The Genoa Boat Show’s Real Star? This Gangway Has a Story to Tell
More Than a Step: The First Impression
In the world of yachting, every detail speaks volumes. And the moment of arrival, the simple act of stepping aboard, is a crucial part of a vessel’s story. At the Genoa International Boat Show, the focus isn’t just on the gleaming hulls; it’s on the technology that makes life on board possible. For nearly 60 years, Besenzoni has been a quiet force in this space, providing the essential, innovative equipment that defines a yacht’s quality. Their presence at Genoa, with a spotlight on their gangway line, is a statement that a gangway is not just a step—it’s a piece of modern design, a technological feat, and the very first impression a yacht makes.
From Compact to Custom: A Range Built for Purpose
Besenzoni’s gangway line, on full display at their stand in Pavilion B, is a testament to their deep understanding of the marine industry. Their range of solutions covers every type of vessel. For smaller boats with outboard engines, the compact PE 660 offers a lightweight, space-saving solution in both electric and hydraulic versions. On the other end of the spectrum, the PI 890 is a fully customizable hydraulic, retractable, and rotating gangway built specifically for superyachts and bespoke projects. With options for length, rotation, and materials, it is a piece of equipment that is as unique as the yacht itself.
The Italian Advantage: Craftsmanship and Know-How
Their dominance in this segment is not a coincidence; it is a result of their long-standing Italian heritage and expertise. Their gangways blend advanced functionality with an elegant design, featuring sleek platforms in polished stainless steel or finished with natural or synthetic teak. These are not just mechanical devices; they are meticulously crafted pieces of a yacht’s aesthetic. Accessories like integrated LED lights and automatic stanchions add a level of sophistication and safety that sets them apart. This fusion of Italian design with robust engineering is a signature that has earned them the trust of builders and owners worldwide.
The PI 890: A Superyacht’s Secret Weapon for Style and Security
For superyacht projects, the gangway is a critical component of security, logistics, and visual identity. The PI 890 offers a powerful solution. Its hydraulic system, retractable design, and rotating functionality give a crew complete control over dockside operations, ensuring a secure and elegant boarding experience. This is a crucial element for a yacht’s operational readiness and guest experience. The ability to customize every aspect of the gangway means it can be perfectly tailored to the yacht’s unique design language, ensuring it looks as good as it performs.
Where Quality Meets the Water
Besenzoni’s presence at the Genoa Boat Show is a must-see for anyone who understands that a yacht’s true quality is measured in its details. From the compact PE 660 that brings high-end functionality to smaller vessels, to the bespoke PI 890 that is a centerpiece of superyacht elegance, the company’s gangway line is a statement. This is where you see firsthand what 60 years of experience in Italian craftsmanship and technology looks like. Besenzoni is not just providing equipment; it is providing the essential pieces that make a boat feel complete, safe, and truly luxurious.
