There are loyal customers, and then there are really loyal customers. You can’t get much more loyal than the owner of Domani. This is the fifth megayacht he and Benetti have built together over about 20 years.
This same buyer has stepped up in size over those years, too. For example, 11 years ago, he took delivery of a Benetti Classic 115. A Benetti Classic 121 followed in 2011. All of the yachts have been christened Domani as well.
The new Domani is 148 feet (45 meters) LOA. She’s a custom project, with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. (You might recall that Benetti has all-composite yachts in the same size range. Those are part of its semi-custom offerings.) The build time was shorter than usual, despite her being custom, since the yard based her on an existing technical platform. Benetti has not revealed how much time was saved, however.
Unfortunately, Benetti is keeping most details about Domani close to the vest for now. These include the interior configuration and decor highlights. We do know that the master suite has a fold-down balcony, and the suite itself is full beam. There’s also a skylounge with full-beam (nearly 26 feet, or 8 meters) sliding-glass doors, for an indoor-outdoor effect.
Domani bears styling by Benetti’s own design department. That same department joined forces with Carlo Galeazzi for the general arrangement. Of course, the owner made special requests; he further brought his own design team into the equation.
Benetti plans to deliver Domani in June.
