Brokered through partnership with Northrop & Johnson, an international brokerage with offices in Europe, USA and Asia, the sale of the new six deck vessel proves that the popularity of the Benetti brand is continiung to spread throughout the American market.

In addition to the creative talents of Cassetta, the in house design team at Benetti have also had considerable input in to the end result of the FB278. Requirements from the new owner have all been met in as much detail as possible, including the request to furnish crew quarters with fabrics and materials of a similar quality to those used in guest accommodation.

This order, following on the heels of the North American delivery of Spectre and Elaldrea, custom yachts of 69 and 49 metres, is evidence of the American market’s growing interest in the Benetti brand. Benetti yachts have become the embodiment of high-quality Italian craftsmanship.
