Benetti has launched two of its Fast 125 superyachts just days apart in Viareggio: BF105, My Way&nbsp;and BF106, Charade,&nbsp;which are the fifth and sixth model units built to date. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/32310/image/large-8dbe958956da51104554196cac195cd5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/32310">Both My Way&nbsp;and Charade measure 38.1 metres with a beam of 8.23 metres and are built in composite materials and carbon fibre. They are also fitted with the Azipull Carbon 65 (AZP C65) propulsion system developed with Rolls Royce.&nbsp;Both superyachts feature sporty exteriors designed by Stefano Righini, while their interiors are by the British design studio RWD. As for these interiors, both yachts are fitted out with the Air configuration, which is the most contemporary of the interior options offered by Benetti for new owners.&nbsp;The layout of the two yachts extends over four decks, which provide the space for the owner's suite, four VIP cabins, a lounge with indoor dining area on the main deck and a small lounge located on the upper deck. Guests can choose between two swimming pools, one of which is located on the sun deck and another larger, made-to-measure one in the bow on the upper deck. Up to 10 guests can be accommodated on board.&nbsp;In addition, the two yachts also share the same D2P Displacement to Planing hull with wave piercer, which combines the benefits of a displacement hull at low speeds with those of a high performance planing hull.&nbsp;Designed by Pierluigi Ausonio with the Azimut Benetti Research and Development centre, this technology delivers reduced consumption at cruising speed and a top speed of over 20 knots, with both yachts reaching a maximum speed of 22 knots and cruising comfortably at 17.5 knots.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/32309/image/large-7148ed5a8a814611bf36b3582dce9e3c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/32309">My Way&nbsp;and Charade&nbsp;are both expected to be delivered to their new owners before summer.Prior to My Way&nbsp;and Charade,&nbsp;the previous four Fast 125 units delivered were<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5745" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iron Man38.1m (125'0&quot;)">&nbsp;Iron Man</a>,&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5746" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Constance Joy38.1m (125'0&quot;)">Constance Joy</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5747" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Skyler38.1m (125'0&quot;)">Skyler</a>and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5748" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lejos 338.1m (125'0&quot;)">Lejos3.</a>

On the international day of love, we celebrate by taking a look at five of our favourite yachts finished in the colour of romance.Ipanema<img src="/uploads/store/photo/9055/image/large-c420d54c56f2b36377b0cf963d0f92ef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/9055"> The concept was born in 2012 known as the M50 model created for the Italian shipyard Mondo Marine. The dynamic and sporty exterior gives the impression that Ipanema is constantly moving at speed, even while relaxing at anchor with a Ferrari red finish to match.Doryan<img src="/uploads/store/photo/23452/image/large-0bff4817af2f50703f35eb979db3feaf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/23452"> At 35.5 metres, Doryan is a great example of the successful formula of cooperations between Baltic Yachts, Nauta Design for all interiors and Judel/Vrolijk &amp; Co. Her fresh exterior colour resembles the playful spirit on board, but also her performance capabilities which are second to none.Forever One<img src="/uploads/store/photo/12907/image/large-2a0078260a1454835ae1151b6da6755d.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/12907"> ISA Yachts’ custom displacement superyacht Forever One was delivered in 2014.

The Europa 100 vessel is a state of the art triple deck vessel. It is driven by two Caterpillar C32 1725BHP engines, giving Red Pearl a top speed of 23 knots.

Our favourite red superyachts on Valentine’s Day

The fourth addition to Benetti’s Fast 125 line of motor yachts has been handed over to its owner. The 38.1-metre Lejos 3 will now set off on an exciting route across Mediterranean waters for the remainder of the summer season during which she is expected to cover some 2,700 nautical miles.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166401/image/large-3b9ac0488af2d6ec3512c21d59296029.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166401">

As with her three older sisters (Ironman, Constance Joy and Skyler), Lejos 3 is based on Benetti’s Displacement 2 Planning hull form designed by Pierluigi Ausonio. The wave piercer hull allows the yacht to operate with increased efficiency at low displacement speeds as well as during higher planing speeds. She is capable of reaching a top speed of 22 knots through the use of a new Azipull Cabin propulsion system designed by Rolls Roys especially for the Fast 125.

