Benetti Cristal Yacht
The 42-meter Benetti Cristal yacht was built between 2010 and 2011 by Benetti Shipyard and delivered on schedule. The exterior was designed by Stefano Righini Design, while the interior was curated by Zuretti Interior Design.
Maurizio Capitani was appointed by the Owner as both Captain and Project Manager, overseeing the entire outfitting process with outstanding results. His leadership was particularly significant, considering the yacht was the first model of its class.
The final outcome reflected the exceptional professionalism and organization of the team involved, who successfully managed every stage of the production process and fully met the Owner’s expectations.
Benetti Classic Hoshi
The 35-meter Benetti Classic Hoshi motor yacht was built in 2000 by Benetti Shipyard, with interiors designed by Zuretti Interior Design.
In 2022, Hoshi entered the management of MC Yachting. Major technical upgrades were carried out, including the replacement of both generators, extensive painting works, key engine room interventions, and the installation of new onboard equipment. The yacht was also reinstated into class, restoring full compliance and operational standards.
Between 2023 and 2024, the teak decks on the upper deck, swimming platform, and steps were entirely replaced, restoring their original elegance and functionality. The gangway was also overhauled to ensure full operational efficiency. In addition, MC Yachting renewed the navigation and communication systems, updated the lighting circuits and exterior lights, and fully modernized the galley with new appliances and refrigeration systems.
Thanks to this comprehensive refit program, Hoshi has been fully enhanced to deliver outstanding levels of safety, performance, and onboard comfort.
Client Testimonial
“I have been working with Captain Maurizio Capitani, Administrator of MC-Yachting SAS, since December 2022. Since then, he has served as the Technical Manager of my 35-meter yacht.
Maurizio has proven to be an extremely competent and knowledgeable professional in yacht refitting, particularly in mechanics, hydraulics, carpentry, painting, and everything a vessel might require.
Our collaboration has now lasted over two years, and Maurizio, along with his company, has been a real added value to the technical maintenance of my yacht.
I would not hesitate to recommend him as a Technical Manager to anyone in need of reliable oversight for work on their vessel.
I would also like to highlight his ability to establish excellent relationships with shipyard personnel and suppliers operating in the maritime sector.”
Hoshi’s Owner
RJ
For M/Y RJ, the MC Yachting team developed a tailored Mini-ISM manual, designed to meet the specific operational needs of the yacht and its crew.
The work included the creation of clear and practical operational modules, a detailed inspection checklist to prepare the vessel for any visit by maritime authorities, and a customized Master Role plan assigning duties and step-by-step emergency procedures.
Thanks to the hands-on involvement of Filippo Capitani, the captain received a straightforward and effective system that ensures safety, organization, and regulatory compliance at all times.

“As the Captain of M/Y RJ, I am sending this letter to formally thank the entire MC Yachting team for their kind, prompt, and precise support provided during the consultancy for developing a tailored Mini-ISM system for our yacht.
My thanks go to my colleague Maurizio Capitani, founder and coordinator, but a particularly heartfelt acknowledgment goes to his son Filippo, who worked on the front lines with great dedication.“
