Broker Overview

The 2015 Benetti Classic 121, currently located in Imperia, Italy, represents a solid opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking a proven platform in the 35-40 meter superyacht segment. Benetti's Classic series is renowned for its robust fiberglass construction, delivering a comfortable and stable ride, especially in varied sea conditions. This particular vessel is powered by twin MTU 12V 2000 M72 engines, a reliable and efficient choice that provides a good balance of cruising speed and range, supported by dual Kohler generators for ample onboard power. The asking price of $10,317,265 for a 2015 build places it competitively within the current market for a yacht of this pedigree and size. With five well-appointed cabins, it offers excellent accommodation for owners and guests, making it suitable for both private use and potential charter operations. While a 2015 build, a thorough inspection will confirm its current condition and any necessary updates or maintenance. This is a yacht built for serious cruising with an emphasis on comfort and timeless design, not a high-speed planing hull. Its semi-displacement hull form ensures efficiency at cruising speeds, a significant factor for long-range itineraries.

Expert Review

The Benetti Classic 121 series is a well-established design, known for its strong fiberglass construction and comfortable semi-displacement hull. Owners can expect excellent sea-keeping capabilities, particularly at its economical cruising speeds, providing a stable platform even in moderate conditions. The build quality is consistently high, typical of Benetti, with robust systems and a focus on longevity. For the asking price, this 2015 model offers significant value in the superyacht market, especially when considering the cost of new construction today. During a survey, pay close attention to engine hours and service records for the MTUs and Kohler generators, as well as the condition of the teak decks and any potential osmosis on the hull, though fiberglass Benettis are generally well-built in this regard. Comparables might include certain models from Sanlorenzo or Custom Line, but the Benetti Classic maintains a distinct presence and reputation for reliability and comfort.
