Benetti launches the Class 44M, a semi-custom format with a clear, minimalist design by Giorgio M. Cassetta, who also worked on the interior.

According to the shipyard, the 44 x 9 metres - the current flagship of the Class line after the Motopanfilo 37M and the largest GRP yacht in the Benetti portfolio - is aimed at experienced owners who value innovative materials and natural surfaces above all. For example, FSC-certified wood from forests that are managed according to strict environmental standards is used. Lots of glass and transparent surfaces also break down the barriers between the interior and exterior spaces and allow plenty of light to flow into the interior of the 340-tonne vessel.

Benetti Class 44M comes with a pool on the foredeck

Another focus was on reducing noise and vibrations when travelling and at anchor. The leisure facilities on board include a pool on the large foredeck with seating and sun loungers. The sun deck offers 102 square metres of space, which can of course be used flexibly. The first unit of the Benetti Class 44M was sold through Northrop & Johnson and was developed with a six-suite layout for twelve guests. At 11 knots and full tanks, the range is 4100 nautical miles. The delivery date is set for February 2025 in the Italian shipyard's calendar.
