Benetti Classic Supreme 132' Review (2016 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The aft deck is a comfortable seating area and provides access to the main deck, but the highlight of the exterior spaces is the foredeck, which has been designed for socialising. Previously, foredecks were often underutilised, but here, it becomes a key entertainment area. Daybeds, shaded seating, and a hot tub create a relaxing space with views over the bow. The deck equipment includes large windlasses, bollards, and a bell.

The sun deck offers more outdoor lounging, with sunbathing areas, a bar, and exercise machines. A shaded dining space sits amidships, with additional seating at the front, making it a prime spot for taking in the views while underway. There is also a shower, life rafts, and additional storage areas.

The upper aft deck serves as the main outdoor dining area, likely to be the most used dining space on board. It is well-shaded, providing a comfortable setting for meals in warm climates. Behind the seating, ample walkways reinforce the yacht’s size.

The main saloon features pale wood and light-coloured carpet, giving it a contemporary feel. Floor-to-ceiling windows enhance natural light, creating an open and airy space. A TV rises from a hidden compartment, maintaining the clean aesthetic when not in use. The dining area is integrated into this space, with storage for crockery and stemware neatly concealed in cabinets. A wine cooler is built in.

The sky lounge on the upper deck mirrors this bright, modern approach, with additional entertainment facilities. A bar area with stemware storage, a coffee machine, and an ice maker ensures convenience for guests. Large windows provide panoramic views, making it an inviting space for relaxation or film nights.

The galley is well-equipped, featuring extensive refrigeration and food preparation areas. A dumbwaiter provides easy access to upper levels for meal service. The crew have a separate mess area with a TV, additional storage, and their own laundry facilities with Miele Professional machines.

Owner's Cabin

Positioned forward on the main deck, the owner’s cabin is a private retreat. Large windows bring in natural light, including lower-level windows providing direct views of the water. A pocket door allows the space to be enclosed for privacy. A built-in desk area doubles as a workspace.

Storage is extensive, with a walk-in wardrobe and hanging lockers. AV equipment and tablet-controlled systems are integrated into the space. The ensuite bathroom spans the width of the yacht, finished in light wood with a matte finish rather than traditional high-gloss lacquer. The shower and toilet are positioned separately, and further storage is integrated throughout.

Guest Accommodation

The lower deck features four guest cabins, all generously proportioned. Two have double beds, while two have twin beds. All cabins maintain the yacht’s bright, modern aesthetic, with large windows and subtle lighting.

Storage is ample, including wardrobes and AV system compartments. The twin cabins, though smaller, retain full-height headroom and well-sized bathrooms. Emergency exits are discreetly integrated into the ceiling. Unlike some yachts that prioritise the owner’s space while compromising on guest accommodation, all guest cabins here maintain a full-size layout.

A sixth guest cabin is located on the upper deck, offering an alternative sleeping arrangement. It benefits from panoramic views and an ensuite bathroom, making it a desirable option.

Crew Accommodation

The crew area is well thought out, ensuring functionality and comfort. The crew mess is a dedicated space with seating, a TV, and CCTV monitoring, allowing for relaxation between shifts. There is additional cold storage, a sink, and a cooker within the crew area, supporting long stays at sea.

The yacht has four crew cabins, including a captain’s cabin, which is located on the upper deck near the bridge. The remaining three cabins are situated on the lower deck, each with its own ensuite bathroom.  

A fully equipped laundry room with four Miele Professional machines ensures the crew can efficiently handle guest and operational needs. The crew also benefit from a dumbwaiter system, which connects the galley to the upper levels for efficient meal service.

The engine room houses a pair of MTU 12V 2000 M72 engines. These deliver a top speed of 17.5 knots and a cruising speed of 14.5 knots. The range is approximately 3,500 nautical miles.

Generators are positioned alongside, ensuring power redundancy. A water maker is installed, along with a fuel transfer system. Emergency steering controls provide backup in case of system failure.

The garage, located aft, stores a Williams jet tender and jet skis. The garage door folds down, doubling as a beach club area when at anchor. The tender operates on diesel, matching the yacht’s fuel supply for convenience.

While the layout follows the familiar superyacht formula, the execution is fresh and refined. The pale wood tones, large windows, and uncluttered spaces make the yacht feel inviting rather than overdone. It avoids the heavy, classic style that some older Benettis lean towards, giving it a crisp, contemporary appeal.

One of its strengths is how well-proportioned everything feels. There’s no sense of compromise in the guest areas - each cabin is full-sized, with proper headroom and well-thought-out storage. Even the sixth cabin, an unusual feature at this size, is not an afterthought but a proper addition to the yacht’s accommodation.
