1964 Benetti 30m Tug boat | 98ft

Tug heritage, reworked for yachting

The 1964 Benetti 30m Tug boat brings commercial tug origins to a 98.43-foot steel yacht with a distinctly purposeful profile. Its direct-drive propulsion arrangement and 25.39-foot beam underpin a substantial platform, while the 10.37-foot maximum draft is a key consideration for itinerary planning and berth selection.

Solid teak covers the main and upper decks, retaining a working-vessel material language while establishing generous exterior areas for time alongside the water.

Decks arranged for gathering and privacy

The main deck combines an open aft deck with enclosed living space, while the galley and master cabin occupy the forward portion of the deck. An exceptionally broad cockpit incorporates conversation seating and teak sunpads.

The upper deck adds a more secluded living room with a corner study, opening aft to a bridge-deck dining area with a large teak table and chairs. The wheelhouse occupies the upper deck and pairs white lacquered ash and teak with black leather detailing.

Four-cabin accommodation

The accommodation plan comprises four cabins, with the lower deck arranged around two guest cabins and a VIP cabin. A captain’s cabin, crew mess, pantry and guest laundry complete the service areas, while two aft crew cabins have exterior access from the main deck.

Interior joinery uses open-pore finishes, horizontal mouldings, white lacquered ash, maple accents and leather inserts. Linen drapery and upholstery continue the light interior palette, while polished stainless-steel finishes appear at the side windows, portholes and handrails.

Machinery and onboard systems

Twin Cummins KTA engines deliver 2,000 hp, with a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum speed of 15 knots. The propulsion system uses direct drive, and a hydraulic windlass supports anchoring operations.

The 220V electrical system serves an air-conditioning installation with separate temperature settings across cabins and decks. Fuel capacity is 14,529.47 gallons, while freshwater capacity is 2,086.96 gallons.

Naples location

The 1964 Benetti 30m Tug boat is located in Naples, Napoli. The yacht combines a steel hull, four-cabin layout and crew accommodation within a 30-metre Benetti tug conversion.
