Benetti after-sales department: An after-sales department has been born at Benetti. The department will cater to their worldwide fleet of yachts in after-delivery works. The aim is to create a consistent atmosphere of quality management between design, build and operation of their brand luxury yachts. Afer-sales manager, Alessandro Gallifuoco confirms that "we will co-ordinate and supervise all warranty works executed on the yachts, whether in our boatyards, at our base in Ft Lauderdale, or through an established network of trusted suppliers worldwide." The process will be controlled from headquarters in Viareggio. The after-sales department operates in unison with the technical and production sectors in the various Benetti shipyards. The yards being in Viareggio, Livorno and Fano. This ensures that the information accumulated during the operation will contribute to the ongoing improvement of our luxury yachts. *** http://www.****************/news/page.php?page=48&langId=2 http://www.****************
The Benetti 50-meter "Alibella" seems to have been renamed to "Plantinum". I thought that Platinum was a new-build by Benetti though with build number FB238 according to the website. But the thing is that "Alibella" was built under that same number, so it is confusing. So she was simply renamed as Plantinum why does Benetti have it set out as if she is a new build?
Recieved this update from the factory this morning. On Wednesday November 25, 2009, Viareggio gave a warm welcome to the hull of the Delfino - the first model in the new Benetti Class product line, which will be launched in the summer of 2010. The Delfino is a large ship in a small format. With its dimensions, it is a unique vessel because it contains the design solutions, technical equipment, and practical, comfortable environments that are typical of larger ships with a greater volume. The innovative exterior look stylishly executed by Stefano Righini features large, continuous windows that enable the shipowner and his guests to enjoy breathtaking panoramas at numerous points overlooking the sea. The interior designed by the Galeazzi Studio is offered in both modern and classic decorative styles, with highly elegant details and furniture. The first ship in the series will be outfitted entirely at the Azimut-Benetti facilities in Viareggio.

A new contract for a 57.5-meter Benetti apparently has been recently signed through Ocean Independence. She will take the hull ID FB257 and have a design by Benetti and an interior by Evan K Marshall. Completion is expected in just under three years.
Benetti is currently working on finishing one of the next yachts to launch from their brand. She is to be called "Bistango" and measures 62-meters LOA. She is said to be nearng completion as she is expected to be available for Summer charter in the Med. Burgess
The Benetti "Quantum of Solace" (ex. "Midlandia") now has a white hull, replacing the dark blue she had originally.
Benetti Sail Division, has a brand new website using the same URL. You can check it out here... http://www.benettisaildivision.com/
It seems that Benetti will soon launch a new 46.55-meter yacht to be called "Illusion". She will charter this summer.
Benetti launches the "Imagination". This is the first yacht from their brand new 47-meter model line.
Another new contract has been made for Benetti, she is hull ID FB258. The new vessel is to be 54-meters long and be ready by 2012.
In the "Eclipse interior" thread that was just started, a link to a website has pictures of the interior of "Lady Lara" this is the first time I have seen pics of her interior. However, I do not think it would be wise to post a link to that website. After searching some more, there are a few other sites that have pictures but I still think I would not post a link to them because of the nature of those sites...
When is the new "Amnesia" (Amnesia IV) to launch? I know she is scheduled to launch in 2010 but when? Interestingly the current Amnesia (III) recently went up for sale, so maybe the new one could be delivering in a few months? Anyone else have any further accurate information regarding this build?

The Benetti 60-meter "Amnesia" was recently sold a few months ago as many of you know and interestingly she has now been acquired by Liveras Yachts. She has been renamed "Andreas L" obviously in memory of Mr. Liveras and to replace the also recently sold "Lauren L" from their fleet.
Benetti has a beautifully redone new-look website now. The URL remains the same. Really nice presentation there... If you had not have enough of "Bistango" lovely pics on the new builder's website...
