Benetti has been a pioneer in the use of POD’s propulsion systems with a long history of hybrid installation. In 2006, 65M Ambrosia was the first diesel-electric megayacht with Azipod. Today, 107M Luminosity is the largest hybrid yacht and the B.Yond 37M is the first semi-custom yacht with hybrid propulsion. “We wanted to approach this topic by being realistic, pragmatic, to find a solution that can be applicable for the industry on a wide range of boats”.
