Benini.  The unique and elegant furniture of the cabins - crafted by master carpenters of Lake Iseo which still carry on their traditional techniques - alongside with innovative construction techniques and accurate assembly, ensure sturdiness and quality, while the hulls offer excellent performance and low fuel or energy consumption.

The design and modeling of the boats are made with the help of computer systems and robotic cutters. The optimization of each layouts is obtained by full-scale mock up. The efficiency of the hulls and propulsion systems is experienced with dynamic tests. One of the largest and most modern booths allows to achieve aesthetic results at the highest level.

In 1997 the company was taken over by Foresti family, which through a major business development plan takes the company to reach in a short time, remarkable goals. In 2001 was produced the Sarnico 65, first model coupe, and the Sarnico 58, with the largest hull openness.
