Benetti Classic/115 Semi-Custom Yacht with 2022 Refit
This 34.95 m Benetti Custom motor yacht, part of the prestigious semi-custom Classic/115 series, is a superb example of Italian craftsmanship, combining a robust GRP construction with timeless exterior lines and refined interiors. Delivered in 2004 from Benettiâs Viareggio facility, she features a 7.62 m beam, shallow 1.95 m draft and 254 GT of internal volume, providing impressive space while still accessing a wide range of harbours and anchorages. With exterior design by Stefano Righini and interiors by Zuretti, she pairs pedigree styling with a flexible three-deck layout optimised for both private family cruising and luxury charter.
Construction, Dimensions & Layout
Built in GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) for both hull and superstructure, with teak decks across three levels, this yacht offers durability, ease of maintenance and a warm, classic aesthetic. Key particulars include:
A semi-displacement hull provides an excellent compromise between performance and comfort, while traditional shaft-drive propulsion with twin screws ensures straightforward servicing and reliable operation. Three decks provide generous entertaining areas, private guest spaces and efficient crew circulation.
Performance, Range & Engineering
Propulsion comes from twin Caterpillar 3412E diesel engines, each rated at 1,400 hp (2,800 hp total). With a fuel capacity of approximately 35,000 litres, she offers:
These figures underline her suitability for extended passages, with manageable operating costs and strong efficiency for a yacht of her size and volume. Underway stabilisers significantly enhance comfort both underway and at anchor, a major advantage for long cruises and charter itineraries. Freshwater capacity of approx. 6,000 litres further supports extended time on board between port calls.
Guest Accommodation & Interior Design
Accommodation is arranged for up to 10 guests in five well-proportioned suites:
Crew quarters for up to 7 ensure full-service operations, whether for private cruising or charter. Zurettiâs interior styling blends high-end joinery, custom cabinetry, rich fabrics and elegant detailing to create a warm, sophisticated environment. The main salon and dining area are designed for relaxed socialising, with ample seating, large windows and a formal dining table for hosting family or guests.
Exterior Decks, Jacuzzi & Outdoor Living
The three-deck layout offers multiple outdoor zones for sunbathing, alfresco dining and entertaining. Key exterior features include:
Teak decks throughout elevate the visual appeal and tactile quality, while exterior lighting creates an inviting ambience for evening use.
Navigation, Electronics & Onboard Technology
The yachtâs navigation suite is built around professional-grade equipment suitable for extended cruising. Chart plotters, radar, AIS, GPS and autopilot provide safe and efficient passage planning and navigation. Underway stabilisers reduce roll and improve comfort in varied conditions.
Communication infrastructure includes satcom, VHF and onboard Wi-Fi for connectivity at sea. Security systems and electronic controls integrate with interior automation for lighting, audio-visual systems and blinds, reflecting the upgrades performed during the 2022 refit.
Comfort, Luxury & Atmosphere
Full air-conditioning, comprehensive insulation and sound-proofing create a calm, comfortable environment across all interior spaces. High-end furnishings, custom cabinetry and carefully selected materials are consistent with Zurettiâs design language. Exterior deck lighting, dedicated sun-pad zones and multiple lounge areas enhance the sense of luxury and provide flexible spaces for guests to enjoy panoramic views by day or night.
Usage Potential & Charter Appeal
With a shallow 1.95 m draft and a near-3,700 nm range, this Benetti is ideal for both regional cruising and longer blue-water passages. The five-suite layout, ample deck spaces and proven Benetti build quality make her an appealing candidate for luxury charter, subject to flag and regulatory requirements in the chosen cruising area. For private owners, she offers the feel of a much larger yacht while retaining lower running and berthing costs.
Refit History, Maintenance & Condition
A substantial refit completed in 2022 included:
Routine antifouling, engine servicing, stabiliser maintenance and cosmetic work have been carried out by experienced crew and professional yards. Comprehensive service records are available, giving incoming owners the confidence that the major refit cycle has been completed and the yacht is ready for immediate use.
Registration, Ownership & Legal Framework
The yacht is flagged in the United Arab Emirates and has enjoyed stable ownership, with former names including Brianna and Benalex. VAT status, classification certificates and registration documents are available for buyer review. Her charter-friendly layout and classification give flexibility for future re-flagging or registration changes if desired.
Sales Process, Survey & Inclusions
