The hull of Benetti’s Custom 80 (FB291) has arrived in the shipyard’s Livorno site. With the main structures completed, the 80m superyacht has now entered the outfitting phase in Livorno, the Azimut|Benetti Group’s hub for large steel builds, ahead of the yacht’s launch scheduled for 2028.

Both the interiors and exteriors of the six-deck yacht were designed by Cassetta Yacht Designers to accommodate the owner’s specific requests.

Benetti has described the project as one of its “most strategically important projects”, stating: “The realisation of this unique Custom 80M epitomises Benetti’s engineering and construction approach. The project highlights the shipyard’s ability to translate complex requirements into highly customised naval solutions, combining design flexibility and superior manufacturing capabilities.

“The yacht demonstrates the efficiency of the production chain and the synergy between the Group’s various sites. In this operating model, the Livorno shipyard confirms its position as a key industrial asset, structured to manage the outfitting of highly complex vessels and consolidate the brand’s positioning in the custom megayacht segment.”

Benetti designs, builds and sells composite vessels from 34-44m across its Class, Motopanfilo, Oasis, B.Yond, B.Neos ranges, plus superyachts in steel and aluminium from 37m to more than 100m under the B.Now, B.Loft and Custom lines.