Inside, RWD’s Air configuration, the most contemporary out of Benetti’s three interior decoration variants, was selected by the owner. Lejos 3 comes with a five-cabin layout with four VIP staterooms on the lower deck and a master suite on the main deck.

Benetti Fast 125 superyacht Lejos 3 delivered

Italian shipyard Benetti has announced the deliveries of the second and third unit of their Benetti Fast 125 range of superyachts: Skyler and Constance Joy. The Fast 125’ Constance Joy was the second Fast 125’ to be sold since the line was launched earlier this year, and stands out from the crowd with a characteristic red hull.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165967/image/large-ceaa50c15aee6c014e1b35e9086bbef1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165967">

Stefano Righini is responsible for the sporty exterior of both vessels, with Redman Whiteley Dixon undertaking their interior design. The interior of Skyler, Benetti reports, is based on the “Air” configuration, the most modern and minimal of the three interior style options that Benetti offers to their Fast 125’ owners.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165968/image/large-6be54511173889c7ee0cadb19f25fc82.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165968">

Skyler and Constance Joy share Benetti’s D2P Displacement to Planing hull form with wave piercer bow, allowing the owner to use the yacht in displacement mode with low fuel consumption at low speeds and in planning mode at higher speeds.

Skyler will be officially presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival from 12th - 17th September.

Two Benetti Fast 125 superyachts delivered

Italian shipyard Benetti launched their latest 38.1-metre superyacht from the yard’s facilities in Viareggio two days ago. Named Lejos 3, she is the fourth vessel of the brand’s Fast 125 line and will be delivered to her new owner in the coming months.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165576/image/large-0bd01bfaff69e8f766fbf9e9a069052d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165576">

Divided across four decks, she features four VIP cabins, an owner’s suite, a saloon/dining area on the main deck and another smaller living area on the upper deck. The sun deck is designed entirely for the entertainment of guests, who have the luxury of enjoying the sun deck swimming pool or the larger custom pool in the bow of the upper deck.

The sleek, sporty exteriors are designed by Stefano Righini, with interior design by Redman Whiteley Dixon. These interiors are based on Benetti's Air configuration, the most contemporary of the three interior decoration options (Air, Land and Sea) offered to Benetti Fast 125’ owners.

The launch of Lejos 3 comes just a few days after the market debut of Skyler, the third unit in the series, that joins Ironman and Constance Joy, the first and second hull of the Fast 125’ line.

Benetti is one of the prestigious Partners of <a href="https://www.superyachtgallery.com/">SuperYacht Gallery</a> from 1 - 3 June in London’s iconic Saatchi Gallery. Benetti will be hosting a fascinating seminar on Saturday 3rd June: “The Challenge: Exceeding Owner's Expectations”. <a href="https://www.superyachtgallery.com/tickets/">Book your ticket</a> now to avoid disappointment.

Benetti launches new 38m superyacht Lejos 3

Built as the third unit in Benetti’s Fast range after Iron Man and Constance Joy, the new 38.1-metre motor yacht Skyler has been undergoing sea trials since her launch and will be ready for handover to her owner next month. The yacht made her industry premier this week at the Versilia Yachting Rendezvous in Viareggio.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165399/image/large-8a4d3281b1032986a3d1db5fb2d89c0b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165399">

Skyler is the first in the range to be finished in an all-white exterior which will set her apart from her two sisters. Stefano Righini is the designer behind the sporty exterior which, as the previous units, is built with a carbon composite superstructure and GRP hull. Benetti’s Displacement to Planing, or D2P, hull form ensures a smooth ride at sea and delivers excellent efficiency rates at a wide range of speeds. The wave piercing helps Skyler to reach a top speed of 22 knots.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165400/image/large-5a7ae86ab79043789bd393e56e3707da.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165400">

