Charter club, news & events, azimut|benetti #1 in the world yachting industry.

THE COMPANY LED BY THE VITELLI FAMILY IS CONFIRMED AS THE WORLD’S LEADING YACHT MANUFACTURER, WITH A 14% SHARE OF THE WORLD MARKET, A 23% INCREASE IN PRODUCTION VALUE AND EBITDA UP BY 50%.

The Azimut|Benetti Group retains its position as the  world’s leading manufacturer of yachts over 24 meters , firmly securing its top spot in the Global Order Book edited by  Boat International  magazine. This book annually collects and analyzes data from 177 shipyards worldwide. The 2024 edition awards the Group first place for both the number of units under construction and the cumulative length of projects:  167 yachts  totaling  6014 meters,  representing 14% of the world market examined by Boat International.

These figures are corroborated by the Group’s  record results  for the financial year ending August 31st, 2023. Production value grew by over 23% compared to the previous year, and Ebitda increased by 50%. The Group’s resilience is further demonstrated by the consistent growth in production value, nearly doubling in the last five years— from 700 million to 1.3 billion euros —and  the order portfolio extending until 2027 . This success is a testament to the market’s preference for the Group’s stylistic and technological solutions, as well as its focus on fuel consumption and environmental impact.

These numbers, supported by excellent capital and financial solidity, enable the company to invest 150 million euros over the next three years. This commitment is accompanied by the Group’s dedication to research and development, specifically focusing on solutions to reduce environmental impact. Today, the Group proudly announces  leading results in the boating industry for lowering CO2 emissions . This includes the first-of-its-kind agreement in the sector for the use of  HVO biofuel . Encouraged by these results, the Group is actively promoting the development of a  public index to measure yacht efficiency , in collaboration with Lloyd’s Register and the Superyacht Eco Association.

The extraordinary longevity of the Shipyard’s leading position can be traced to the status of  private   family  company  of Azimut|Benetti Group, led by the Vitelli family together with two quality minority shareholders – PIF and TIP – who hold a stimulus and control function: since its foundation, the ownership has pursued a  coherent, resilient and sustainable business model , which is a long-term strategy focused on customer experience, constant product innovation and care for people. With the recent generational change –  President Giovanna Vitelli  taking the helm – the Group has undertaken a  path of evolution  that aims to further develop its managerial culture and governance, respecting the entrepreneurial DNA that continues to spur the success of the Company with rapid decision-making, a calibrated approach to growth and investments, and attention to the wellbeing of workers.

These traits translate into a strategic plan based on three pillars:  the evolution of the product in terms of design and sustainability, the development of services through the Lusben and Yachtique brands, and the nourishing of talent.

The product – Beauty, innovation and sustainability

The key contributor to the Group’s first place in the Global Order Book ranking is the success of the models by Azimut and Benetti: cutting-edge concepts that  anticipate owners’ desires and industry trends  time after time. The  creation of new lifestyles on board  and the  reduction of CO2 emissions and energy consumption  are the guiding principles of the Group’s product philosophy, both of which are reflected in the Azimut and Benetti yachts consistently with the values of the two brands.

Azimut  explores new frontiers in architecture, positioning itself as the design hub that enriches the yachting world with the creativity of  various contributors from different sectors.  The most recent collaboration with  Matteo Thun,  for instance, introduces a new conscious design concept that respects the interconnected relationship between people, yacht, and the environment.

Furthermore, the brand is a pioneer in the development of solutions to reduce emissions integrating  high-efficiency hulls , the extensive use of  carbon, and innovative propulsion systems . Today, over half of Azimut’s fleet is made up of  Low Emission Yachts , which guarantee a reduction in emissions of up to 30%. In the spring of 2024, the Shipyard will present its first hybrid Series and the most efficient ever built:  Seadeck .

Benetti reinvents the concept of iconic models  through collaborations with internationally renowned architects, such as Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, notable for their recent Pace Gallery project in New York. These collaborations aim to reinterpret classic design language, incorporating sophisticated influences from the realms of  architecture, fashion design, and art.  One of the most influential contemporary stylistic innovations introduced by Benetti is the  Oasis Deck®,  a true revolution in the concept of the beach area. For the first time, it transforms the aft deck into a sea oasis, providing an experience in close contact with nature.

Currently, the Shipyard offers almost its entire range with hybrid systems. The Benetti B.Yond has been recognized as the greenest model in its category, achieving a significant reduction in CO2 emissions (up to 24%) and NOx emissions (up to 85%). The next objective is to  further optimize consumption and emissions generated by onboard systems.  This issue is particularly relevant to larger boats, which spend approximately 90% of their time at anchor. Benetti has begun addressing this by developing solutions such as the  “Zero-Emission Hotel Mode,”  powered by fuel cells and advanced  power management  systems. These solutions include measures that can  reduce air conditioning energy consumption by up to 50%.

The results achieved by Azimut and Benetti demonstrate a commitment to implementing  green solutions on a broad scale,  not just on one-off prototype models. By combining future-oriented research with the implementation of the  best available and effective solutions today , the Group aims for the greatest possible impact in the short, medium, and long terms.

The Group’s activities are guided by its determination to lead the sector towards a more conscious and scientific approach to the topic of environmental sustainability, while promoting  greater transparency in communication . With this objective, Azimut, together with  Lloyd’s Register , one of the main classification bodies in the maritime sector, conducted a consumption and emissions certification plan in the summer of 2023, which led to the definition of an objective and comparable  Carbon Emission Index , which the  Superyacht Eco Association  used to extend the  SEA Index  to yachts under 24m, the most widespread category of yachts in our seas and the one involving the greatest number of owners, with the ambition of starting an unprecedented movement.

