Benetti Class 44M Motor Yacht
About Benetti Class 44M
Delivery of the Benetti Class 44M is set for 2028, and she carries the mark of the yard's own materials research: finishes chosen through careful testing, aimed at refined interiors and a lighter environmental footprint. At 44 metres and 471 gross tonnes, with a 9.2-metre beam, she has real volume to work with. The yard has planned her spaces around owners who stay aboard for long stretches, not guests passing through for a week.
Build and provenance
She is built in fibreglass, a material Benetti selected for the Class 44M alongside careful research into materials and finishes. She is still in build in Italy, due for delivery in 2028, so a buyer signs onto a specification and a delivery date rather than a completed vessel with a survey history behind it.
Layout and accommodation
Ten guests sleep across five cabins, room the yard has planned so a full complement of guests can stay aboard for long periods without the space feeling used up. A 9.2-metre beam gives the layout width to work with, and a 2.3-metre draught keeps her drawing less water at anchor, useful for sitting closer to shore.
Performance and engineering
Two MAN V12 engines, each rated at 1,400 hp, give her a top speed of 15 knots. That is a modest figure for a hull built to the displacement style: steady, comfortable running rather than outright pace is the point of the engineering.
Where she lies and how to see her
The Benetti Class 44M is building in Italy, with delivery due in 2028. Boatcrowd represents the sale and will arrange a viewing once she is ready, attending it with any buyer who wants one; survey and sea trial follow once an offer is accepted.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
