About
San Gennaro – From Tugboat to Timeless Yacht
San Gennaro is a magnificent 29-metre Benetti tugboat, originally launched in 1964 and later transformed from a hardworking vessel into a distinguished private yacht.
The ambitious refit project, carried out by Lenci Marine, involved a complete renewal of the superstructures. These were expanded to create elegant living spaces — a spacious salon, a dining room, and a fully equipped galley. On the upper deck, a grand wheelhouse and the owner’s suite were added, while the lower deck was redesigned to include three guest cabins and a laundry area. The crew quarters, consisting of two twin cabins, are located aft of the engine room.
Every detail reflects timeless craftsmanship: the interiors are finished in fine teak wood, harmoniously matched with teak decking across all three levels, creating a warm and classic maritime atmosphere.
The conversion was a true labor of restoration and respect for tradition. The engine room underwent a complete overhaul, allowing the yacht to preserve its original MAN engine, delivering 1,051 horsepower at 360 rpm. The refit was carried out at the Ortona Navi shipyard on the Adriatic coast, and San Gennaro was proudly re-launched for the 2005 season, ready to sail once again — this time as a symbol of nautical elegance and history reborn.
Benetti 29 Tugboat – M/Y San Gennaro
Year: 1964 | Length: 29 m | Hull: Black | Superstructure: Military Green
A timeless expression of classic Italian shipbuilding, the San Gennaro is a beautifully refitted 29-meter Benetti tugboat that blends authentic maritime heritage with modern luxury. Originally launched in 1964, this extraordinary vessel now combines the strength of her origins with the comfort and sophistication of a contemporary motor yacht.
Exterior & Design
Featuring a striking black hull and military green superstructure, San Gennaro stands out with her powerful presence and vintage charm. The decks are finished in teak and sinteak, providing warmth, durability, and timeless elegance. The yacht offers multiple outdoor relaxation areas, including rear and flybridge sundecks with bimini-top shade, perfect for lounging or entertaining at sea.
Accommodation & Interior
Inside, San Gennaro offers a spacious and beautifully appointed layout with four cabins and four bathrooms, each with shower cubicle, bidet, and electric toilet. The owner’s suite features a TV and safe, while the saloon includes a retractable television and Hi-Fi sound system with external speakers.
The separate galley is fully equipped with three refrigerators, an icebox, induction hob, oven, freezer, dishwasher, and even a refrigerator on the cockpit and flybridge. Additional amenities include a washing machine, dryer, and ice maker, ensuring all the comforts of home at sea.
Performance & Equipment
Powered by a MAN 1050 HP diesel engine, San Gennaro delivers reliable cruising performance supported by two 40 kW generators, bow thruster, and two 110 L/h watermakers. The yacht is equipped with air conditioning (144,000 BTU), autopilot, radar, retractable hydraulic gangway, electric mooring winches, hydraulic bow crane for tenders, electric entrance door, and underwater lights.
Technology & Safety
Advanced features include two satellite antennas, video cameras in the engine room and on the aft deck, and a fire extinguishing system for complete onboard safety and monitoring.
Maintenance & Upgrades
San Gennaro has been meticulously maintained throughout her life. Recent works completed in 2024 include:
Overhaul of the ducted propeller and propeller shaft
Sandblasting and restoration of the bow in the anchor area
Overhaul of the bow thruster engine
Inspection of chain links
In 2023, a new heat exchanger was installed, ensuring the yacht continues to perform flawlessly.
