Motor Yachts / ALFA /

ALFA marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Benetti success story. Following the launch of the prestigious 50-meter yacht Amnesia, the Viareggio shipyard is inaugurating a line of 53-meter displacement motor yachts that are destined to give even more pleasure. Here, a vessel with unmistakable style has indeed been created, thanks to the harmony of its outer contours and the large oval windows, designed by Stefano Natucci, which are complemented by elegant interior design of the architect Francois Zuretti. ALFA is head and shoulders above the rest with warm, welcoming atmosphere, stemming from the skilful color combinations of Tanganyika wood and myrtle burl paneling, which set off the pale lacquered ceilings. The original decorative motif of a wave within the light, handmade carpets, recurs as the principal theme throughout the boat, almost as if to emphasize the continuous total pleasure of experiencing the sea aboard the new ALFA. Asumptious lobby on the main deck, with an 'emerald pearl' marble floor and gilt inlays, leads to the prestigious owner's suite, comprising a private office and small sitting room with a sliding door that leads to the bedroom. The quest area on the lower deck is notable for the colors of the fabrics and panels gray and rose silk for the two double cabins, fitted with wardrobes and bathrooms with bathtubs red and sky blue silk for the two single cabins. Everything has been designed to offer 12 people top-level hospitality and comfort during long ocean cruises. There are plenty of opportunities for leisure in the large and well lit sky lounge, a piano and a giant screen measuring 2 m x 1.5 m offer the owner and his guests enjoyable evenings, furthermore, the sky lounge has a well equipped service room with a wine cellar and space for 100 bottles of vintage wine and champagne.
