The Benetti Sovereign is a masterpiece of Italian yacht craftsmanship, combining classic design with modern luxury. Built by the prestigious Benetti shipyard, this 55-meter (180-foot) motor yacht exudes timeless elegance, exceptional comfort, and world-class performance. With a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the Sovereign offers robust construction paired with refined aesthetics.
Accommodating up to 12 guests across 6 opulent staterooms—including a full-beam master suite—the yacht is designed for both privacy and indulgence. The interiors feature rich woods, plush fabrics, and fine marble detailing, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Expansive deck areas provide multiple zones for sunbathing, dining, and entertaining, including a spacious sundeck with Jacuzzi, a beach club, and alfresco lounges.
Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, the Sovereign boasts a top speed of 15.5 knots and a cruising range of over 4,000 nautical miles, making her ideal for extended voyages. With a professional crew of 13, every journey aboard is defined by impeccable service and attention to detail.
Whether anchored in the Caribbean or cruising the Mediterranean, the Benetti Sovereign offers a yachting experience that is both grand and intimate—a true icon of luxury at sea.
