SAN GENNARO – BENETTI 29 TUGBOAT, 1964

San Gennaro is a beautifully restored 29-metre Benetti tugboat, originally launched in 1964 and transformed into a sophisticated private yacht. Featuring a striking black hull and military green superstructure, the yacht combines classic maritime charm with modern comfort and performance. The decks are finished in teak and Sinteak, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere across all levels.

The yacht is designed for comfort and convenience, with air conditioning (144,000 BTU), a bow thruster, two 40 kW generators, watermakers, electric mooring winches, hydraulic crane, and a retractable hydraulic gangway. Entertainment and safety are fully covered, with satellite antennas, Hi-Fi system with external speakers, TVs in the saloon and owner’s cabin, video cameras, fire extinguishing system, and EPIRB.

San Gennaro’s mechanical heart is a fully maintained MAN 1,050 HP diesel engine. Recent upgrades include the overhaul of the ducted propeller and propeller shaft (2024), bow thruster engine service, external bow restoration, and new heat exchanger (2023). Additional features include ice maker, dishwasher, washing machine, multiple refrigerators, retractable saloon TV, flybridge and cockpit fridges, and a hydraulic bimini top. VAT included.
