Lusben, the Refit Division of the Azimut|Benetti Group, celebrates the relaunch of M/Y Alfa, an extraordinary 70-metre full custom superyacht built by Benetti in 2020.
Entrusted to Lusben and coordinated by Ocean Independence as brokerage partner, with interiors by Mark Berryman Design, the project covered all key areas of yacht refitting—from painting and systems engineering to the complete redesign of living spaces and furnishings, giving Alfa a renewed, contemporary spirit.
“The work on M/Y Alfa has been a source of great pride for us—not only for the prestige of the project, but also because it perfectly embodies the ‘life cycle’ philosophy introduced by the Azimut|Benetti Group,” said Gianni Paladino, Commercial Director of Lusben. “Supporting a Benetti yacht throughout its entire journey—from launch to refit—is a true expression of the synergy within our Group, and of our ability to ensure continuity, quality and long-term value.”
Structural interventions included a full repaint of the hull and Owner Deck, wrapping applications, and multi-level protective coatings. Lusben also led the complex five-year survey programme, with technical inspections and servicing of all main systems.
“A project of this scale demands precise technical coordination and meticulous daily management. For this reason, I would like to thank Simone Rotili, Project Manager at Lusben, for the professionalism and dedication he demonstrated throughout every phase of the refit.” explained Alessio Centelli, Head of Site at Lusben Livorno.
The most visible transformation was in the interiors, meticulously redesigned by Mark Berryman Design to enhance the onboard experience while preserving Alfa’s timeless elegance.
“Today marks a very special occasion – not only because we are taking re-delivery of beautiful yacht with a new and elegant interior, but also because this is the moment to appreciate the efforts of many people over months, their dedication and precision, and the outstanding craftsmanship by Lusben” added Anton Foord, Sales & Purchase Manager at Ocean Independence. “A special word of thanks goes to the highly qualified professionals who brought this project to life, thank you for your reliability, your professionalism, and for the pride you take in your craft. We wish ALFA and her Owner many memorable moments on the Oceans”.
