This anniversary book celebrates iconic vessels like David Bowie’s El Caran, Adnan Khashoggi’s Nabila, and the historic Delfino, considered the world's first luxury yacht. From the 108-meter IJE to collaborations with renowned designers and a prestigious clientele including Zlatan Ibrahimović, every page showcases Benetti's legacy.

Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple's experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives.
Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last quarter of a century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations across the globe.
With a distinguished team of creative talents—which includes the founders' son Alexandre—the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury. Assouline’s roster of collaborators includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers and designers.
