Owner Experience Review
Owners who approach the Mediterraneo 116fromBenettias a family play palace tend to highlight the generous social areas and natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows on the main deck and an approximately 80 m² sundeck make hosting effortless, while typical layouts include a full-beam main-deck master, multiple guest cabins for up to 12, and separate crew spaces for about six. Several hulls add an elevator and a large foredeck lounge, and a draft around 7 ft 1 in keeps Bahamas-style itineraries practical.
On the water, its full-displacement GRP hull with a carbon superstructure is tuned for comfortable, long-range passages rather than high-speed runs. Owners and press describe an accessible, owner-friendly helm feel (with an upper-level helm on some builds), and performance aligns with expectations: economical running around 10 knots yields roughly 3,000–3,200 nautical miles of range, with a comfortable 12–14-knot cruise and about 15 knots at the top from twin MAN V12 1,400 hp engines.
From a stewardship standpoint, budgeting for manufacturer-level MAN service is prudent, and heavily optioned boats — zero-speed stabilizers, a bow pool, beach-club conversions and other upgrades that can add several million euros — increase complexity and ongoing upkeep. Forum commentary on Benettibuild attention makes an owner’s representative, thorough survey, and commissioning time advisable, while professionally crew-maintained examples are often presented with low hours and recent RINA class renewals. Resale and charter market activity appears steady across 2016–2021 hulls.
Pros and Cons
- Long-range capability of roughly 3,000–3,200 nautical miles at about 10 knots supports ocean passages.
- Expansive social areas and natural light, including floor-to-ceiling windows and an approximately 80 m² sundeck, suit family cruising.
- Shallow draft around 7 ft 1 in makes Bahamas-style, skinny-water itineraries feasible.
- Twin MAN V12 1,400 hp engines require manufacturer-level servicing and parts budgets typical of large MAN installations.
- High-spec options such as zero-speed stabilizers, a bow pool, and beach-club conversions increase complexity and ongoing upkeep.
- Forum feedback on Benettibuild attention makes a dedicated owner’s rep, thorough survey, and commissioning time advisable.
