Benetti Diamonds Are Forever is a stunning, custom-built superyacht that exemplifies Italian craftsmanship, luxury, and elegance. Launched in 2011 by the renowned shipyard Benetti, this 60-meter (197-foot) steel-hulled vessel combines timeless design with cutting-edge technology, creating an exceptional experience on the water.
The exterior, designed by Benetti’s in-house team, features sleek, modern lines and expansive deck spaces. With multiple outdoor lounges, a sundeck jacuzzi, and an alfresco dining area, the yacht offers panoramic views and ultimate relaxation.
Inside, Diamonds Are Forever boasts a lavish interior by Evan K. Marshall, characterized by opulent materials, intricate detailing, and a warm, classic style. The yacht accommodates up to 12 guests in six luxurious cabins, including a full-beam master suite with a private study and his-and-hers bathrooms, and a VIP suite of equal grandeur.
Amenities include a fully equipped gym, elevator servicing all decks, beach club, and a range of water toys and tenders. With a crew of 15, service aboard is discreet and impeccable.
Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, Diamonds Are Forever reaches a top speed of 16 knots and has a range of 4,800 nautical miles, making her ideal for long-distance cruising in absolute comfort and style.
