From the imagined to the tangible, Benetti presents an inimitable reverie that has been able to charm the celebrity elite worldwide. The portrait of Prince Rainier III with Grace Kelly on the Benetti Gabbiano in the bay of Monte Carlo remains iconic. Not forgetting the notes of Queen’s song titled Khashoggi’s Ship, voicing Freddy Mercury’s experience on board M/Y Nabila, the most famous yacht of her time.
The origin of the Benetti shipyard dates back to the foundation of two of the most ancient Italian shipyards: the one of Fratelli Benetti founded in Viareggio in 1873 and the Fratelli Orlando shipyard founded in Livorno in 1866. View the nostalgic gallery at https://www.benettiyachts.it/heritage/
Pioneering technology, important design collaborations, highest quality standards, and iconic elegance, became Benetti’s trademark; helping the shipyard to maintain its past, present, and future leadership. Above all, Benetti has always embraced new challenges.
Thanks to its courageous attitude, Benetti became the only family-owned shipyard that launched 3 Gigayachts in 100 days. Moreover, the Shipyard adopted the utmost sophisticated technology for silent engineering to avoid noise to the marine environment and allow fewer emissions converting yachts to sustainable units. Currently developing the infrastructure in Livorno to berth the new Giga beauties makes us wonder what challenge will come next?
