Benetti Classic 120' Review (2009 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Boarding via the passerelle into the cockpit, which features a shaded dining and seating area, with views out over the water. 

The garage can be accessed via the bathing platform or from the engine house and is equipped with a tender and jet skis. Side decks lead to the bow, which features more seating and the anchor handling equipment. 

On the upper deck, there is a dining area, a cozy nook, sunbeds, and stairs connecting the decks externally. The sun deck features a bimini, gym equipment, another bar, and a hot tub, along with two forward-facing seats, ideal for viewing while underway.

The saloon, characterized by its classic Italian styling with dark wood and muted furniture, includes a piano and a retractable TV. The dramatic access to the lower deck, especially the staircase leading down to it, is also showcased.

The bar area is equipped with a fridge and ice maker and forward from here is a day heads and the owner’s cabin. The cabin impresses with its full width, storage space, desk area, and large wardrobes, and the woodwork, particularly the curved designs, is very classy. The bedroom’s forward windows offer views over the bow, and the owner’s ensuite includes a massive shower area, a bath, twin basins, and more storage.

Guest cabins are located on the lower deck, comprising doubles with Pullman beds, twins, and VIP cabins, all with ample storage and ensuite bathrooms. The flooring and generous proportions of these guest quarters are highlighted.

A grand staircase leads to the saloon and then towards the upper deck, which houses another saloon area, a bar, and a day head. The sky lounge has a generous size and a tasteful combination of dark wood with light furniture and carpets.

The bridge is described as a serious place of business, equipped with navigation and control systems, and offering a commanding view for handling the yacht.

The crew areas, including the galley and crew cabins, are comfortable and well-equipped. The captain's cabin, with its monitoring equipment and ensuite, is highlighted as well.

The engine room houses twin MTU engines, fuel management systems, bilge pumps, switch panels.  The engines can give the yacht 16 knots, cruising at 13 knots. At an economic cruising speed, a range of 3,000 nautical miles can be achieved.

Throughout the tour, Nick speaks with enthusiasm about the yacht's features, appreciating the classic Italian design, the spacious and luxurious accommodations, and the practical aspects of the yacht that make it a comfortable and functional vessel for both guests and crew.