Designed for spending days at anchor off some of the most beautiful yachting hotspots in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, Skyler is perfectly equipped for the sun and water-loving yacht owner. Balconies on both the main and upper decks truly make her the ideal platform to enjoy the comforts of her stylish interior with a real sense being at sea. An innovative ‘stay on spot’ feature allows Skyler to remain in position over sensitive marine areas without the use of an anchor by activating her thrusters and Azipull pods by Rolls Royce.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165401/image/large-bc05b2c1000843c99cd5d080dcdac42b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165401">

“Efficient and lightweight propulsion is key to reducing the environmental impact of a modern yacht,” said Vincenzo Poerio, Benetti CEO. “We have been working closely with Rolls-Royce on a journey towards an optimised propulsion system for our new line of megayachts. The successful result of this collaboration has been confirmed: Skyler is the third unit of this series to be built and other three are under construction”.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165402/image/large-60625eb44a7f463527a9bb509959a6b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165402">

Skyler’s custom interior is by the design wizards at Redman Whiteley Dixon, whose fresh and vibrant ‘Air’ configuration was selected for this project. The clean and contemporary environment is finshed with precious natural materials and a soothing colour scheme to suit her experienced owner’s lifestyle.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165403/image/large-bbaef0f9fcfe579499774de182e6aabd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165403">

A five-cabin layout accommodates the 12 guests in two VIP staterooms, a double, and a twin cabin on the lower deck. A new propulsion system taking up less space means more room for guests down stairs, and an even more silent environment. The master suite is, like many yachts in this size range, located forward on the main deck where two self-operating balconies allows the owners to step outside in the morning through a push of a button.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165404/image/large-980b2e5646c5f2a7669fa9ceb0555d83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165404">

Powered by twin MTU (12V 2000 M94) 2,636 hp diesel engines and propelled by her two Azipulls, Skyler is capable of a top speed of 22 knots, and comfortably cruises at 17.5 knots. With a 30,000-litre fuel capacity she has a maximum range of 1.540 nautical miles at 12 knots, a considerably wider range compared to the standard of the Fast 125’ series. Her water tanks.

First look: Benetti’s new 38m Skyler ready for delivery

Benetti is attending the annual Cannes Yachting festival for the second time with a new model in its Vivace 125 line of superyachts. Constance Joy, hull number two in this series, is seen for the first time here in Cannes this week after being launched by the shipyard in August.

The bright-red Benetti follows in the footsteps of the 38.5-metre Iron Man which was unveiled at the same event last year. The standard Vivace 125 layout accommodates up to 10 guests over several well-appointed cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite located forward on the main deck. A crew of eight are also accommodated for on board.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/161835/image/large-a90f80da458fe0eaf8b4f781703e2a0e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/161835">

Six units in the Vivace 125 line has been sold so far.

Live from Cannes: Ferrari-red Benetti Constance Joy delivered

Arcon Yachts has announced that they have signed a new contract for the build of a new Benetti Vivace 125 superyacht. Measuring 38.1 metres, she is the sixth hull in the Italian shipyard’s range, with the first, Iron Man, making her debut at the Yachting Festival de Festival 2015. Arcon Yachts will act as project manager throughout her build.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/159865/image/large-9b82430e8bb7c7d8be2c0373f749f318.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/159865">

The standard Vivace 125 layout accommodates up to 10 guests over several well-appointed cabins, including a full beam owner’s suite located forward on the main deck. A crew of eight are also accommodated for on board.

She is equipped with an innovative series of azipod transmissions designed by Rolls-Royce for Benetti, called carbon Azipull 65C pods. The yacht features a displacement planing hull, called D2P, equipped with wave piercer. The hull was specifically designed for the Rolls-Royce propulsion pod, by optimising the stern tunnel thrusters. The D2P hull enables the Fast Displacement series to reach higher speeds, or to cruise in displacement mode at an economical speed with a greater range.

The second Vivace 125 hull is scheduled to be launched soon, with another three hulls currently under construction. Arcon Yachts reports that the latest hull is scheduled to be launched in November 2017.
