The builder

A century and a half of Italian superyachts.

Benetti is one of the oldest and most respected names in yachting. Founded in Viareggio in 1873, the Italian yard has been building superyachts for six generations, blending timeless style with the scale to construct giga-yachts of over 100 metres.

Part of the Azimut-Benetti group, the world's largest private yachting group, Benetti offers everything from refined displacement yachts around 30 metres to fully custom flagships, all carrying the same Italian elegance.

Heritage

Since 1873, an Italian legend

Few yards can claim Benetti's history. From classic wooden vessels to the steel and aluminium giants of today, the Viareggio yard has shaped Italian yachting for more than 150 years.

That heritage, combined with the industrial strength of the Azimut-Benetti group, lets Benetti build across an exceptional range, from elegant semi-custom yachts to record-setting custom giga-yachts.
