The Benetti Seasense is a luxurious 67-meter superyacht that epitomizes elegance and functionality. Designed by the Italian yacht builder Benetti in collaboration with renowned designers, Seasense delivers both a robust exterior and a tranquil, indulgent interior. The yacht’s exterior, crafted by Dutch designer Cor D. Rover, captures an exquisite blend of sleek lines and grand proportions, ensuring it stands out in any harbor. Seasense is designed to maximize outdoor spaces, with its name reflecting the concept of enabling a seamless connection to the sea. Its sprawling decks and expansive open areas are carefully laid out to provide guests with a close, uninterrupted relationship with the water.
Inside, Seasense showcases the work of Italian designers AREA, who have crafted interiors with understated luxury and modern elegance. The interior spaces are tastefully furnished and reflect a contemporary, sophisticated ambiance. The main salon, spacious yet cozy, leads to expansive guest areas and lounging spaces that allow for both intimate gatherings and larger parties. One of the yacht's defining features is its vast, versatile deck space, including a substantial pool deck that emphasizes the yacht’s focus on outdoor enjoyment. The large pool deck has multiple lounging areas, a full-sized pool, and even a dedicated cinema space for watching films under the stars.
Performance-wise, the Benetti Seasense is built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, powered by twin MTU engines that grant it a range of over 5,000 nautical miles, making it perfect for transatlantic journeys. It cruises comfortably at 15 knots, but can reach a top speed of 16 knots when required. This combination of power and efficiency ensures Seasense is as functional as it is beautiful. With an emphasis on both entertainment and tranquility, Seasense is not only a superyacht but a floating sanctuary, bringing luxury, relaxation, and adventure to all who step aboard.
