Nabila is one of the most historically significant Benetti yachts. Benetti's official Heritage page records her as an 86-metre yacht launched in 1980 and describes her as the first and largest gigayacht ever built at the time. The same source notes her association with Adnan Khashoggi and her later cultural visibility through the James Bond film Never Say Never Again and Queen's song Khashoggi's Ship. She is listed here as a landmark Benetti heritage yacht.

Sources, assumptions and methodology
Indicative SYG estimate. Value basis: Length-and-age model using length. Central annual OPEX uses the established 14% of estimated yacht value fallback, adjusted for yacht age where available. Low and high cases reflect utilisation, condition, crewing, fuel, berthing and maintenance uncertainty. Capital reserve is shown separately from routine OPEX. Figures must be replaced or upgraded when reported accounts, invoices, court records or other yacht-specific evidence is available.

Financial figures may include reported expenditure, source-derived calculations and indicative estimates. Estimated figures are not audited accounts, quotations or financial advice.

How to read this history:
Superyacht Guide estimates,
brokerage asking prices and
documented transaction values are
stored as separate record types.
The first baseline record marks the
beginning of permanent Superyacht
Guide value-history tracking; the
absence of an earlier record does
not mean the yacht had no earlier
market value or sale history.
