Yachting Partners International signed Antares Avance as a central agency charter listing.
December 2007

The Monaco Yacht Show proved quite a success for Italian megayacht builder Benetti. On the first day, four motor yacht contracts were signed for vessels at 147, 196, 203 and 213 feet. Among the four yachts, 213-foot Amnesia will be the fourth megayacht built for the same client by the shipyard. The owner’s current yacht has yet to launch (delivery is set for March 2008) and already work has started on No. 4, due for launch in 2010. Redman Whiteley Dixon will once again design the interior and exterior of Amnesia. Visit www.benettiyachts.it.


Benetti plans to deliver 213-foot Amnesia IV in 2010 to a repeat client. (Click image to enlarge)
