The Benetti Mr. D is a stunning example of Italian yacht craftsmanship, seamlessly blending luxury, performance, and timeless design. Built by the prestigious Benetti shipyard, this custom 60-meter (197-foot) superyacht offers an exceptional experience for discerning travelers and yacht enthusiasts alike.
With an exterior designed by Stefano Natucci and a warm, classic interior styled by Zuretti Interior Design, Mr. D boasts generous living spaces across multiple decks. The yacht accommodates up to 12 guests in six lavish staterooms, including a spacious master suite, VIP cabins, and additional guest rooms—all with ensuite bathrooms and sophisticated décor.
Mr. D offers a wide array of amenities, including a full-beam sky lounge, a sun deck with jacuzzi and bar, and multiple indoor and outdoor dining options. Guests can enjoy a beach club, a fully-equipped gym, and a range of water toys for fun at sea.
Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, Mr. D cruises comfortably at 15 knots with a range of over 5,000 nautical miles, ensuring both performance and long-range cruising capability.
Whether hosting elegant gatherings or enjoying tranquil retreats, the Benetti Mr. D delivers a superlative yachting experience marked by style, comfort, and sophistication.