In 2023, the Group signed the first agreement in the sector with Eni Live for the replacement of all fossil fuels used by the Group for sea trials, tests, and prototype transfers with  HVO biodiesel . HVO biodiesel is a biofuel made from renewable raw materials*, allowing a  reduction in CO2 emissions by up to 90%  compared to the reference fossil mix, depending on the materials used for its production**. According to the agreement signed with Eni Live, the Group will purchase approximately  700,000 liters of HVO  starting this year, thereby preventing the release of up to 1,800 tons of CO2 into the environment. This reduction is equivalent to preventing the emissions from about 1,800 flights from Frankfurt to New York.

Finally, all the Group’s offices operate with the aim of reducing the environmental impact from all sources: the production sites will use  renewable sources  to cover approximately 50% of their energy requirements by 2026 and, with an eye to developing an  increasingly circular economy , projects have been initiated to  recover fiberglass, wood  and other residual material.

The services – Lusben and Yachtique

The strategic plan of the Azimut|Benetti Group envisions the further  development of the service hub  with the aim of supporting owners throughout their yachting experience. The Group confirms the growing  strategic role of Lusben and the refit activity  by investing  15 million euros  to expand the Lusben shipyard in Livorno. This facility, one of the brand’s three, alongside Varazze and Viareggio, will be equipped to host yachts over 100 meters in length, solidifying its position as one of the  three main players in the Mediterranean  for superyachts.

Following the same strategic logic,  Yachtique , the Group’s internal styling lounge created over twenty years ago to advise and accompany owners from their furnishing choices to the purchase of art and antiques, will also  expand its facilities in Tuscany  over the next three years.

Finally, the Group’s services division has recently been enriched with the  first nautical “Airbnb” proposal , which allows Azimut owners to  offer their yacht for charter  anywhere in the world on a digital platform developed by Azimut. Local dealers will handle the management of the boats, as well as check-in and check-out.

A school of talents

The leadership role that the Azimut|Benetti Group holds in the sector is closely connected to its commitment to supporting its 2,400 direct employees— a growth of +24% in the last 3 years —in their professional growth and training for roles in demand in the nautical sector. This commitment fosters employment in an industry that symbolizes Italian production and manufacturing excellence.

To address these goals, the Shipyard established the  Azimut|Benetti Group Corporate Academy , becoming the first in the nautical sector to approach training with a transversal and integrated model. This model includes the  Shipyard Academy —providing 144,000 hours of training per year—the  Executive Academy , and  Edu & Career Guidance  projects in collaboration with universities, high schools, and technical institutes. The internal  nautical  module, involving employees in a cruising experience on the Group’s yachts, brings the Group’s mission to life by making people experience, know and love the product:  to build the most beautiful, reliable, technological and innovative yacht and assist it always and everywhere.

* Pursuant to the Directive UE 2018/2001 “REDII”.

** According to the conventional criterion of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 “REDII”, the reduction in CO2eq emissions of the HVOlution along the logistics-production chain in 2022 was between 60% and 90%, compared to the mix reference fossil (i.e. 94g CO2eq/MJ), depending on the raw materials used for its production.

Founded in 1873

Founded by Lorenzo Benetti

Benetti is one of the oldest builders of luxury motoryachts in the world. Established by Lorenzo Benetti in 1873, the company began life building wooden boats used for local and international trade.

After the death of Lorenzo, his two sons Gino and Emilio took over the management of the boatyard. They changed its name to Fratelli Benetti and quickly built up a reputation that extended beyond the Mediterranean. After the Second World War, with the disappearance of commercial sailing vessels built from wood, Benetti changed direction and began producing pleasure craft made from steel. Then in the early 1960s the boatyard produced its first luxury mega yachts.

Since 1980 the fleet has included big motor yachts in the 30 to 60 meter range and beyond, not least the famous 86-meter ‘Nabila’.

In 1985 the Boatyard was acquired by the celebrated Turin-based boat builder Azimut Spa, which brought in new management and transformed Benetti into the modern, technologically advanced reality we know today: a forward-looking and innovative boatyard, but also one that proudly retains its traditional values of experience, skill and a passion for fine craftsmanship.

Lusben opens largest sailing yacht inspection pit in the Mediterranean

Azimut-Benetti refit and repair arm, Lusben , has welcomed a new inspection pit for canting keel sailing yachts of up to 70 metres at its facility in Livorno, Italy. 

Measuring 8.5 metres deep and 3.5 metres wide, the new workspace is the largest of its kind in the Mediterranean, requiring a total investment of €500,000. 

The space allows for all forms of maintenance operations to be performed on sailing yachts, such as painting or keel work. Alternatively, two concrete slabs can be placed on top of the pit so the area can be used to perform work on motor yachts. 

According to Lusben commercial director Gianni Paladino, the yard has already secured several maintenance bookings for the upcoming fall season. 

" This major investment in the Livorno site, following others completed in recent years, confirms the Group’s intention to expand the Lusben division and, in the coming years, consolidate its position as a benchmark for refit work in the Mediterranean," said Paladino. "Now we have the space, the technology and the people to achieve this important objective."

Alessio Centelli, the Livorno site manager, added: "It’s a remarkable project that confirms [Lusben's] credentials as a centre specialising in the world of sailing yachts as well.”

The addition of the inspection pit comes as part of Lusben's three-year "refit area upgrade programme", announced in 2023.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
