As the sun set over a calming Port Hercule last year on the Thursday of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2022">2022 Monaco Yacht Show</a>, the energy was electric slightly further up the hill in the frescoed grand hall of the Hôtel Hermitage. The evening belonged to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> and the excitement was palpable; the Italian luxury yacht builder had teased that it’ll reveal an all-new model line, and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> B.Century family didn’t disappoint. Six months on and the builder has even more to share. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266289/image/large-20a9ab773936234c6033d42bd75478bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266289">The B.Century family, comprising five models with an LOA ranging from 55-metres to 75-metres .has been designed by Giorgio M. Cassetta, who also designed for the shipyard the multi-awarded 63m Metis (recently renamed <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5920" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artisan63.0m (206'8&quot;)Benetti SpA2019">Artisan</a>,) the 67m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8735" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Calex67.0m (219'10&quot;)Benetti SpA2022">Calex</a>, 69m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5993" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Spectre69.2m (227'0&quot;)Benetti SpA2018">Spectre</a>, 65m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7935" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Triumph65.4m (214'7&quot;)Benetti SpA2021">Triumph</a>, 108m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5856" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luminosity107.6m (353'0&quot;)Benetti SpA2020">Luminosity</a>, to name but a few. “To understand the family it’s best to cast our minds back to 2019 and the delivery of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5920" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artisan63.0m (206'8&quot;)Benetti SpA2019">Artisan</a>,” Cassetta explained. “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5920" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artisan63.0m (206'8&quot;)Benetti SpA2019">Artisan</a> has what I like to define as a timeless design; she’s unmistakably a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> but at the same time we wanted to unclutter her styling.” Her success is well documented, winning award after award, and her platform replicated for five further deliveries, the most recent being the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8735" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Calex67.0m (219'10&quot;)Benetti SpA2022">Calex</a> which hit the water earlier this year. But she’s also the bedrock for the B.Century family.&nbsp;From the design of one yacht – <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5920" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artisan63.0m (206'8&quot;)Benetti SpA2019">Artisan</a> – <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> sold six yachts between 63-metres to 67-metres in a period that was far from the post-covid frenzy. To sell a 60-metre yacht in 2017 was quite something, let alone six of them in quick succession. “The family is the most successful line ever in the size range to be presented by a shipyard,” Cassetta confirmed. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266295/image/large-5301f19804a51468d66a8f77a6d621b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266295">As bedrocks go, you don’t get much sounder. The B.Century family further refines its predecessors: embodying the core philosophical principles cemented by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5920" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artisan63.0m (206'8&quot;)Benetti SpA2019">Artisan</a>, yet emboldened with soft, sculpted styling that gives the family a more organic look and feel. “To create a unique character for the B.Century family we drew each model with clean profile lines that encapsulate the undulating ‘wave’ typical to a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a>superyacht with visual purity,” Cassetta explained. “What we did with this family in terms of styling is really something that will set a benchmark for some time in this size range. It’s easy to do a sporty, a dynamic or a simplistic design, but at the same time adding this level of functionality is something unrivalled.”&nbsp;Take the 75-metre model – the flagship from the family – we can clearly see this wave running from the bow across the main deck forward, gathering at the superstructure and then gently cascading aft. From this simple line, Cassetta and his team got to work, stretching the design across six decks with deft precision to create a Janis-faced harmony that blends tradition and modernity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266296/image/large-01afc09b0502407399c2801cc5d16530.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266296">&nbsp;“More often than not, our clients are looking for better contact with the surrounding environment and a more informal experience,” Cassetta said. “To cater to these needs we’ve used more glass on the whole family than ever before and ensured that all areas are well connected – walkarounds on every deck is a good example of this. People like to be onboard spending time with family and close friends, so it's less important to create private sanctuaries. It's more important to allow a good flow and circulation of people.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266297/image/large-876f493a6bf8bb28621a16d018342546.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266297">With socialisation held high as the design lodestar for the family, great focus was paid to the beach accommodation: a two-level aft area that combines the pool and sea club. The sea club is partially covered by the overhanging main deck, and the shaded area is home to a nest of seats and a casual dining area, leaving room for the glass-walled swimming pool out in the open and positioned to offer guests undisturbed views. Two stairwells wrap the pool and lead directly to the sea club that, thanks to hydraulic wings, expands to 250 square-metres.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266294/image/large-4c4ab530a630434ccbf5386248d167e4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266294"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266293/image/large-50b472d06358db0b3835ab8a20029b3a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266293">The 75-metre model is presented with accommodation for 12 guests and 25 crew, so having strong circulation and easy flow is also incredibly beneficial for those working onboard. “A great deal of time was also spent mapping out the service areas, to maximise the quality of life for both guests and crew,” Cassetta noted. “However, while accessibility and social areas play a major role in the DNA of this family, we haven’t sacrificed the privacy of the owner. As typical with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a>, the foredeck is reserved exclusively for their use, and for the B.Century we incorporated a loft seat: a seating area that’s tucked away at the very end of the bow which offers a private area where you can really enjoy navigation in a way that’s more reminiscent of sailing yachts.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266287/image/large-55dcd29aa3dc6da34fe4adc95c72732b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266287"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266288/image/large-b7d891f27d1114b8cf9a1dec6847b5c5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266288"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266291/image/large-496bb1d53aceb4f7ba865f7e05aea277.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266291">The B.Century family is a true labour of love and Casetta and his team have spent close to two years refining the model run. “The amount of hours spent on this project is incomparable to anything that we’ve done in the past; we’re talking about thousands, if not tens of thousands of hours spent on design,” Cassetta explained. But there’s no denying that these hours have paid off, as in a matter of months since unveiling the line, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> has been having serious conversations with a number of clients. B.Century 1.0 took us by storm, but B.Century 2.0 is set to be revolutionary.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266290/image/large-3aa94a5195e2d200f2d66e3b82154367.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266290">

