Benetti Panthera is a 47-meter (154-foot) superyacht built by the renowned Italian shipyard Benetti in 2013. As part of the Benetti 500 series, Panthera embodies sleek Italian design, advanced engineering, and luxurious comfort. With a streamlined aluminum hull and superstructure, she reaches a top speed of 24 knots, offering impressive performance alongside graceful aesthetics.
Her exterior, penned by Stefano Righini, features elegant lines and large panoramic windows that flood the interior with natural light. Inside, the contemporary décor—crafted by Benetti’s in-house design team—blends modern sophistication with understated luxury. Panthera accommodates up to 10 guests in 5 staterooms, including a spacious full-beam master suite, along with quarters for 9 crew members.
Highlights include expansive sunbathing areas, a generous sundeck with a Jacuzzi, and a beach club at the stern with fold-down terraces. Equipped with twin MTU engines and advanced stabilization systems, Panthera offers both high-speed cruising and excellent comfort underway or at anchor.
Whether slicing through the Mediterranean or lounging at anchor in a secluded bay, Benetti Panthera is a bold statement of style, performance, and timeless luxury.
