Benetti Yachts  - For Hire (The Newest and Largest Yachts) 

Benetti Yachts - The Story

In the international luxury auto industry, one country is synonymous with trendsetting fashion and style:  Italy.  Ferrari...Maserati...Lamborghini...  The mere mention of these names evokes images of automobiles designed with sleek exteriors and sophisticated interiors.

The same Italian tradition of excellence and sophistication rings true in the world of yachting: Benetti Yachts. 

The Benetti Shipyard is one of the oldest yacht building yards in the world. Founded by Lorenzo Benetti in 1873 the was directed after his death by his sons Gino and Emilio.  They renamed the yard Fratelli Benetti and soon gained recognition outside the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

In the early 1980’s Azimut SpA took over the yard’s management under the name, Azimut Benetti Group.  For the past six years, Benetti Yachts has been the largest shipyard in the world in terms of production.

Today, Benetti builds elegant, stylistic yachts from three shipyards in Italy -  Viareggio, Fano and Leghorn.  Composite motor yachts are offered from 93′ to 164′ while fully custom steel and aluminum motor yachts start at 47 meters.

There have been dozens of high-quality Benetti yachts produced over the years and accordingly there are a large number of Benetti yacht charter vessels available for hire.

A famed Hollywood filmmaker has bested an equally famous celebrity explorer as well as an underdog submariner in a race to be the first explorer of the ocean deadliest trench in half a century.

James Cameron plunged about seven miles to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific ocean, where temperatures near freezing and the bone-crushing pressure is one thousand times greater than that at sea level.

In January, we profiled the epic attempt by three teams of modern-day explorers to reach the ocean's deepest point - the first attempt in over 50 years. 

Cameron, the director of Avatar, Titanic and The Abyss, was up against British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson, owner of the 32 meter (111 foot) luxury yacht charter vessel NECKER BELLE.  The third team was headed by Patrick Lahey.  Lahey and his team, Triton Submarines, were heavy underdogs to their wealthy competitors.

Speaking after the dive, Cameron described the ocean bottom as a "completely alien world" - similar to the surface of the moon.  It was a "very lunar, very desolate place. Very isolated," Cameron said.

The idea of a Persian Gulf yacht charter grew a lot more intriguing today, as one of the world's richest sports teams announced plans to build on its enormous following.

At a presentation on Thursday, Real Madrid soccer club President Florentino Perez unveiled Real Madrid Resort Island - a holiday resort on an artificial island in the United Arab Emirates, scheduled to open in January 2015.

The resort will feature multiple sports facilities, a superyacht marina, luxury hotels, a soccer-themed amusement park, club museum, and a 10,000-seat stadium with one side open to the Persian Gulf.

"It is a decisive and strategic step that will strengthen our institution in the Middle East and Asia," said Perez.

Jana Sheeder, President of SailAway Yacht Charters believes this new resort will strengthen the Middle East's burgeoning yacht market.   "In just three years, we've witnessed the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show blossom into a world-class showing of  megayachts for sale and charter,"  says Sheeder. 

"More and more Mediterranean yacht charter vessels are migrating to the Middle East to take part in premier boat shows, both in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as well as other special events like Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.  The introduction of a new megayacht complex at Real Madrid Resort Island will further bolster this emerging charter destination."
