“The South American market is increasingly receptive and vibrant”
In terms of South America, Benetti reports that “the market is increasingly receptive and vibrant”. They said: “In Mexico and Brazil, after years of consolidated interest in the world of luxury yachts, clients are knowledgeable and discerning in evaluating capabilities, dependability and post-sales service.

Benetti have had a strong presence at American boat shows this year. They showcased the Classic 121′ Nomadess at the Panama Boat Show in May and brought the Veloce 140′ Cheers 46 and the Benetti Delfino 93′ Ocean Drive to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show this week.
