Gentleman Explorer Yacht.
Benetti 29m classic ocean tug conversion (2005)
OVERVIEW
Originally launched by Benetti in 1964 as an ocean-going tugboat, SAN GENNARO is a truly unique 29.39-metre vessel that combines the strength and reliability of a professional working ship with the comfort, character and elegance of a private yacht.
Following an extensive conversion completed in 2005 under the direction of Italian naval architect Maela Lenci, the vessel was transformed from a commercial tug into a
distinguished long-range motor yacht while carefully preserving her authentic maritime identity.
Today SAN GENNARO represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Italian nautical heritage. Her unmistakable profile, impressive displacement, robust steel
construction and remarkable cruising capabilities place her among the most fascinating classic yacht conversions currently available on the market.
Built for endurance and designed for comfortable cruising, she offers a yachting experience defined by authenticity, character and exceptional seaworthiness

HISTORY & REFIT (2005)
Constructed by Benetti in 1964 as an ocean-going tug, SAN GENNARO was originally built to withstand demanding commercial operations and challenging sea conditions. Her heavydisplacement hull, powerful propulsion system and uncompromising engineering remain testament to an era when vessels were designed to last generations. In 2005, the yacht underwent a comprehensive conversion and redesign by Maela Lenci and Lenci Marine, carried out at Ortona Navi Shipyard on Italy's Adriatic coast. The project involved the complete reconstruction and enlargement of the superstructure, creating significantly increased interior volumes while maintaining the vessel's distinctive tugboat character. Particular attention was given to the bridge, which was redesigned with
outward-inclined windows inspired by those found aboard larger commercial ships, creating a commanding and highly distinctive wheelhouse.
The accommodation layout was completely reconfigured to provide comfortable guest areas, a spacious saloon, separate dining room, fully equipped galley, dedicated laundry area and an impressive owner's suite occupying a privileged position on the upper deck.
Throughout the yacht, fine teak joinery, traditional detailing and carefully selected maritime antiques create a timeless atmosphere that reflects her rich nautical heritage.
A complete overhaul of the machinery spaces accompanied the conversion, allowing the yacht to retain her original MAN diesel engine while benefiting from modern onboard systems and equipment.
