Benetti 67-metre launched

While the process of design for any custom yacht is a rigorous symbiosis between owner, shipyard and designer, for Benetti’s latest launch – a 67-metre full custom build – the owner couple had a decided advantage in getting exactly what they wanted. That’s because the owner herself is an experienced interior designer with expertise in the luxury real estate sector – perfect for developing the owner couple’s very own floating beach house.

The 67.16-metre yacht offers a number of features that will have helped inspire those interiors, with a wide-body design forward on the main deck that allows her owners to enjoy nearly the whole 11-metre beam of the vessel. Exterior design for the yacht was completed by Cassetta Yacht Designers, offering a taut and stylish profile punctuated by signature two-metre-diameter circular glass windows in the hull.

Aesthetically original, the round windows were strongly desired by the owners who were seeking to highlight the connection from indoors to the natural environment and ocean vistas beyond. Indeed, designed as a beautiful and luxurious residence on the water, it was essential for the design to include a constant reminder of the natural environment around the yacht.
