A timeless expression of Italian yacht craftsmanship, this vessel is a rare gem—one of only five Benetti 26D models ever built. Launched in 1973, this gentleman’s yacht encapsulates classic yachting elegance, reimagined for contemporary cruising with thoughtful enhancements and a meticulous refit completed between 2021 and 2022. Powered by twin GM Detroit Diesel engines (overhauled in 2022), it offers reliable performance with low engine hours, new batteries installed in February 2025, and a robust 2,800-nautical-mile range at 10.5 knots. Enhanced with Koopnautic fin stabilizers and an Alfa Laval fuel polisher, this yacht ensures smooth, eco-conscious voyages through the Philippines’ stunning archipelago.
The exterior is a masterpiece of form and function. The aft cockpit, shaded beneath the flybridge deck, is a serene haven for outdoor dining with a circular table and flexible seating. The flybridge features a fixed metal-frame sun awning and a removable bimini aft, paired with recently re-caulked and refinished teak decks that exude traditional yachting charm. Designed by Luca Catino, the interior balances classic elegance with modern functionality. Refitted in 2022 by the owner’s wife, the bright saloon boasts large windows, a dining table for six (extendable to eight), and a cozy lounge with an L-shaped sofa, armchair, pouf, and 65” television. A spacious, well-ventilated galley is equipped with modern appliances, including a full-size refrigerator, induction cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and washer-dryer unit.
This yacht accommodates up to eight guests in four en-suite cabins: a generous master stateroom with a double bed and three twin-berth guest cabins, each with private bathrooms and televisions. Crew quarters for four are independently accessed, ensuring guest privacy. With no prior charter history and maintained by a dedicated full-time crew, this privately owned yacht is primed for bespoke adventures.
