Benetti has today announced the successful launch of the 60 metre FB255 superyacht Formosa, sold in 2012 by Fraser Yachts, and launched on schedule the 4th of this month at Livorno.
The steel and aluminium super yacht, whose exterior styling and lines were all drawn in house at Benetti, has five decks, a beam of 10.6 meters and a total volume of 1,060 gross tons.
