The exterior design was developed by Giorgio Maria Cassetta, and the vessel is expected to meet the highest standards 

The project was introduced to the owner by Northrop & Johnson in Fort Lauderdale with support and facilitation from the Benetti Americas office. 

According to the shipyard, thanks to the previous positive experience, the owner is glad to get involved in the construction process again and is planning to take active part in it. 

One of the owner’s key goals is to create large outdoor entertaining areas to meet the expectations of his multi-generational family. They have got used to the relaxing and comfortable environment on their current Benetti yacht, and would like to keept it all on board the new vessel, too. 

“We are honored to create a new, beautiful design for a client that showed us his love from our very first meeting five years ago, and continuously supported our vision through his first and now second build with us. The great attention that he and his family dedicated to the definition of the design will be instrumental to the creation of a new masterpiece,” said Giorgio Maria Cassetta. 

“We are deeply proud of this yacht, as it marks a significant milestone both for the owner, who is a treasured loyal customer, and for us as a shipyard, as we continue to push the boundaries of design, technology and luxury”, commented Daniela Petrozzi, Benetti Yachts Sales Director. 

The delivery of the custom 80-metre superyacht is scheduled for the end of 2028.
