T he Azimut|Benetti Group adds another milestone to its already dominant position in the industry, being named “Most Active Global Yacht Group” at the Yacht Style Awards 2026, on the eve of the Singapore Yachting Festival.
More than a recognition of scale, the award points to something more structural: the Group’s consistent effort to build a global yachting community that extends beyond the product itself.
Beyond yachts, a network in motion
The distinction highlights a strategy that has become increasingly visible in recent years. Through initiatives such as Azimut’s regional and Asian Rendez-Vous, alongside Benetti’s broker roadshows and professional programmes like Yachtmaster for Captains, the Group has positioned itself as a connector within the industry.
It is a shift from simply delivering yachts to actively shaping the ecosystem around them, bringing together owners, brokers and professionals through continuous engagement.
Product excellence across both brands
Alongside the Group recognition, both Azimut and Benetti secured major individual awards, reinforcing their presence across different segments.
The Azimut Grande 30M “Crystal III” was awarded “Best Motoryacht 27–30 metres”, standing out for its approach to onboard living. Features such as the fully walkaround Upper Deck and the Deck2Deck™ Terrace, which opens the cockpit directly to the sea, reflect a design direction focused on fluidity and connection with the environment.
At the same time, Benetti’s “Lady Estey”, part of the B.Now 67M line with Oasis Deck®, was recognised as “Best Superyacht 60–80 metres”. The award underlines Benetti’s strength in the large yacht segment, where craftsmanship, scale and customisation remain central.
A position continuously reinforced
With 26 consecutive years at the top of the Global Order Book ranking, Azimut|Benetti’s leadership is already well established. What this latest recognition adds is a clearer picture of how that leadership is maintained, not only through production, but through sustained presence across the industry.
In a market where relationships, visibility and consistency increasingly matter, the Group’s approach seems less about isolated achievements and more about long-term positioning.
