Inside Project Life: Benetti's 85M Giga Yacht's Secrets Revealed

Benetti has released new information on Project Life, its ambitious 85-meter steel giga yacht, designed in partnership with Espen Øino International, Zuretti Design, and Burgess. The vessel highlights Benetti's 'Steel Legacy' and its position as a global leader in steel yacht construction, seamlessly integrating advanced technology with elegant design to create an exceptional sea-bound lifestyle.

Designed to prioritize social interaction, the yacht’s layout harmonizes with the surrounding seascape, while its sleek profile and high bow ensure superior seakeeping and operational efficiency. Expansive windows, maximizing natural light and minimizing sun exposure, enhance both energy efficiency and onboard comfort.

Reimagined Beach Area: A New Standard in Luxury and Connection

Seeking to revolutionize stern-area functionality and enhance the connection to the sea, Benetti introduces the 270-square-meter Beach Area. This tri-laterally open space seamlessly connects the beach platform to the interior Beach Club, creating a fluid indoor-outdoor experience.

Direct access to the sea is facilitated by two 14-meter folding side doors and a spacious swim platform, while a glass-bottomed pool bathes the Beach Club in natural light. By day, this area transforms into a vibrant hub for relaxation and watersports; by night, an elegant entertainment venue, embodying the versatility of contemporary yachting lifestyles.

Elevated Living: A Sanctuary of Comfort and Style

Throughout the yacht’s interiors, Zuretti Design curates a sophisticated interplay of materials, light, and space. The 112-square-meter Main Salon, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, captures breathtaking ocean vistas, reinforcing the connection between guests and the surrounding seascape.

The 98-square-meter Owner’s Suite provides a luxurious retreat, complemented by an adjoining customizable space. The glass-enclosed Skylounge offers an intimate setting for uninterrupted sea views. On the upper foredeck, a 270-degree panoramic vista, helipad, Jacuzzi, and plush lounge areas create an exclusive, private escape.

The Bridge Deck aft is thoughtfully designed for open-air dining, offering a sheltered yet spacious venue for intimate gatherings or grand celebrations. A live-cooking station with two outdoor setups allows guests to interact with the yacht’s chef, elevating the onboard dining experience with personalized culinary moments.

Pioneering Sustainability: Redefining Eco-Conscious Yachting

Benetti Project Life integrates a suite of advanced eco-conscious innovations, reflecting a commitment to responsible yachting. Its high-efficiency hull, paired with a diesel-electric pod propulsion system, optimizes fuel consumption and maneuverability while supporting both traditional diesel and sustainable fuels such as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).

A next-generation HVAC system reduces energy consumption by up to 60%, and integrated solar panels generate clean energy for electric tenders and water toys.
