The Benetti Elena Nueve is a stunning 37-meter (121-foot) motor yacht built by the renowned Italian shipyard Benetti. Launched in 2007 and meticulously maintained, she exemplifies timeless elegance, luxurious comfort, and sophisticated design.
With a sleek exterior by Stefano Righini and a warm, contemporary interior by Zuretti Interior Design, Elena Nueve offers a refined yachting experience. She accommodates up to 12 guests in five sumptuous cabins, including a full-beam master suite, two VIP doubles, and two twin cabins—each with Pullman berths and en-suite facilities.
Ideal for family charters or entertaining, Elena Nueve features expansive deck spaces, a Jacuzzi on the sundeck, alfresco dining areas, and a fully equipped beach club. Her array of water toys—jet skis, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear—ensures fun on the water for all ages.
Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, she cruises comfortably at 13 knots with a top speed of 16 knots, and her stabilizers ensure a smooth ride both at anchor and underway.
Elena Nueve combines Italian style, top-tier performance, and a dedicated crew of seven to deliver an unforgettable charter or private ownership experience.
