164: BOAT Briefing: Benetti’s birthday bash, Bermuda and a pink catamaran

<div>In this week’s podcast Stewart has returned victorious from the inaugural Bermuda Captains’ Golf Retreat. He also talks with Sophia about his weekend celebrating Benetti’s 150th birthday in Viareggio, which included an opera singer on an elevator and 150 identically-sized waiters. The pair discuss the auction of “abandoned” Alfa Nero, which saw the 81.3-metre Oceanco sell to Eric Schmidt for the curious asking price of $67,000,677. In news this week are updates on Amels’ future flagship, Heesen’s <em>Sparta</em> and TISG’s 73-metre Admiral GC-Force and Vision F’s eye-catching pink catamaran.  <br> <br> </div> <br> <div> <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/mayan-queen-migrant-rescue">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/mayan-queen-migrant-rescue<br> </a><br> <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/stewardess-dies-fall-goose-nice">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/stewardess-dies-fall-goose-nice<br> </a><br> <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/alfa-nero-yacht-antigua-auction">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/alfa-nero-yacht-antigua-auction<br> </a><br> <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/amels-120m-flagship">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/amels-120m-flagship<br> </a><br> <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/heesen-project-sparta">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/heesen-project-sparta<br> </a><br> <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/italian-sea-group-73m-gc-force">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/italian-sea-group-73m-gc-force<br> </a><br> <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/visionf-pink-superyacht">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/visionf-pink-superyacht<br> </a><br> <br> BOAT Pro: <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro">https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro</a><br> Subscribe: <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/subscriptions">https://www.boatinternational.com/subscripti
