BENETTI TAKES THE STAGE AT THE CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL 2019 WITH THREE YACHT IN THE CLASS CATEGORY

Three fiberglass Benetti yachts will be exposed at this year’s lavish event. World Premiere for the seventh hull of Delfino 95 M/Y “Aslan”, a 29-meter displacement yacht, and M/Y “Bangadang”, the eighth Fast 125 unit, with 38.1 meters in length that will be presented together with M/Y “Botti”, 35.5 meters yacht and the third Mediterraneo 116. Benetti confirms its presence on the Croisette as a worthy representative of ‘Made in Italy’ tradition and excellence on the Côte d’Azur with a brand-new allure thanks to several sales, deliveries and launches in the Class, Oasis and Custom categories, to the conclusion of the first part of the iconic Giga Season and to the delivery of 108-meter Benetti’s flagship Giga yacht FB275. The Cannes Yachting Festival 2019 is the showcase that opens the 2019/2010 yachting season and this year it shines a spotlight on three yachts in the Class category. M/Y “Aslan” , the seventh Delfino 95 unit, is a 29-meter fiberglass yacht. The exterior design is by Giorgio M. Cassetta and the interiors are by the Benetti Interior Style Department , which has created a design that is heavily inspired by the world of sailing yachts, as desired by the owner. The use of teak is particularly striking and a clear reference to sailing boats. The first thing you notice about “Aslan” is the colour of the hull: a deep blue elegantly set off by a red waterline, two colours also found in the interior decor. The boat’s leitmotiv is its understatement, which taken together with the sophisticated refinement of straightforward design choices delivers a remarkable sense of elegance. The layout covers four decks and all the interiors share the same style, as defined by the colourways and choice of materials, not least in the main salon, where the standout features are two open bookcases. The alternating blue and white colourways, also found in the cabins, set off the carpet and teak with wengé inserts on the floor, providing a perfect foil for the prestige and quality of the sofas and chairs. The owner’s cabin on the Main Deck is bright and airy, with alternating Tanganyika wood and light-coloured leather inserts. The bathroom and its big shower are dominated by the glowing tones of light-coloured teak wood, with Taj Mahal marble used for the floor and shower tray.
