Who is Besenzoni?
Besenzoni has manufactured hydraulic accessories for yachts and superyachts since 1967, based in Sarnico on Lake Iseo, near Bergamo, Italy. Its product range covers hydraulic boarding gangways, tender and dinghy cranes, davits, folding swim platforms, and electro-hydraulic pilot seats. Its equipment is fitted as original equipment by many yards across the motor yacht, sailing yacht and superyacht segments. See the full range on the manufacturer's official site: besenzoni.com.
Aslan Yacht and Besenzoni
Aslan Yacht is an authorized dealer and service partner for Besenzoni in Turgutreis, Bodrum. This covers new equipment sales and installation as well as maintenance and repair of existing systems with original spare parts. The team has hands-on experience with the electrical-hydraulic integration of gangway, crane, davit, swim platform and pilot seat systems. Since Besenzoni equipment usually draws power from the boat's energy and battery system, the pump motor supply and control circuit are also part of the service scope.
Typical service jobs in Bodrum
For boat owners around Turgutreis D-Marin, Yalıkavak Palmarina, Milta Bodrum Marina and Gümüşlük, the most common jobs are:
- Gangway maintenance and repair: checking the hydraulic pump motor, directional valves, limit switches and mechanical hinges.
- Crane and davit service: hydraulic cylinder, hook safety catch and control button checks on tender/dinghy lifting systems.
- Pilot seat maintenance: electro-hydraulic actuator, memory function and control panel fault diagnosis.
- Swim platform service: hydraulics of the fold-down platform, seals and corrosion check on electrical connection points.
- Season opening and winterization: checking hydraulic fluid level, filter condition and protecting electrical connections from moisture and salt.
Most of this falls under the broader scope described on the hydraulic systems page, where Besenzoni is the most common brand encountered. For more technical detail on gangway upkeep, see our article on hydraulic gangway maintenance.
Product range and installation notes
Besenzoni's BX series pilot seats, PI series hydraulic gangways and various tender/dinghy crane models are chosen according to the boat's size, transom structure and intended use. Stainless steel and anodized aluminium housings are built to withstand a salt-water environment, but regular maintenance still directly determines equipment lifespan. Before installation, Aslan Yacht carries out an on-board survey to assess the existing electrical infrastructure, the mounting location, the hydraulic line routing and where the control panel will sit, then agrees the right model and installation plan with the owner. On new-build boats this means coordinating with the yard, while on refit projects it involves removing the old system and preparing suitable infrastructure for the new equipment.
Why Aslan Yacht?
Necmettin Aslan's electrical-electronic-mechanical background, built up since the early 2000s, translates directly into faster fault diagnosis on the control boards and pump motors of Besenzoni's hydraulic systems. The team can source original Besenzoni spare parts and carries out warranty work to manufacturer standards.
