Rediscovering Elegance: Benetti Yachts' 37m Motopanfilo
The Benetti Motopanfilo 37m is a beautiful and elegant yacht that combines modernity with the rich nautical traditions of the past. This new build luxury yacht, available through Worth Avenue Yachts, is a rebirth of the much-coveted Benetti Yachts Motopanfilo model that was launched in the 1960s and quickly became a favorite among socialites, royalty, and prominent personalities.
Benetti Yachts: Contemporary Design
Meets Classic Beauty
Designed by Francesco Struglia and Benetti Yachts, the exterior of the vessel is an excellent example of a contemporary take on a classic design. The lines are sleek, the proportions are perfectly balanced, and the yacht is imposing, without being overwhelming. The new build’s yacht’s overall length is 36.9 meters, with a maximum beam of 7.8 meters, and a maximum draft of 1.96 meters. The full load displacement is around 230 tons, and the range at 11 knots is approximately 3,800 nautical miles.
The interior and deck design of this luxury yacht was handled by Lazzarini and Pickering Architects, who explain that their goal was to recreate the symbols and memories of the past and combine them with brand-new elements. The result is a beautiful and harmonious space that is perfectly suited for life on the water.
Spacious Luxury: Accommodations for Guests & Crew
Benetti Yachts created an interior that is spacious and comfortable, with ample room for ten guests in five cabins. The guest cabins are located on the lower deck, while the owner’s cabin is on the main deck, providing a stunning panoramic view of the sea. The crew is also well accommodated, with four cabins that can house up to seven crew members.
The guiding idea behind the interior design of this new build Benetti was to create a space that evokes memories of the best nautical traditions, with a focus on comfort and functionality. As Claudio Lazzarini explains, “The Motopanfilo interiors shall not resemble those of a house, but those of a boat.” The result is a space that feels intimate and cozy, yet at the same time, spacious and airy.
Benetti Yachts Motopanfilo: A blend of
modernity and rich maritime heritage
Overall, Benetti Yachts Motopanfilo 37m is a luxury yacht that combines the best of both worlds – the rich nautical traditions of the past with the modernity and luxury of the present. It is the perfect vessel for those who want to enjoy the beauty of the sea while traveling in style and comfort. Available through Worth Avenue Yachts, this new build yacht is a true gem that is sure to delight anyone who appreciates the finest things in life.
