Benetti, the storied Italian shipyard founded in 1873 and specializing in the production of luxury yachts, is the brand of the Azimut|Benetti Group. A symbol of timeless style and excellent construction skills, Benetti is rightfully considered among the world's great mega yachts builders. Benetti operates in its historic headquarters in Viareggio and in its production site in Livorno which, to date, is the world’s largest active shipyard with a surface area of 240,000 square metres. It has offices in Fort Lauderdale, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and London.
To meet the demands of owners seeking the best solution for life at sea, Benetti designs and produces eight yacht lines:
- Benetti B.LOFT is the line designed with new architectural concepts, combining the wide spaces of a villa with the brightness of a loft. The interiors feature heights of approximately four meters, while the expansive outdoor areas offer exceptional flexibility and customization options.
- Benetti CLASS includes the 44-metre yacht designed by Cassetta Yacht Designers, the largest fibreglass model produced by the Shipyard.
- Benetti MOTOPANFILO (37M and 45M) recalls the Navetta style, merging timeless nautical tradition and contemporary elegance and ocean lifestyle.
- Benetti B.YOND (40M and 57M) is the Voyager category with a hybrid system and exceptional onboard liveability for both short and long voyages, made possible thanks to the steel hull that allows navigation with all sea conditions.
- Benetti OASIS is the brand's line that interprets a new lifestyle concept which enhances contact with the sea and the authenticity of a life on board lived with a dynamic and informal style. The two models currently available are Oasis 40M and Oasis 34M.
- Benetti B.NOW is a fleet of four models with lengths of 50, 60, 67 and 72 meters designed by UK-based design firm RWD, characterised by external lines with renewed geometries and a layout that can be customised to meet the precise requests and needs of owners.
- Benetti B.CENTURY includes four models of different lengths (55M, 62M, 68M, 75M), all custom yachts built from a common platform.
- Benetti CUSTOM includes yachts ranging from 48 to 100 meters, divided into two product classes: Mega and Giga. Made to measure, each yacht boasts excellent quality and craftsmanship. In July 2019, Benetti delivered FB275, its first 108-metre yacht, representing the longest vessel ever built by Benetti and the largest delivered in Italy by a private shipyard, as well as the third Giga yacht of over 100 metres to be launched by the Shipyard in just 100 days during the Benetti Giga Season.
In 2021 Benetti launched the innovative Oasis Deck® concept which has become a must-have on luxury yachts around the world. Oasis Deck®, designed in collaboration with British studio RWD, is the solution conceived for all yacht owners who desire an even closer contact with the sea, made possible by the side wings that open flush with the water and allow a 270-degree open view.
In 2023 Benetti and RWD announced a new milestone, the Veranda Deck®, the reinterpretation of the Main Deck lounge which opens the space completely on three sides, creating a continuous environment between the lounge and the stern.
