Italian yard delivers three yachts in three days.
Waterfront: Benetti Triple Header

Benetti set a personal best with three large-yacht launches in three days in early July. The company launched Hull No. 9 of the Vision series, the 45-meter Geanelle, for an American client. The yacht, conceived for private use and for charter in the Med or the Caribbean, is similar in many ways to the seventh Vision, launched in 2006, but she contains some significant innovations that make her completely wheelchair-accessible. Geanelle features a system of electric footboards, a lift that reaches the sun deck from the lower deck and automatic doors. American Susanne Skaff of the Skaff Group decorated the yacht’s François Zuretti-designed interior. Anigre and eucalyptus with straight-grain finish are present in every room.

The second of the triad is Annaeva, a 56-meter motor yacht built for a Russian client who wanted a platform aboard which he could relax and remain connected with his business. Featuring another Zuretti interior, Annaeva exhibits a unique décor for each onboard area. A wide variety of stone was used on the boat along with mahogany and maple joinery. The owner’s cabin was designed with a Bang & Olufsen home theater system with a 65-inch screen. (Click images to enlarge)

Mylo, a 37-meter Benetti Classic, rounds out the group. The young owners chose to reinterpret the Zuretti interior in a minimalist and modern style with extensive use of Corian. Gray parquet flooring is used throughout the yacht. The loose furniture was designed in glossy white by Modenature. Her interior and exterior lines are clean and simple in keeping with the minimalist style.
