One hundred and fifty years on since its founding in 1873, Benetti, the oldest Italian shipyard, continues to specialise in luxury yachts that are icons of timeless style and construction excellence. Every yacht unique and developed around its owner.
Benetti creates real works of art, like the historic 'Brigantino San Giorgio', housed alongside Leonardo da Vinci's drawings at the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan. Revolutionising the yachting world in the 1960s, Lorenzo Benetti switched from wood to steel construction, thus birthing the modern megayacht concept.
The Delfino, Gabbiano and Mediterraneo series were all iconic boats. They recalled legendary tales of the aristocracy and international jet set in the years of 'la dolce vita'. From Rainier of Monaco to David Bowie, who used to spend his holidays on his 'El Caran' with Mick Jagger, Robin Williams, and Michael Caine. The Beatles were often guests on board their manager's Delfino yacht.
