in length and the yacht is fitted with two 1000hp Man engines, driving it to a top speed of 13.5 knots.

New Launch: Benetti 67 meter FB268

Benetti is pleased to announce the launch of the 67 meter fully custom FB268 named M/Y Seasense is a full custom superyacht with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure built for an experienced owner who has chosen the Benetti brand for the first time. The launch ceremony took place in Benetti’s historic Livorno shipyard, perfectly on schedule according to the production plan, with shipyard workers, management, the owner’s representatives and the crew in attendance. The elegant exterior lines of FB268 are by the Dutch designer Cor D. Rover, designing its first Benetti vessel, while the naval architecture was developed by the shipyard’s technical office. The contemporary styling of the interiors, on the other hand, is the result of collaboration between the Benetti’s architects team and the design studio Area from Los Angeles, making its debut in the world of superyachts. The layout includes six suites that can accommodate up to 12 guests. The basic concept underpinning this Benetti superyacht is reflected in its name which has been translated into a design that revolves around the relationship with the surrounding environment. In fact, the owner wanted the outdoor areas to be as spacious as possible, to offer the maximum possible contact with the sea. In particular, the stern area of the main deck is given over to a big pool with a sun-lounging area connected to the peculiar main salon that, through the opening of big sliding doors, provides even more outdoor space for guests. Benetti FB268 is fitted with twin 1380kW Caterpillar engines, it has a top speed of 15.5 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots. The range at a cost effective speed of 12 knots is 5,000 nautical miles. Final delivery is scheduled for the end of July 2017,

New Model: Benetti 116 Mediterraneo

At the end of August Benetti launched hull number one of the 116 Mediterraneo, a new model for its semi custom Class Displacement line, which starts with the 93 Delfino and goes up to the 145 Vision model.  Standing at over 35 meters in length the 116 Mediterraneo is a design of Italy's new hot designer Giorgio Maria Cassetta, who went for the classic Benetti looks as evoked since the nineties by the famous Italian super yacht builder. The new 116 Mediterraneo features a lot of intelligent solutions made to extend space, and have no interrupted views from the living areas.  Power comes from twin Man 1400hp engines which give max speeds up to 15 knots.  Three further hulls are already in construction as before the fall boat show season started.

Project: Benetti 116 Mediterraneo

At the coming Cannes boat show this September 2016 Benetti will officially premiere the new 116 Mediterraneo. The new Class Displacement series model at just over 35 meter is characterized by smooth and slender lines, representing a stylistic revolution for the shipyard. One of the main focus of the project is surely the brightness theme: the careful superstructure’s design provides a sensation of luminosity, amplified by several elements on-board. For instance, the two meter wide crystal doors that from the main deck gives onto the salon, or the continuous three meter tall picture windows. Always in the same salon, in the dining area, two windows give onto the exterior walkway that, thanks to its width, can also be used as a balcony.  On the main deck can be found another perfect example of the revolution in design and layout brought to us by the Mediterraneao 116, the six meter wide cockpit allows a panoramic view of the sea right forward with intelligent use of ergonomic spaces.  Farther forward, always on the main deck, is the owner's apartments, while guests have at their disposal four cabins in the lower deck, each one enriched by a large window that gives an exceptional sea-level view. Excellent design for the crew movement as well, so to grant the perfect privacy and the maximum efficiency.  Lots of space dedicated to fun and entertainments on the external area, with a huge area on the upper deck.  Performance is provided by two Man 1400hp each, giving the 116 Mediterraneo a top speed of fifteen knots, while cruising at ten knots delivers a range of three thousand nautical miles.

New Model: Benetti 125 Vivace

Benetti 125 Vivace second model of the Fast Displacement series made its debut at the Cannes boat show in early September.  Vivace 125 joins the flagship of the Class Fast Displacement line, the 140 Veloce, and takes inspiration from its forerunners construction technology, stylistic features, and spatial layout. Benetti Class Vivace 125 is a composite and carbon construction yacht built at the Viareggio boatyard; measuring just over 38 meters and featuring a semi-wide body with three decks plus sun deck. Much like its bigger sister, Stefano Righini has designed the F-125 with a sporty exterior employing generous amounts of horizontal windows to accentuate the sleek lines; its hallmark is a large central design element at the sides enclosing the upper deck stair.  The interior layout is articulated in 4 suites for 8 guests and the owner's apartments forward on the main deck, at full beam. The captain plus a crew of 7 is available to see to all the guest's needs.  Thanks to an exclusive agreement, 125 Vivace is equipped with an innovative series of azipod transmissions expressly designed by Rolls-Royce for Benetti: carbon Azipull 65C pods. The D2P Displacement Planing  hull equipped with wave piercer was perfected by Benetti technicians for the Rolls-Royce propulsion pod by optimising all the stern tunnel thrusters and those elements impacting hydrodynamic coefficients. The result is an even greater improvement of the already enhanced propulsion efficiency of the pod drives.  The D2P hull with wave piercer enables the new Fast Displacement series to reach higher speeds without engine strain, or to cruise in displacement mode at an economical speed with a much greater range.

New Model: Benetti 50 meter FB801

Almost 50 metres long, FB801 is the first Benetti yacht built with hybrid technology: a fiberglass hull with an aluminium superstructure. The sculptural and flexible qualities of aluminium lend themselves to client customization. FB801 is is a decidedly Mediterranean vessel featuring spacious exteriors, large decks both to the bow and stern of the upper deck, as well as an enormous sun deck.  FB801 ensures comfortable hull performance, practically vibration free and silent thanks to a special elastic connection between the engines and prop shaft.  The exteriors have large full-height windows and also three removable panels a unique feature of Benetti FB801. The first panel is astern and on the side for hauling in and launching the tender; the second is at the swimming platform; and the third is at the lower deck, enabling the lobby usually a closed space to be opened up. In addition unusual for a boat of this size; the retractable stair that leads down to the water, exclusively for the boat owner’s personal use.  The interior layout includes four guest cabins on the lower deck, the boat owner suite towards the bow on the main deck, and an additional cabin on the upper deck. The 12-member crew shares 6 cabins on the lower deck. The interiors were designed for a home-like feel, except for the foyer with its impressive wrought iron stair. Cherry is used throughout in both glossy and satin finishes (for the cabins) with rosewood detailing. The lighting design is quite evocative, featuring LEDs and an alabaster column lit from the inside using white point dynamic brightness controls.

Italian classicism this is Benetti latest fully custom 56 metre super yacht which strikes immediately your attention thanks to its instantly striking profile. The aesthetic impact of the exteriors is the direct result of the boat owner's functional requirements.

The layout includes seven guest cabins plus the boat owner suite. The atmosphere is warm without being heavy, with wood contrasting with white carpet and marble, for an intimate and relaxing environment.
