BENETTI INTRODUCES M/Y EQUUS AND DOMINI
ITALIAN YACHT MANUFACTURER BENETTI, under Azimut |
Benetti Group, launched the Crystal 140 M/Y EQUUS and the 45-metre
displacement yacht M/Y Domani.
The Crystal 140 represents the benchmark for semi-custom yachts
in the range. First introduced in 2011 to satisfy the needs of diversified
clientele for spacious above and below decks areas, Crystal 140 shuttle
has since sold six units.
EQUUS was purchased by an experienced Owner, who is new to
Benetti and was looking for a model that would bring together family
and friends without being excessively large.
Contemporary interiors were created by the Benetti in-house design
team in collaboration with the Owner’s designer, Polly Sturgess POD
Interior Style studio who personally created the
decorative detailing.
It recalls a colonial atmosphere with an
African mood, in reference to the Owner’s
family passion for the African continent and
polo. The living area’s decorative panels imitate
zebra skins, while all the door and cupboard
handles are in dark woven leather.
The most important feature of EQUUS is
the spacious sun deck that includes a large
zone towards the stern with settees and
lounge chairs, while the Jacuzzi has been
moved forward.
“Her launch once again confirms the
success of the semi-custom Crystal 140 model,
surely the most spacious yacht in her category,”
says Benetti COO Fabio Ermetto.
The Owner of Benetti’s other recently
launched yacht M/Y Domini also focuses on
sailing with family. The custom-built yacht
was constructed at the Viareggio Benettishipyard and was delivered to the client in June. This is the Owner’s
fourth Benetti yacht.
The external design of the four-decked steel and aluminium yacht
is the result of Benetti’s in-house design team, appointed along with
superyacht designer Carlo Galeazzi to work on the interior layout with
considerable input from the Owner and his design team.
The efficient use of space is one of the peculiarities of this below 500
GT full-displacement yacht. The sky lounge on the upper deck overlooks
the outdoor area through a huge glass door at full height and full width
(about 8 metres), creating a unique indoor-outdoor effect.
