Inside Benetti: What Makes This Italian Builder’s Yachts So Sought-After
When it comes to legendary yacht builders, few names carry the weight and heritage of Benetti. With a history that dates back to 1873, this iconic Italian shipyard has become synonymous with timeless design, technological advancement and luxury. Today, Benetti stands at the intersection of tradition and innovation, an elegant powerhouse shaping the future of superyachting, one extraordinary vessel at a time.
Benetti is the oldest Italian shipyard dedicated to luxury yachts and one of the most respected names in the global industry. From its roots as a family-run yard building wooden boats, Benetti has evolved into a leader in the construction of custom and semi-custom superyachts, renowned for beautiful lines, cutting-edge engineering, and refined interiors.
With production facilities in Viareggio and Livorno, Benetti merges old-world craftsmanship with modern technology, delivering yachts that are as technically impressive as they are aesthetically stunning.
Design Without Compromise
Whether it’s the sleek profile of a fast-displacement hull or the classic elegance of a full-displacement model, Benetti yachts are built to turn heads. Working with top international designers and often drawing on its award-winning in-house team, Benetti ensures each project is meticulously styled, inside and out.
Proven Innovation
Benetti has never been afraid to push boundaries. The B.Now series, for example, redefines what modern superyachts can be with shorter delivery times, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and contemporary layouts that reflect how owners actually live onboard today. Meanwhile, the Oasis Deck concept has revolutionized the aft deck, blending beach club vibes with technical sophistication.
