BENETTI DELIVERS THE SIXTH FAST 125’ UNIT, M/Y “CHARADE”

Featuring the innovative D2P_Displacement to Planing® hull, “Charade” is also fitted with the Azipull Carbon 65 propulsion system developed in partnership with Rolls Royce. On June 25, less than three months since its launch, the sixth unit in the Fast 125’ category, M/Y “Charade”, was delivered to the owner. Speed associated with comfort is the guiding thread running through all Fast 125’ models and “Charade” too is fitted with powerful Azipull Carbon 65 thrusters (AZP 65) . This highly efficient and reliable propulsion system is also extremely lightweight because of the extensive use of composite materials. Developed in partnership with Rolls Royce, the innovative system delivers excellent performance in terms of both manoeuvrability and speed (the top speed is 24 knots). The AZP 65 thrusters reduce the weight of the yacht’s propulsion system, as well as offer even quieter running and better distribution of onboard spaces. Being placed right at the stern, they allow the garage to be inserted between the engine room and the guest cabins for better insulation against noise and vibration. The sporty, flowing exterior lines are designed by Stefano Righini , while the interior decor by renowned UK-based design firm RWD was enriched during construction with contributions from both the owner’s and the shipyard’s team, working in close collaboration. There are three possible configurations for Fast 125’ models, Air, Land and Sea, and “Charade” is fitted out with the Air option, the more contemporary of the three, featuring a modern design with clean, simple lines embellished by polished metal accents . In fact, steel is used for the frames of both the numerous works of art on board, chosen and supplied by the owner, and for the televisions and bedheads. The carpet, which is of a different colour in each setting, has a circle leitmotif, like the decorations on the glass surfaces, balustrades and shower doors. All the ceilings are clad in majilite and leather. The four guest cabins are located on the Lower Deck: two symmetrically-positioned VIP cabins with double beds and bathrooms decorated with varieties of white marble, and two guest cabins with sliding and one with pullman bed. Forward on the Main Deck is the full-beam owner’s cabin .
