It has been a very busy start of the year at the leading shipyards with quite a few significant superyacht launches. Ranging between 67m and 100m+ these stunning luxury vessels have already turned heads at the largest ports:

Benetti FB275 – 108m

The largest superyacht launched in 2019 so far is the 108m luxury motor yacht FB272 built by Benetti. Her elegant exterior profile is by RWD and the contemporary interior is by Benetti’s in-house team. As usual with yachts of over 100 metres, lots of details still remain undisclosed.

Benetti FB272 – 105m

Benetti FB272 is a 105-metre giga yacht built by the Italian shipyard featuring design ideas suggested by her experienced owner. Her unique design profile was created by Azure Naval Architects and refined by Giorgio M Cassetta. Very few details about the interior design are available at this stage, however, the shipyard released information about the team of talented designers who were involved in the build: they were Reymond Langton Design and Zaniz Jakubowski of Zaniz Interiors.
