Benetti M/Y Spectre and Azimut Grande 25 Metri win the Best of the Best Awards 2019

M/Y “Spectre” is a 69-meter mega yacht that symbolises Made in Italy excellence. The exteriors are designed by Giorgio M. Cassetta and the interiors by the Benetti Interior Style Department. M/Y “Spectre” stands out for its sporty performance, hull technology by Mulder Design, and Total Ride Control® by Naiad Dynamics1. Azimut Grande 25 M, presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival last September, was awarded the highly sought after prize for the elegant design of the interiors by Achille Salvagni and the roomy, versatile outdoor deck areas designed by Stefano Righini. In Azimut|Benetti Group’s 50th anniversary year, the company established in 1969 by Paolo Vitelli triumphs once again, with two yachts winning “Best of the Best” prizes awarded by the US edition of the Robb Report, the prestigious magazine with an authoritative voice in the luxury industry. M/Y “Spectre”, a custom-built 69-meter yacht, wins the prize in the “Best of the Best: Motor Yachts from 200 to 300 feet” category. This is the third top international award presented to M/Y “Spectre” (the previous two were in Asia and Europe), testifying to how this outstanding yacht continues to receive praise for her high build quality, technology, superior performance and cruising comfort. Build with the highest quality and attention to details typical of Made in Italy, M/Y Spectre is a state of the art yacht with an innovative layout, fast, light and highly technological. One of the winning features of “Spectre” is, in fact, her “High Speed Cruising Hull”, designed by Dutch firm Mulder Design, which delivers incredible performance by significantly reducing the total weight. The top speed of 21.2 knots is 30% faster than a conventional displacement hull and the yacht has a range of 6,500 nautical miles at a speed of 12 knots. “Spectre” also features innovative Total Ride Control® technology by Naiad Dynamics1, significantly improving cruising stability and onboard comfort. The sporty exteriors by Giorgio M. Cassetta accommodate generous interiors, in a dialogue characterised by influence without imposition.
