BENETTI CHOOSES THE 2019 PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW TO DISPLAY AS A WORLD PREMIERE M/Y “ELALDREA+”

The Tuscan Shipyard will be showing for the first time ever FB702 “Elaldrea+”, yacht with a classic and timeless style. The flowing exterior lines of this custom 49-meter mega yacht have been designed by Argentinian architect Horacio Bozzo, while the interiors are the work of the Benetti Style Department. Accompanying “Elaldrea+” to Palm Beach is the fourth Fast 125 unit built, “Lejos3”, a 38-meter superyacht featuring the innovative D2P_Displacement to Planing®hull and fitted with the Azipull Carbon 65 propulsion system, developed in partnership with Rolls Royce. The interiors of “Lejos3” are by UK-based design firm RWD and the exteriors are by Stefano Righini. “Returning twice to America in little more than a month is a strategically important decision for Benetti”, explained CEO Franco Fusignani . “America is one of the world’s most important yachting markets and many of our yachts spend most of the year there. What is more North, Central and South American customers appreciate the combination of tradition, innovative technology and Made in Italy style for which Benetti is a worthy ambassador”. Benetti will be showing two iconic superyachts under the Florida sun: “Elaldrea + ”, a 49-meter custom displacement yacht with an aluminium superstructure and a steel hull, and “Lejos 3 ” the fourth unit built of the Fast 125 Class category yacht, of which seven units have already been launched. “Elaldrea + ” is an elegant yacht with value trim in polished black walnut wood and silk panelling on the walls. Fabrics were chosen among brands like Dedar, Armani and Loro Piana. Purity and minimalism of the exterior styling of “Elaldrea + ” express the spirit embodied by the project and are the work of architect Horacio Bozzo , while the interiors are by the Benetti Style Department. The layout of the yacht, spread across four decks, features a generous 115-square-meter flybridge with swimming pool as well as a spacious beach club with air conditioning, sofa, TV, bar and sauna. For the main lounge, the owner has chosen creations by Poltrona Frau, Giorgetti and Arketipo to celebrate Made in Italy excellence, while the dining area floors are in Afyon marble trimmed with Sahara noir marble. Amidships on the same deck is a galley complete with two wine cellars.
