Benetti 54m
2016
Pleinement Opérationnel
Built by the world-renowned Italian yard Benetti and delivered in 2016, with a refit scheduled for 2026, this 54-metre custom motor yacht represents a highly refined offering for buyers seeking pedigree construction, transoceanic capability, and contemporary luxury in a proven long-range platform. Designed entirely in-house by Benetti for naval architecture and exterior styling, with interiors by Zuretti, the yacht showcases a cohesive design language from hull engineering through to guest living spaces. Constructed with a full displacement steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she has been built for structural strength, dependable ocean-going performance, and enduring ownership value. Her 9.6-metre beam, 2.9-metre draft, 710 GT internal volume, and 665-tonne displacement create an impressive sense of scale onboard while supporting stable and comfortable passage-making across a wide variety of cruising environments.
Construction, Design & Presence
Teak-laid decks across three levels provide the traditional finish expected of a yacht in this class while also offering excellent durability and practical slip resistance underfoot. The striking blue hull contrasts elegantly with the white superstructure, giving the vessel a strong visual identity that balances classic superyacht proportions with modern styling confidence. The full displacement hull form prioritizes comfort, efficiency, and predictable motion, which is especially valuable on long passages and during extended seasonal cruising programs. Benettiâs build quality is evident in the yachtâs hull structure, deck configuration, and overall finish, all of which reflect the yardâs long-established expertise in large custom yachts intended for serious global use as well as high-end charter appeal.
Propulsion, Range & Technical Capability
The yacht is powered by twin Caterpillar M351C-HD diesel engines, each generating 2,365 horsepower at 1800 rpm, for a combined total output of 4,730 horsepower. This robust engine package gives the yacht a maximum speed of 17 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 12 knots, offering both respectable transit capability and efficient long-distance performance. With fuel capacity of 73,700 litres and freshwater capacity of 15,190 litres, she is configured for autonomous operation over extended periods and delivers an approximate range of 4,000 nautical miles at cruising speed, making her well suited to transatlantic use and other major cruising routes. Twin screw propulsion contributes dependable handling and reliable thrust transfer, while at-anchor stabilizers improve onboard comfort significantly by reducing roll in static conditions.
The engine room and broader technical arrangement are designed for operational clarity and service access, incorporating gearbox systems, fuel filtration, cooling circuits, exhaust routing, vibration-dampening engine mounts, shafts, couplings, and stern gear engineered for longevity and efficient use. A bow thruster supports precise close-quarters movement in marina settings. The yachtâs electrical infrastructure includes integrated battery banks, shore power systems, inverters, and distribution panels to support continuous hotel and technical loads, while plumbing arrangements include freshwater pumps, bilge systems, hot water equipment, and holding tank configurations intended for reliable long-term operation.
Accommodation & Onboard Experience
Guest accommodation is arranged for up to 12 people across six cabins, including a full-beam ownerâs suite on the main deck, three VIP cabins, one double cabin, and one twin cabin. This layout gives the yacht notable flexibility for families, multi-generational cruising, or charter groups seeking a higher ratio of premium guest cabins. Crew accommodation for up to 11 personnel across seven cabins, including a dedicated captainâs cabin, supports strong service standards while preserving privacy in guest zones. The main salon has been designed as a spacious and welcoming environment for relaxation and entertaining, enhanced by the refined material palette and interior detailing associated with Zurettiâs work. Dining arrangements cater to both formal and more relaxed occasions, while the galley has been positioned to ensure efficient circulation and discreet service delivery.
Exterior spaces are equally impressive and clearly conceived for a luxury lifestyle at sea. The sundeck features sunpads and a jacuzzi, creating a natural social hub with open views and relaxed atmosphere. Additional outdoor lounging and dining zones support varied guest use throughout the day, from sunbathing and cocktails to evening entertaining. At the stern, the beach club offers direct access to the water and enhances the yachtâs resort-style appeal, while the inclusion of a fully equipped gym adds a strong wellness component for owners and guests wanting more than a conventional cruising platform. Entertainment systems including satellite television, Wi-Fi, games consoles, and integrated audio further strengthen her appeal for modern private or charter use.
Navigation, Safety & Maintenance Profile
Navigation and operational technology include radar, GPS, AIS, autopilot, chart plotting equipment, and associated communication systems that support safe and efficient operation across coastal and offshore conditions. Monitoring systems contribute to navigation accuracy, machinery oversight, and onboard security. Structural upkeep, antifouling treatments, and machinery servicing have been addressed in line with recognized maintenance practices, while the scheduled 2026 refit further underlines a program of continuing investment in the yachtâs technical and guest-facing standards. Safety arrangements include fire suppression systems, extinguishers, and life-saving appliances aligned with international maritime expectations, while navigational instrumentation is maintained and verified to support operational confidence.
Registry, Transaction & Buyer Appeal
Registered under the Cayman Islands flag, the yacht benefits from one of the most respected registries in the international yachting sector, a factor that supports private ownership structures and charter deployment alike. Her ownership history, including prior name changes, reflects an active market presence rather than dormancy. The purchase process can accommodate surveys, sea trials, technical inspections, and structured negotiation procedures, including deposits, escrow handling, and formal closing arrangements. Depending on agreed terms, the sale may also include a 5.8-metre Novurania chase tender, a 3.7-metre rescue boat, and existing onboard equipment and inventory, giving the next owner a more immediate operational starting point.
Ownership Opportunity
This 54-metre Benetti offers a strong mix of pedigree build quality, long-range capability, high guest comfort, and serious charter potential. For buyers seeking a steel-hulled custom yacht with global cruising credentials, substantial volume, elegant styling, and a well-rounded technical package, she represents a highly credible and desirable acquisition in the upper end of the modern luxury yacht market.
