Verdict
CODE 8 is a classic 164ft Benetti with proven steel-hull cruising credentials, a large 6-cabin layout, and a 2016 refit that helps keep it relevant. It offers strong comfort and range for its age, while performance and handling are solid rather than cutting-edge.
Avantages
- +164ft Benetti with classic Stefano Natucci exterior styling
- +Steel hull and aluminium superstructure suit long-range cruising
- +6 cabins for up to 12 guests, with a 2016 refit
- +Cruising speed around 14-16 knots and strong reported range
- +Aft focus on charter-friendly comfort with air conditioning and WiFi
Inconvénients
- −Older 1995/1996 build, so it is not a modern-new design
- −Guest capacity is 12 overnight, not 35
- −Performance is respectable but not exceptional by current standards
- −Reported crew and layout details vary across sources
CODE 8 is a 164ft Benetti from the Golden Bay Series, with a steel hull, aluminium superstructure, and exterior styling by Stefano Natucci. The profile is traditional rather than radical, but it has the proportions and volume expected of a serious long-range motor yacht, and the 2016 refit helps keep it competitive.
On the water, the yacht is described with cruising speeds in the mid-teens and a top speed in the high teens, which is appropriate for a yacht of this type. It is better judged as a capable displacement cruiser than a high-performance machine: stable, settled, and suited to comfortable passage-making more than aggressive speed.
Livability is a strong point. The verified accommodation is 6 cabins for 12 guests, supported by 6 bathrooms and a crew of 10, which points to a charter-oriented setup with good service capacity. Air conditioning, WiFi, autopilot, and GPS are practical inclusions, and the boat’s size should provide decent separation between social and private areas.
In value terms, CODE 8 is strongest for buyers or charter clients who want a well-known Benetti platform, proven engineering, and large-yacht volume without paying for a much newer custom build. Its age is the main trade-off, but the combination of brand, refit history, and substantial guest space keeps it attractive.
