Benetti is introducing Artificial Intelligence into its production process, marking a major shift in how luxury yachts are built. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share How AI Is Transforming Yacht Production at Benetti Aziza | BASCO Team Jan 2, 2026 Benetti is introducing Artificial Intelligence into its production process, marking a major shift in how luxury yachts are built. The yacht industry is known for craftsmanship, precision, and detail. Now, it is stepping into a new era. Benetti is introducing Artificial Intelligence into its production process, marking a major shift in how luxury yachts are built. This is not about replacing tradition. It is about strengthening it. A Strategic Move Toward Smarter Production Benetti has partnered with the Quinn University Consortium to launch its first AI-driven production initiative. The project will begin at the Livorno shipyard by the end of the year and focuses on improving how work flows across the Custom Operations division. The first phase targets four core areas: Logistics Planning Production Engineering Safety These functions sit at the heart of yacht construction. Optimising them means faster processes, fewer errors, and more reliable outcomes. From Manual Processes to Data-Driven Decisions One of the biggest advantages of AI is its ability to handle complex data in real time. At Benetti, AI will support smarter planning, automate repetitive activities, and reduce the risk of human error in manual tasks. This shift allows teams to spend less time on routine processing and more time on high-value work that requires expertise and craftsmanship. The result is better decision-making, smoother operations, and higher overall quality. Building on Proven Innovation This new initiative builds on an earlier collaboration between Benetti and the Quinn Consortium. From 2022 to 2024, both teams worked on synchronising logistics through better supply chain integration. That project created a strong data foundation. It also revealed clear opportunities where AI could make a meaningful impact. The insights gathered during that phase are now being turned into practical solutions inside the shipyard. Practical AI Tools with Real Impact Several AI-based systems are already planned for implementation. One example is the automation of material booking and incoming delivery controls. This system aligns material arrivals with yacht production schedules and available warehouse space, reducing delays and inefficiencies. Another key development is a Three-Year Plan Simulator. This tool can process complex scenarios, test different production strategies, and support continuous improvement across key performance indicators. These are not experimental ideas. They are practical tools designed to improve daily operations. A Future-Ready Production Model For Benetti, AI is not just about efficiency. It is about long-term sustainability and resilience. By combining advanced technology with skilled people and refined processes, the company is building a production model that is flexible, scalable, and ready for future challenges. Innovation has always been part of Benetti’s DNA. This move confirms its commitment to leading the yacht industry into a smarter, more connected future, while preserving the excellence that defines the brand. Media Gallery ← Previous Next →

Did you know that low engine hours aren't the only factor to consider when assessing the condition of a used boat? In fact, inactivity can be more damaging to equipment than regular use. So, what should you focus on when buying a used boat? Discover the key factors that truly matter and avoid costly mistakes with our expert tips - Basco Boating News - Written by BASCO Team < Back Share Why Low Engine Hours on a Boat May Not Be a Good Thing? BASCO Team Apr 1, 2023 Did you know that low engine hours aren't the only factor to consider when assessing the condition of a used boat? In fact, inactivity can be more damaging to equipment than regular use. So, what should you focus on when buying a used boat? Discover the key factors that truly matter and avoid costly mistakes with our expert tips Did you know that the commonly accepted rule of thumb that maintenance costs for boats are around 10% of the purchase price is actually a huge overestimate? In reality, the cost of owning a boat encompasses a lot more than just maintenance, such as marina fees, registration fees, fuel, wages for the crew, and more. The cost of maintenance itself is only a small fraction of this 10%. Also, some people are naturally attracted to low engine hours. Low engine hours may seem like an attractive feature when buying a boat. After all, who wouldn't want a boat that appears to have barely been used? However, the truth is that low engine hours alone are not enough to determine a boat's condition. In fact, just like the human body, equipment needs regular use to maintain its health. A boat engine that hasn't been run regularly for two or three years may look good on paper, but in reality, it's likely to have significant problems. “ Inactivity can actually be more damaging to equipment than regular use.” So, what should you look for when assessing the condition of a used boat? It's more important to focus on regular maintenance and usage than simply looking at the number of hours on the engine. A well-maintained boat with higher engine hours is likely to be in better condition than a boat with low engine hours that has been sitting unused for long periods of time. Regular maintenance is key to keeping a boat in good condition. It's important to follow the maintenance schedule for your boat's systems and engine to ensure that everything is working properly. This will help ensure that your boat holds its value for longer. Remember! When it comes to assessing the condition of a used boat, the number of engine hours is just one factor to consider. It's more important to focus on regular maintenance and usage than simply looking at the number of hours on the engine. First-time boat owners are often excited to hit the water and enjoy their new boat. However, without proper planning and preparation, they can quickly find themselves facing costly mistakes. Here are some of the most common mistakes to avoid: Importance of Proper Boat Handling and Practice Inexperience with handling a boat, particularly during docking and coming in and out of marinas, can lead to costly issues. As a first-time boat owner, it is crucial to put emphasis on handling the boat properly from the beginning. You can buy a boat, but it is important to always have someone with experience to help teach you how to come in and out of the water safely. Even if you have certificates from courses, nothing beats practical experience with someone who knows what they are doing. Practice, practice, and practice some more until you feel confident enough to handle the boat on your own. Failure to do so can lead to expensive damages or even accidents. Navigation Preparation and Weather Awareness Navigation preparation is critical for safe and enjoyable boating. Make sure to plan your routes in advance and have alternate routes in case of unforeseen circumstances. You should also have a good understanding of the area where you plan to boat, including the locations of potential hazards, safe anchorages, and shelter areas. Additionally, never underestimate the importance of checking the weather forecast before heading out. Sudden changes in weather can lead to dangerous situations on the water. Keeping Up with Maintenance and Checks Using a boat in poor condition due to lack of maintenance can lead to costly mistakes. Maintenance, including regular checks of your boat's valves and systems, is critical to ensuring everything is in good working order. Neglecting basic maintenance can lead to problems when you least expect it, such as a valve failing in an emergency situation. It is crucial to invest time and resources into maintaining your boat to avoid costly repairs or accidents. Owning a boat is an exciting venture, but it also comes with a significant responsibility. First-time boat owners must take the time to learn how to handle their boat safely, prepare their navigation carefully, check the weather obsessively, respect the power of the sea, and maintain their boat regularly. By avoiding these costly mistakes, you can enjoy a safe and enjoyable boating experience for years to come. P.S. If you're new to boat ownership, the first step might be the hardest. You've heard all the horror stories about how first time boat buyers get stuck with a boat that costs way more than their investment budget allows for, or even worse—a boat that's not safe for them to use. But what if there was a better way? What if instead of having to read through confusing and conflicting information on boats, you could get answers straight from the source? What if instead of trying to find the right boat, you could actually know what kind of boat would be right for you? What if instead of guessing at how much it costs before buying a boat, you knew exactly how much it would cost and how long it would take? And what if there were no more dead ends or roadblocks in your way? Well, now there is! We'll show you how unlocking the secrets that help cut through the red tape that delays or prevents many first-time boat buyers from beginning a boating lifestyle.
