The Challenge

Benetti’s digital presence needed to communicate both the scale and depth of its offering – from custom superyachts to its well-defined series builds. Structuring this range in a way that felt clear, navigable, and appropriately elevated posed a significant challenge.

At the same time, the website had to honour Benetti’s heritage while speaking to a global audience with modern expectations. The design and UX needed to feel timeless but current – reflecting legacy without leaning on nostalgia.

The Solution

The new site architecture was built around clarity and hierarchy – allowing users to easily distinguish between yacht categories, while maintaining a consistent brand experience across touchpoints. 

Visually, the interface balances restraint with refinement. Modern design choices were paired with subtle references to heritage, resulting in a digital expression that feels both confident and enduring – aligned with the brand’s position in the market.

The Website -
Mastering Simplicity

Benetti’s website stands out for its mastery of restraint. The main pages deliver only what’s necessary – enough to inform, enough to inspire – while leaving space for visitors to explore further at their own pace. This layered approach respects the user’s time, offering clarity up front and depth only when curiosity calls for it.

What makes this simplicity so effective is the quality of execution. Striking, high-resolution imagery is paired with refined typography and considered negative space, creating a visual rhythm that feels both confident and composed. It’s a design language that avoids excess, yet leaves a lasting impression – quietly reinforcing Benetti’s status through elegance, not volume.
