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.

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?

The Benetti Classic 120 "Allegro" has been sold. She was asking just over 12 and a half million USD

Benetti introduces the Tradition 105...

One of a kind. Its compact dimensions and well-designed layout enclose the design solutions, technical equipment and practical, comfortable spaces typical of larger yachts. Tradition 105' features three and a half decks, but the sun deck is so large and practical that it can guarantee the same comfort as a whole deck. Thanks to the excellent interior layout and its 31 metres of length, guests can enjoy spacious living areas, like in the main deck where the dining area is separated from the living space.

Great comfort even in the belowdeck, where four large guest cabins, two VIPs and two double rooms are arranged towards the yacht centre, along with practical crew paths optimised to meet working demands. The crew area has been just as well designed, perfectly comfortable for the five crew members.

Tradition 105' boasts a shipowner's cabin typical of larger models, a real suite with a spacious dressing room, bathroom with bathtub, shower and separate toilet. The sun deck is totally dedicated to pure relaxation and sunbathing throughout the whole deck width. Also featuring a jacuzzi swimming pool with a private area facing directly to the bow. Benetti elegance is confirmed by the exterior design renewed by Stefano Righini and marked by large, continuous windows, with extended openings on the hull too.

The shipowner and his guests can enjoy beautiful panoramic views thanks to a number of locations facing out over the sea. The interior decor has been designed by François Zuretti in two different versions: 'Classica' or 'Moderna', using new styles and original models to create elegant, refined environments involving interesting plays of natural light.

Tradition 105' has excellent sailing features, and thanks to the reduced draught, it is possible to navigate into more protected marine areas, granting the most relaxing sail possible here too.

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.

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?
