Besnati Hurlo 325, a 3.25-meter tender capable of reaching 60 knots

Italian manufacturer Besnati is expanding its line of tenders with a new model designed for yachts. Making its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, September 8?13, 2026, the Hurlo 325 combines a compact design with a powertrain developed in collaboration with Belassi. The shipyard also emphasizes customization and seamless integration with the yachts for which these tenders are designed.

The tender market is evolving rapidly. Yacht owners are now looking for tenders that provide transportation between the anchorage and the shore while offering a driving experience and a level of finish comparable to that of the main vessel. With the Hurlo 325, Besnati presents a new take on this class of boats, emphasizing speed, customization, and a design tailored to yachts from various manufacturers.

A 3.25-meter tender developed based on market feedback

The Hurlo 325 is the successor to the prototypes unveiled at the boot Düsseldorf trade show. According to Besnati, development of the project continued after that initial presentation, based on feedback gathered from owners and distributors in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

This new version features, in particular, modifications to the hull design to facilitate its integration with yachts of various sizes and designs. The manufacturer also notes that it has revised several elements of the helm station as well as certain onboard equipment.

A Belassi propulsion system has been announced that is expected to exceed 60 knots

The main technical change involves the powertrain. The Hurlo 325 is equipped with a new 330 ch version of the Belassi Turbo engine, which features a Garrett turbocharger.

Besnati claims a top speed of over 60 knots. The manufacturer also highlights the responsiveness of this powertrain and its dynamic handling. However, the press release does not specify the boat?s displacement, acceleration performance, or fuel consumption?all of which are key metrics that will allow for a more precise assessment of this level of performance during the official unveiling.

Measuring 3.25 m long by 1.78 m wide, the Hurlo 325 falls into the category of very compact tenders. Its balance of size and power reflects a commitment to performance rarely seen in this type of boat.

A cockpit inspired by sports cars

The Hurlo 325 was designed by Valerio Rivellini, a naval engineer and founder of the studio that bears his name. The design draws inspiration from sports cars, go-karts, and jet skis.

The cockpit features a carbon-fiber steering wheel inspired by Formula 1, as well as a new seat equipped with a suspension system designed to enhance the driver's comfort. The instrument panel consists of a 12.5-inch floating touchscreen that centralizes the boat's main functions.

Extensive customization options to match the host yacht

Besnati offers composite construction featuring several carbon-fiber components. The shipyard provides a wide selection of materials, colors, finishes, and equipment to ensure that each tender is tailored to the yacht for which it is intended.

This customization is not limited to aesthetics. It also aims to align the technical specifications and visual identity of the tender with those of the main vessel?a request that is becoming increasingly common in the large yacht segment.

A product line set to expand

The Hurlo 325 is the first model in a new family of tenders developed by Besnati. The manufacturer has already announced its intention to expand this line with several units of different sizes.

The world premiere of the Hurlo 325 is scheduled to take place at the Cannes Yachting Festival, which will be held from September 8 to 13, 2026. Besnati will showcase this new model at Booth 008 in the Palais des Festivals, where visitors can explore this new offering designed for the yacht tender market.
