Benetti
Viareggio-founded builder owned by the Vitelli family's Azimut|Benetti Group since 1984, building steel/aluminium custom and semi-custom yachts with the large hulls done at Livorno. Livorno has delivered three hulls above 100 m (2019–2020). Refit is handled by sister company Lusben, whose Livorno yard has an 18,000 t floating dock and giga-yacht dry berths.
