Another milestone in the construction of M/Y Alkhor

70-meter luxury superyacht by Benetti

Construction work continues on the new 70-meter FB273 M/Y Alkhor designed by Benetti: last August, at the Livorno shipyard, the steel and aluminium hull and superstructure were joined on this full custom superyacht that will be launched in the summer of 2019. Developed on 6 decks, M/Y Alkhor presents a layout featuring 6 double guest cabins and an owner suite, with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces for socialising and privacy. The exteriors, based on a concept by the shipyard’s technical office, offer a large swimming pool in the bow area on the Main Deck and ample sunbathing areas. The Sky Deck houses a jacuzzi whose glass floor serves as a skylight for the stairwell and the elevator that connects all the decks, while an open air dining area occupies about 60 square meters in the stern of the Sun Deck.

Other entertainment areas are planned for the Main Deck, which has a huge full beam dining space and a 105 square meter living room with various sofas, armchairs and a screening area. The guest night area, consisting of six double cabins, will be on the Lower Deck. Two 2,400 hp Caterpillar engines will give the yacht a range of 5,000 nautical miles at its low consumption speed of 12 knots, while the top speed will be roughly 16 knots. With the engines at 85% of full load, the speed will be 15 knots. Like the other mega yachts built by the shipyard, the level of noise and vibration will be kept very low.
