The Benetti Vivace 125 is a 125-foot superyacht produced by iconic Italian yacht-building company Benetti Yachts from 2013 to 2018. Super sharp lines are matched by geometric glazing and cutaway gunwales with a jagged, trapezoidal form to give this yacht an inherently futuristic look. Though boasting the sort of size and build of a long-range cruiser this happens to be one of the fastest yachts in its class thanks to an innovative Azipod engine system, while contemporary living spaces establish new industry standards for luxury and style.
This Benetti yacht’s teak-lined flybridge comes with a floating hard-top covering the front half of the deck, keeping guests dining at the table, lounging on the forward sofa, preparing drinks at the wet bar or piloting at the helm shaded at all times. The rear half, meanwhile, is open to the sun, meaning guests can soak up the rays while lying on a sprawling sunpad or enjoying the bubbles at a jacuzzi spa pool with commanding views.
One level down and you will encounter a vast sun-terrace with a casbah-style daybed capable of hosting six guests in supreme comfort, along with a formal al-fresco dining table for ten. Out on the foredeck there is a series of tiered living spaces, comprised of a U-shaped sofa and a pair of sunpads in marine-grade upholstery and another jacuzzi, this time with a more private appeal. Also located on this upper deck is a plush enclosed lounge and a forward wheelhouse for climate-controlled piloting safe from the elements.
If that were not all, the main deck too impresses with outdoor living space. A shaded aft-cockpit features a transom sofa and side steps down to an extending swimming platform with hydraulic function and beach-club dimensions, as well as a tender garage with a rail system capable of hosting the market’s largest water toys. Thanks to an extra side-entry garage capable of holding three more tenders, you can even turn the rear garage into a secluded water-level lounge complete with a wet bar for seaside drinks.
The main-deck salon is a symphony of true Italian style, boasting a rare granite or carpeted sole, steel beams, aluminum tiles, lacquered accents, unexpected dashes of dark leather and surrounds in exotic veneered hardwood. Floor to ceiling glazing frames a space with a trio of custom-built sofas and an elegant dining table where you will share memorable meals with up to twelve guests. A showpiece bulkhead separates this space from a service and galley area where private food preparation is encouraged, while a forward stateroom boasts full-beam dimensions. In here you can expect a king-sized bed, a lounge, a separate office, a walk-in dressing room and one of the finest en-suites double bathroom on the market featuring two sinks and two wet-room showers. Lined in resin-encased stone with black marble highlights, a pale teak sole gives the whole space a spa-like feel.
There are four more en-suite double or twin staterooms on the lower-deck, with guest rooms down here featuring timber-lined closets, work-desks and lavish bathrooms, while a crew quarters for six comes with its own separate facilities and sits up by the bow.
A proprietary Displacement to Planing hull with a wave-piercing entry acts like a stable and efficient expedition yacht at lower speeds, but more like a planing sports cruiser as you pull back on the throttles. A pair of Rolls Royce Azipull 65C pod-drives promote top speeds of up to 22 knots and cruising speeds of approximately 18 knots.
