Besnati at the Cannes Yachting Festival with HURLO 325
Besnati inaugurates a new path in the world of luxury tenders, set to expand in the coming years with models of various sizes, aiming to offer boats capable of combining Italian design, high performance, and maximum customization.
Davide Besnati, after presenting the first prototypes in Dusseldorf, decided to showcase his new Hurlo 325 at the Cannes Yachting Festival, his latest project equipped with the new Belassi Turbo engine with 330 horsepower that allows it to reach 60 knots.
Besnati, statements from the founder
“Hurlo 325 is the result of an evolutionary path born from the prototypes presented at the boot and refined thanks to feedback collected from owners and dealers in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. In the months following the boot, we worked to transform that interest into an even more mature product, addressing every technical detail until we reached the configuration that we now consider ideal. From Düsseldorf to Cannes, Hurlo 325 is therefore the result of a development path driven by the market. Regarding propulsion, we identified the Austrian brand Belassi as the ideal partner, specialized in high-performance marine engines. We then reviewed every technical aspect, starting with a restyling of the hulls, designed to adapt to the needs of the most diverse yachts, by type and shipyard. A new driver’s seat and a Formula 1-inspired steering wheel, both made of carbon, an innovative damping system, and a new 12.5-inch floating touch screen that integrates all onboard home automation have also been introduced,” says Davide Besnati, head and founder of the brand.
This first model of the range represents the progenitor of a project aimed at creating a new type of tender, compact yet functional, capable of transforming every outing at sea into an engaging experience; all this through great attention to design, construction quality, but above all to customization.
“This range derives from my personal experience as an owner: over the years I have had several boats, all equipped with tenders and toys, and I felt the need to bring greater attention to design, customization, and the pleasure of use in this segment as well. We wanted to create a product capable of uniting the design elegance of yachts with the emotions typical of more sporty vessels,” explains the founder of the brand.
Hurlo 325, making its world debut at Cannes 2026, was designed by engineer Valerio Rivellini, inspired by the automotive world, go-karts, and jet skis, to create a maneuverable tender that is also fast, capable of delivering pure pleasure during its use.
The new version of the Belassi Turbo engine with 330 hp powers this tender; high standards of comfort and safety are guaranteed alongside acceleration and great speed, responsiveness, control, and ease of handling. Agility and performance are also ensured by the dimensions (length 3.25m – width 1.78m), making it the natural complement of a yacht but also capable of offering excitement and fun as a recreational unit.
Another distinctive element of these luxury tenders is the extreme customization by the owner, through a wide choice of materials, finishes, and colors; a true bespoke approach that allows the market to offer a unique product, in the owner’s style.
