Video of ALFA (shortlisted for) "Best Refit of 2025"
My Speech April 2025 on launching ALFA:
"Good afternoon everyone, I want to take a few moments to express my deepest gratitude to all of you — the amazing team of workers and contractors — who have been involved in the refit of Yacht Alfa over the past six months. Your work has been nothing short of extraordinary. This project has presented its challenges, but your dedication, flexibility, and responsiveness have made all the difference. Throughout this process, you've demonstrated a level of professionalism, patience, and courtesy that truly stands out. Your attention to detail and commitment to excellence have transformed this yacht, and it’s thanks to each of you. A special shoutout goes to Simone, our project manager. Simone, your conscientiousness and personable approach have been the backbone of this endeavour. You have been the face of this project, the face of Benetti, and your leadership has kept everything running smoothly. Your ability to coordinate, motivate, and communicate effectively has been invaluable, and we are all grateful for your unwavering commitment. To everyone involved — thank you. Your hard work, positivity, and unwavering dedication have made this project a success. It’s a pleasure to work alongside such talented professionals. Here’s to the many more successful projects to come. Thank you"
Captain Simon Johnson.
