The Benetti Freedom is a bespoke 70-meter superyacht that redefines luxury at sea. Built by the renowned Italian shipyard Benetti and delivered to her discerning owner, entertainer and entrepreneur Roberto Cavalli, this custom masterpiece embodies personal expression, privacy, and sophistication.
Her sleek exterior, designed in collaboration with Cavalli himself and naval architect Giorgio M. Cassetta, exudes a dynamic, almost futuristic profile, featuring bold lines, dark metallic tones, and expansive glass. The design blends aggressive styling with graceful curves, capturing attention in every port.
Inside, the Freedom offers an intimate yet opulent atmosphere. Accommodating up to 12 guests in 6 lavish cabins, she features a master suite with panoramic views and direct access to a private terrace. The interior is richly adorned with exotic materials, custom furnishings, and dramatic lighting—reflecting Cavalli’s signature fashion-forward taste.
Performance is equally impressive: equipped with three MTU engines, the Benetti Freedom achieves a top speed of 28 knots—extraordinary for a vessel of her size. Her compact draft and high cruising speed make her ideal for swift island-hopping or stylish coastal cruising.
Whether you're admiring her bold aesthetics or enjoying the sheer speed and comfort onboard, the Benetti Freedom is a statement of individuality and maritime excellence—designed for those who don’t just sail, but make waves.
