Tuscan based Italian shipyard Benetti are set to make a magnanimous return to the US as they present the official world premiere of their 49 metre custom motoryacht Elaldrea. Preparing to be showcased at the Palm Beach International Boat Show between March 28 until 31 at West Palm Beach, the staggering four deck FB702 model will adorn the Benetti stand alongside Lejos3, the fourth unit of the Fast 125 model.
Collaborative design efforts between Argentinian architect Horacio Bozzo for the exteriors and the Benetti Style Department for stylish interiors have resulted in a sleek and stylish model with flowing lines and an impeccable finish throughout.
Featuring three in-line generators which are fitted with HUG anti-particulate filters, Elaldrea hosts admirable benefits which see a significant reduction in pollutant emissions in comparison to the usual standard fittings.
In addition to being a more eco friendly vessel, the 49 metre vessel also has an aft garage with side entrance plus a private chief engineer's quarters located adjacent to both the garage and the engine room.
Returning twice to America in little more than a month is a strategically important decision for Benetti. America is one of the world’s most important yachting markets and many of our yachts spend most of the year there. What is more North, Central and South American customers appreciate the combination of tradition, innovative technology and Made in Italy style for which Benetti is a worthy ambassador

On arrival, guests will adore the striking beauty of Elaldrea as they are welcomed by a spacious beach club. Providing easy access to the sea at any destination, guests can make the most of the water toys or enjoy the onboard ambience with the TV, bar, sauna and comfortable seating area. For guests wanting more of a view, the generous 115 square metre flybridge also provides ample outdoor entertainment with more relaxing areas plus a swimming pool.
Interiors created by the Benetti Style Department have a modern but minimalistic concept with indulgent furnishing brands such as Dedar and Armani. Polished black walnut wood and silk panelling feature throughout the interiors alongside Afyon marble trimmed with Sahara noir marble, as selected by the owner.
The traditional Made in Italy element from Benetti yachts is felt throughout the main deck with premium pieces from Poltrona Frau, Giorgetti and Arketipo. The immaculately furnished lounge area is accompanied by a lavish formal dining area plus a fully equipped galley which hosts two wine cellars. The owner's apartment is also located on the main deck with additional features including two bathrooms, two dressing areas and a flying out balcony.
Guest accommodation on the lower deck continues the same minimalistic but stylish theme in two very spacious VIP cabins and another two doubles with queen and single beds, all with their own en suite.
Joining Elaldrea on the Benetti stand at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, the 38 metre Lejos3 is also an exciting addition to the Benetti fleet.
As the fourth unit of the Fast 125 model, Lejos3 has an extremely silent and lightweight Azipull Carbon 65 (AZP C65) propulsion system which was created in partnership with Rolls Royce. Designed exclusively for Fast 125 units, the system has a track record for providing outstanding performance.
Built upon the D2P (Displacement to Planing) hull designed in collaboration by Pierluigi Ausonio and the Azimut Benetti Research & Development centre, Lejos3 favours impressive benefits while using both planing and displacement modes. Other significant design work has also been contributed to the vessel from Stefano Righini on the exteriors and interiors by RWD.
Spreading over four decks, Lejos3 showcases striking contrasts throughout the interiors and has generous spacing for both socialising and relaxing. Guests will enjoy the great outdoors with plenty of areas to indulge in the magnificent views around the vessel, plus a choice of two swimming pools on the upper and sun deck will cater to guests' every need.
Inside on the main deck there's a generous lounge and dining area alongside an elaborately decorated owner's suite. On the lower deck guests can relax in a layout of four VIP cabins which have their own en suite facilities.