Giorgio Cassetta on the organic evolution of the Benetti B.Century family

Built by the German <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> shipyard, the motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ahpo115.1m (377'7&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2021">Ahpo</a> extends over a total length of 115-metres. It’s not just her size, but most of all her stylish exterior and interior design that impress yacht lovers and make this superyacht an exclusive dream home on the high seas. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List General Contractor (List GC)</a> was commissioned with the project management of the interior fittings on four decks and a total of 745 m² and furnished the yacht with handcrafted special surfaces and exclusive fittings. In completing this project, the company from Bad Erlach in southern Lower Austria once again highlights its long-standing position as international market leader for highly complex interior and furnishings for luxury yachts and private residences.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/257499/image/large-66f1956ec62dea47ca85e77a05b1291e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/257499">The largest and most famous yachts in the world already bear the signature of the specialists from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> – and now <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ahpo115.1m (377'7&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2021">Ahpo</a> is no exception. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> development area on the main deck, consisting of the saloon, dining room, wine storage and board room, covers almost 290 m2. The owner’s deck is equipped with an informal lounge and the sky lounge deck with a fitness room. The yacht’s pièce de résistance, the spacious spa area, is located on the lower deck of the ship.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231030/image/large-cc9e4a8699ad566f2eca0c5f47ef2672.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231030">Complex down to the smallest detailExclusive furniture, special surfaces and metal elements – the execution plans of a yacht interior include every detail, no matter how small. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>’s strength lies not only in its understanding of design, but also in its complete project management. We coordinate countless surveying and elaborate feedback and approval processes with the shipyard, design studio and subcontractors, including quality controls, until the assembly process on the yacht, which is accurate to the millimetre, can begin. This was also the case with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ahpo115.1m (377'7&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2021">Ahpo</a>, which was handed over to the owner in 2021. Herwig Schmallegger, Senior Coordinator Project Management at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>, made sure that the project ran without a hitch. “In terms of construction, the project was an extremely small-scale and precise job. There was a huge number of components and countless special requirements and designs: communication on an equal footing and tact were our ingredients for success on this project.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231029/image/large-cdcd9e34e92e615086b6c73b5a2093be.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231029">Managing the expectations of the various project partners is also crucial. “The more the designers, owners, shipyard and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> team are on the same wavelength, the better things will go. And things couldn't have gone better on the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ahpo115.1m (377'7&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2021">Ahpo</a> project,” adds Schmallegger. From the design idea to the exclusive special surfaceThe stylish mother-of-pearl 3D varnish finish by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> is one of the highlights: it adorns the walls and parts of the ceiling of the Spa area and the Informal Lounge. The handmade special surfaces designed especially for the project make the yacht one-of-a-kind. In collaboration with the top-class design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a>, the surfaces were perfectly matched to the customer’s wishes. Details specified by the design team, in the form of samples or visualisations, had to be created and recreated in detail – for example, from a 10 x 10 cm reference sample to an entire wall with a total area of 200 m². The sampling process continued for several months and required a high degree of creativity and craftsmanship.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266648/image/large-441f1005e534e430d688b5ed348cee0b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266648">An essential step here was to ensure that the surfaces were not only visually appealing but also hard-wearing. A common approach is therefore to test in advance how the surfaces will develop over a longer period of time. This is done by exposing the samples to extreme temperatures from -20 degrees to +40 degrees for two weeks – simulating what the ageing process over several years would look like. “When developing the special surfaces, we benefited greatly from our experience working on past superyacht projects. We knew exactly how to integrate all the processes into the tight schedule – and which steps required a particularly close eye or even sensitivity at times,” says Christof Hack, Engineer at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/257557/image/large-d57b1dd69bb45706d173f04eb1e48b1a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/257557">A marriage between elegance and safetyAnother highlight in the spa area besides the mother-of-pearl surfaces is the teak ceiling in leaf form, consisting of three large and two small leaves. A single one of these leaves has a dimension of five to six metres with seven to eight segments each, separated by curved joints.Karl Lechner, Team Coordinator Production at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>, on the production of the teak ceiling: “The work processes of the project were practically mirrored. The material was worked on the floor, but ultimately applied to the ceiling of the yacht. This requires a high degree of spatial thinking and extreme accuracy. The size of the individual sheets also presented us with challenges in terms of space. Every single step had to be weighed in the mind beforehand. When you see the result and everything works perfectly together, you get an unparalleled sense of achievement every time!”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/257556/image/large-97d94e7e5fa43d471b3c25af4566c89a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/257556">Team spirit as the highest assetThis is just one of the projects that the specialists in southern Lower Austria are working on with dedication and passion. Projects of this magnitude are only possible thanks to perfect interaction between the cross-divisional teams. At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>, the roles and areas of work are as diverse as the yachts that are furnished. Every project presents new challenges and variety, which is a great motivator in the company.
