During a gala evening held on December 27 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beijing, Robb Report China named “Spectre” as the winner of the Best of the Best award in the “Yachts over 100 feet” category.
Benetti has once again won over Asian markets with the shipyard’s capabilities, know-how and craftsmen, confirming the brand’s place on the international scene as a leading builder of yachts that are both groundbreaking and proud heirs to a great tradition.
This new success for “Spectre” can be attributed to the sophisticated exterior design by Giorgio M. Cassetta, who has strived to reconcile the yacht’s sporty character with her sheer size, and also to the style of the interiors, which are given a very modern feel by steel detailing and sculpted glass, and are designed by Benetti’s Interior Style Department. The award also takes into consideration the yacht’s sporty performance, the cutting-edge hull technology designed by Mulder Design and the Total Ride Control® system from Naiad Dynamics.
One of the many striking things about this exclusive yacht is the novel “High Speed Cruising Hull” created by famous Dutch firm Mulder Design to deliver incredible performance. As well as a range of 6,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots, “Spectre” has a top speed of 21.2 knots, or 30% faster than a traditional displacement hull. Also contributing to the stunning performance of “Spectre”, in addition to the hull, is the Total Ride Control® system by Naiad Dynamics1, which significantly improves cruising stability and onboard comfort using two roll stabilizing fins, two forward pitch control canards and three independently controlled stern interceptor blades.
Benetti is proud to receive this award that confirms the brand’s success and pays tribute to the work of everyone who contributes their long standing experience and an overriding passion for the sea and beauty to the process of building unique, cutting-edge yachts.
