We have worked to tightened contact with Rolls- Royce Marine with the objective to develop a system of propulsion of excellence for our new line of megayacht exclusive. The success of this collaboration is confirmed by the facts: five yachts already they are sold and others are already under construction to the aim to reduce the times of delivery and to tackle to the increasing asks for this model".
the contract which signed from Rolls-Royce and Benetti covers a series of systems, with delivery planned in the course of next the three years, with certification RINA.
