The Lady Roxanne is a timeless classic built by the esteemed Italian shipyard Benetti. Measuring approximately 34 meters (112 feet) in length, this motor yacht combines traditional elegance with modern comfort. Originally launched in 1977 and meticulously refitted over the years, Lady Roxanne offers a rich blend of vintage charm and updated luxury.
Her steel hull and aluminum superstructure provide a strong, stable cruising experience, while her spacious layout accommodates up to 10 guests in 5 well-appointed cabins. The interior features warm woods, plush furnishings, and a sophisticated nautical ambiance. Outside, ample deck space allows for alfresco dining, sunbathing, and enjoying panoramic views of the sea.
Powered by twin diesel engines, Lady Roxanne cruises comfortably at around 12 knots, making her ideal for relaxed voyages along the Mediterranean or other serene coastal waters. With a dedicated crew and a reputation for both style and reliability, Lady Roxanne remains a distinguished example of Benetti's craftsmanship and attention to detail.
