The latest superyacht from Italian yard Benetti has been launched in the shape of the 47-meter Bacchanal.
The Mexican owner has previously owned a Benetti classic superyacht. The steel hull and aluminum structure of the Bacchanal, formerly known as FB703, has elegant, understated exterior lines from the yard's designers.
The interior has been designed by the firm alongside Mauricio Gómez de Tuddo, who was selected by the owner.
The Bacchanal has now been handed over to her owner after a ceremony held in the boatyard at Viareggio.
The gross tonnage of the mega yacht is nearly 440 tonnes, and the draught is 2.32-meters.
'One of the best yachts in the world.'
The yacht's proud owner said: "After my first Benetti in 2015, I came back to work with a team that, in my opinion, have realized one of the best yachts in the world. I'm happy that everything is the result of a masterfully orchestrated teamwork, and all my ideas and wishes were welcomed."
The interior design has a strong Italian influence and utilizes various brands, including Flexform, Rimadesio, and Giorgetti.
The Bacchanal consists of four decks and all feature a uniform approach, as was requested by her owner, that effectively cancel out the borders between the exterior and interior of the yacht.
There are six cabins, along with the owner's, that offer accommodation for up to 12 people, and there are five cabins for the seven crew members.
Desire for continuity
The desire for continuity is best illustrated on the main deck where the owner's full-beam cabin and private study is situated along with an 'in and out' veranda in the stern that has a frameless sliding glass door.
The main lounge, dining area, and cockpit offer a single floodlit area that has been designed to give an airy feel when occupied.
The lower deck features a night area for guests, including two guest and two VIP cabins that are all fitted with electrically-operated Venetian blinds.
A third VIP cabin, along with the captain's cabin, is located on the upper deck along with the yacht's wheelhouse and outdoor and indoor lounge areas.
There's a custom-built swimming pool in the sun deck's bow area and a table that can seat up to 12 people. There's also a dumb waiter installed to connect all decks from the sun deck to the main deck to boost the functionality of every area available on the superyacht.
Benetti has added a 3D sonar system as part of the safety equipment installation to help identify obstacles up to 500 meters from the yacht.
The yacht's top speed is 15.8 knots, and she has a range of 5,900 miles at 10 knots, so she is capable of making transatlantic crossings.
