Iconic Italian Shipyard Benetti Revels in the Launch of the Show-stopping Class 44M Superyacht ‘Fortitude1’

Italy’s premier shipyard, Benetti, has once again proven its supremacy in the yachting world with the launch of Fortitude1, the newest addition to their prestigious Class 44M series. This 44.1-meter fiberglass model is expected to make a grand delivery to her owner, a longstanding Benetti patron, this summer.

Renowned Italian studio Giorgio M. Cassetta has left his artistic imprint both inside and outside the yacht. The exterior design cleverly reinterprets the classic features of the Class series. Custom elements enhance its allure, including an expansive forward sunpad on the upper deck. Fortitude1 follows the legacy of the first unit, Juno’s 7, which made its grand debut earlier this year.

The four-deck yacht encompasses accommodation for an intimate gathering of 12 guests spanning across six exquisite cabins, one of which includes a full-beam master suite. Low-profile bulwarks allow an uninterrupted view of the waters from the comfortable lounge on the main deck while the upper deck features a dining table seating ten.

Accompanying impressive aesthetics, Fortitude1 doesn’t falter in functionality. A clever layout, generous storage, and a cruising range of 4,100 nautical miles, make it an ideal vessel for long-range voyages.

Benetti, with a solid name equated to heritage, quality, and innovation, has consistently rewarded the unwavering faith that its clients place in them. This level of customer faith brings great pride, says Daniela Petrozzi, sales director at Benetti.

Notably, this launch comes during a period bustling with activity at Benetti, amidst the recent announcement of the 49.9-meter XWave and an astonishing 53 underway superyacht projects.
