The Benetti Vica is a 55-meter (180 ft) luxury motor yacht that exemplifies Italian craftsmanship, elegant design, and bespoke comfort. Built by the renowned Benetti shipyard in 2016, Vica blends classic styling with contemporary performance. Her sleek exterior lines, designed by Benetti, are complemented by a custom interior created by the acclaimed team at Andrée Putman, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere with a timeless touch.
She accommodates up to 12 guests in six luxurious cabins, including a full-beam master suite on the main deck. Every space aboard Vica has been designed for relaxation and entertainment—from her expansive sun deck with Jacuzzi and bar, to the serene beach club and spacious aft deck ideal for al fresco dining.
Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, Vica cruises comfortably at 14 knots with a top speed of 15.5 knots and a transatlantic range of over 5,000 nautical miles. With zero-speed stabilizers and a dedicated crew of 13, she ensures a smooth and indulgent experience both at anchor and underway.
Whether you’re exploring the Mediterranean or crossing oceans, the Benetti Vica delivers the perfect balance of performance, luxury, and style.
