Benetti Unveils 116' Mediterraneo

New Benetti 116-foot 'Mediterraneo' Unveiled At Cannes Yachting Festival
​

On the third day of the ongoing Cannes Yachting Festival, Italian yacht manufacturer Benetti announced and unveiled the existence of a new model from their expansive portfolio. The new yacht is called the 116 Mediterraneo and the general concept for the yacht isn't a huge departure for Benetti but they certainly have updated the styling to the exterior design. Benetti's design for it has not stepped-away from their direction on squared windows on the new models and that facet can be seen incorporated here on the new 116 Mediterraneo.

Fabio Ermetto who is the Chief Commercial Officer of the Azimut-Benetti superyacht group said, “the 116' completes the Gamma Class range while at the same time introduces renewal and modernizing influences to the lines of a few of our most successful models.” Even though the new 116 Mediterraneo was just unveiled today, the CCO can confirm that contract has already been signed for the first unit in the series as well as a second is under construction -we assume being built on spec at this point-. The Mediterraneo is expected to be powered by dual MAN V12-1400 engines and with them the top speed is 15-knots. A range of 3,000 nautical miles is possible at trawl speeds. For guests, the Mediterraneo can accommodate for up to ten guests in her five guest cabins. The master is forward on the main deck utilizing the near full-height glass on both sides. The other cabins are on the lower deck and comprise of two VIP-category suites and two twins all with ensuite bathrooms. The 116 Mediterraneo represents a continued shift in re-styling from Benetti.
