The marque
Benetti was founded in 1873 in Viareggio, Italy — one of the world's oldest yacht builders: 'Caring for beauty since 1873.'
01 — Fitment notes
Yachts over 30 metres typically carry a five-metre-class guest tender — and frequently a second, lighter boat for crew errands. The Benetti Mediterraneo 116 at 35.5 metres sits squarely in that world.
Here is how the fleet ranks for a yacht of this size.
02 — The Surmarine Selection
Hand-built in Turin.
The full Surmarine line — Super Tenders, the Easy open tenders and the featherweight Light Tenders — from the atelier that has built them by hand since 1999.
