GITANES

GITANES is a 35.4-metre custom steel motor yacht built by Benetti in 1982 and refitted in 2015, a vessel whose four decades of active life represent a period of Italian shipbuilding that predates the industrialised superyacht production that followed. Exterior design was carried out by Benetti; no interior designer is recorded on file. No flag state is currently recorded. At 180 gross tonnes across a 35-metre hull, her proportions reflect the longer, narrower forms that characterised Benetti's custom steel work in the early 1980s.

She accommodates 10 guests across four cabins with a crew of six. The crew-to-guest ratio is workable for a traditionally sized party, though the four-cabin configuration means the guest quarters are fewer than in most contemporary 35-metre vessels. GITANES charters along the western Mediterranean coast — the French Riviera, Corsica, Sardinia, Amalfi, Monaco, and the broader Italian coast. Her range of 3,800 nautical miles at 10 knots reflects the economy of a displacement steel hull designed for extended passages rather than speed. Those seeking performance or contemporary interior specification will find her pace and vintage build do not align with those expectations.

The 2015 refit addressed her systems and brought current connectivity standards. Stabilisers fitted for use underway contribute to a more settled motion on coastal passages. A 1982 Benetti custom steel hull in continued charter service is a vessel whose longevity itself speaks to the quality of original construction; structural steel properly maintained does not degrade in the same manner as composite materials, and her continued presence in the western Mediterranean charter market after more than four decades reflects well-maintained underlying fabric.

Deck amenities are understated: air conditioning, satellite TV, and Wi-Fi represent the onboard systems confirmed on file. Water toys include a two-seat waverunner, water-skis, a doughnut, inflatable water toys, two paddleboards, and a two-person kayak — a modest selection appropriate for a vessel of this character. GITANES suits guests who value a well-founded, long-range charter yacht with a genuine history over the specification-led offerings of newer builds.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
