Description
Since 1973, Benetti has been producing yachts upwards of 85 feet in length, all over the world. Its boats have made history- like the famous and incredibly costly Nabila, ordered by the Arabian financier Adnan Khashoggi; a businessman known for his wealth and extravagant lifestyle, who commissioned it to be built in the late 1970s. The Nabila became the symbol of extreme luxury, to such an extent that it was used in the James Bond film Never Say Never Again. Today, the combination of skill and experience of a traditional shipyard, together with technological innovation on the leading edge, have made Benettti a world leader in the sphere of yacht building. This book tells the story of one of the world's largest and most hi-tech shipyards, able to face up to the challenges of the future and offer its customers yachts of supreme quality.
