Benetti Crystal 140 superyacht has been launched. 42m Equus made a splash during an official ceremony, which was attended by her experienced European owner and his friends.
Fabio Ermetto, Benetti CCO, comments:
Her launch once again confirms the success of the semi-custom Crystal 140' model, surely the most spacious yacht in her category. This strong point, coupled with timeless design and a quality and level of comfort unique for her category, are the perfect mix for this design. And thanks to our order backlog we are able to offer exceptionally rapid delivery times using our “on-spec” system
Equus' interiors, originally created by François Zuretti, were customized by the Benetti in house design team in collaboration with the owner’s designer Polly Sturgess (POD Interior Style) who personally created the decorative detailing. The interior is characterized by an African mood, which reflects the family’s passion for Africa and polo. Decorative panels in the living area imitate zebra skins, while all the door and cupboard handles are in dark woven leather.

The superyacht's vast sun deck includes a large area towards the stern boasting settees and lounge chairs, while the Jacuzzi has been moved forward. The same deck hosts a TV screen for entertainment and relaxation.
The main deck features a spacious saloon without tables. The owner's suite is forward and includes a study, walk-in closet, bathroom suite and bedroom with a 180° panorama of the sea.
Benetti is currently working on the hull number 7 of the same series, which is scheduled for delivery in December 2016.
