Benetti News

Wow Benetti just announced that they signed two 100m+ yachts! I think their max. capacity at their Livorno shipyard is 110m..at least that is the max. length of the sheds.

They are expanding the sheds for these orders and interest in new orders.

really encouraging news for the industry..

Actually they build a new shed for one of the 100m projects and for potential projects of this size in the future.

They have launched their 62m FB264.

Ocean Paradise is for sale asking €29,950,000.

Engelberg was also built in 2013 and she's for sale as well. Doesn't seem too out of the ordinary.

Well, some go up for sale because of owners changing their minds or their situations changing. Then there are some people who buy, put up for charter, and put a sale price on it the moment it's finished. At the peak, up to 2008-9, there were some who made lots of money that way, selling for more than they paid. But with most it's the "what would it take to get you to sell price." I see the same thing on homes in our area. The most expensive homes for sale in Fort Lauderdale when on the market when they were finished. But no buyers at their asking prices.

This practice really built Trinity, but then when the market fell, it killed them, because they'd guaranteed a sale.

I just realized that the 2003 built "Altitude" is now called "Cakewalk" and now already for sale asking 29,500,000$! Looks like the former owner of the 85m Cakewalk, now called "Aquila" conducted some down-sizing..

Actually the lower windows are pictured that large in other places as well so the trend of bigger and bigger ports continues with the advances in glass.
