Benetti has recently launched a custom 67-meter yacht called FB285NK, which showcases their dedication to innovation and design. This unique vessel is the result of a collaboration between Benetti, Cassetta Yacht Designers, and the owners themselves.

The FB285NK's signature circular side windows, each almost 2 meters in diameter, add to the design's elegance and ensure a flood of natural light into the yacht's interiors.
