Benetti Sail Division represented a distinct chapter in Benetti’s long shipbuilding history, emerging as a specialized arm dedicated to the construction of large custom sailing yachts. Operating from Viareggio, Italy, the division extended Benetti’s engineering capabilities beyond motor yachts, applying the same construction discipline to wind-powered projects during a period when demand for sailing superyachts was gaining momentum.

Rather than pursuing volume or repeat platforms, Benetti Sail Division focused exclusively on bespoke builds. Each project was developed around an owner’s brief, with naval architecture, sail plans, and onboard arrangements tailored from the keel up. This approach placed the division firmly in the fully custom segment, appealing to experienced owners seeking individuality and long-range sailing capability supported by proven shipyard infrastructure.

While the division is no longer active today, its work remains part of Benetti’s broader legacy of technical versatility. For owners and enthusiasts, Benetti Sail Division stands as evidence of the shipyard’s ability to adapt its construction expertise across disciplines, without compromising structural integrity, onboard comfort, or build quality.
