Throughout the 20th century, Benetti developed into a fashionable, boutique shipyard for celebrities and society-goers alike. Benetti yachts were often seen anchored proudly in the bay of Monaco, and other fashionable hotspots, showcasing the style and elegance of this Italian shipyard. In 1961, Benetti gained further fame by switching its materials from wood to steel, and effectively inventing the modern luxury motor yacht.
The Benetti Story

The Benetti Story

The Livorno shipyard originally launched huge battleships such as VARESE when the launch of this vessel was filmed in 1896, the yard became the location of one of the earliest pieces of cinema history.
