Benetti have announced the sale of hull number one of their 37-metre Motopanfilo series of yachts, which is still under construction. Inspired by the first luxury motor yachts of the 1960s, the all-new Benetti Motopanfilo delivers a contemporary twist to timeless predecessors.

The yacht features a bronze metallic painted ribbon defining her bulwarks, as a nod to the historic wooden cap rail characteristic of Benetti’s of the past. The 297 GT Motopanfilo combines large open-plan living with home comforts, and emphasises an indoor-outdoor aesthetic.

A standout feature on the tri-deck motor yacht is the large, curvaceous transom with an extended swim platform to her stern. This gives her an expansive and versatile terrace on the sea for guests to have the ultimate experience on board. The upper deck offers two large seating areas for lounging and formal dining while a Jacuzzi and custom sunbed can be found forward. The sundeck features an oversized sunbed aft and al fresco dining. Her observation deck is a unique feature whereby guests can enjoy uninterrupted views.
