In Livorno, Benetti launched M/Y “Calex,” a bespoke 67-meter yacht with a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure designed for the perfect Californian lifestyle. The sleek exterior is done by Cassetta Yacht Designers, while the contemporary interiors, featuring precious marble and fine wood, are designed by the Shipyard’s Style Department. The master cabin is on a deck designed around the Yacht’s owner, facing forward and looking out onto an exterior space with a lounge area and fireplace – which cannot be seen from the upper decks because a clever play on the perspective ensures complete privacy.

M/Y “Calex” is the 67-metre full custom yacht launched today in Livorno by Benetti, with delivery to the owner planned for this spring. Bespoke in every detail, the Yacht has indoor and outdoor spaces that ensure absolute privacy and comfort and cater to the owner’s passion for exercise and wellbeing. Cassetta Yacht Designers developed the streamlined, well-proportioned exterior contours -while the interiors designed by the Benetti Style Department feature alternating light and dark color shades, with the extensive use of maple and American walnut, ivory-colored leathers, and white statuary and crema Marfil marble. The fabrics used for the decorative cushions are by Loro Piana Interiors.

The Yacht includes five enclosed decks and a Sundeck that stands out for its perfectly balanced volumes. The interiors were fitted out using the ‘box in box’ method and meet the highest construction standards, testifying yet again to the shipyard’s exceptional craftsmanship. New technology was used on “Calex” to minimize noise transmission and ensure silent navigation at a speed of 12 knots.

The stand-out feature of this 67-meter Yacht is the Upper Deck, which has a surface area of 160 square meters devoted entirely to the owner’s personal space. A huge Master Cabin containing a 2 spacious suite, an elegant double bathroom, a private office, and a walk-in closet extends from the midship onto the foredeck outside while offering a 180-degree view, with two curved automatic sliding doors opening out onto an exclusive lounge area furnished with chaises lounges, armchairs, a table, and an original gas fireplace. Although wide open, it is also a very private space, much of which cannot be seen from the upper decks as a result of the carefully planned volumes and depths. The foredeck can also be used as a touch-and-go helicopter pad, giving the owner the 
greatest possible freedom when coming on board. On the same deck, an open area in the stern with a dining table and a relaxing area furnished with armchairs and other seating is complemented by an interior lounge with a TV cabinet.

The stern area on the Main Deck hosts guests in a spacious open-air lounge, while inside, you will find the main lounge, with a table seating 12, sofas, and armchairs, followed by the galley. The owner will also have two large VIP cabins on this deck, one on each side of the Yacht, with two garages of different sizes in the bow for the main tender and various water toys.

The four guest cabins, two doubles and two twin beds (convertible) are midships on the Lower Deck and separate from the accommodation in the bow for the crew of 16, which is decorated with materials and furnishings similar to those used in the guest area. Separate guest and crew flow ensure maximum privacy and excellent service on board, connecting these areas with the galley on the Main Deck and the upper decks.

Also, on the Lower Deck of M/Y “Calex” amidships is the large engine room: Benetti’s first on an entire custom yacht this size to fully comply with TIER III regulations because it is fitted with a scrubbing system for the exhaust gases from both the propulsion and generating systems. The spacious swim platform and the beach club are connected to the Main Deck by two fixed stairways in the bow. A gullwing door opens onto the swim platform and lets light flood into the interiors of the beach club, where a long swing-down hatch on the starboard side provides easier access to the water and even more light.

The Bridge Deck, which has an outdoor space containing a lounge area furnished with a bar, sofas, a TV cabinet, and a barbecue and is served by a pantry, revolves around the captain and the wheelhouse. The large captain’s cabin is separated from the officer and crew quarters to be close to the ship office and the futuristic helm station, which features a touchscreen console designed by Telemar. 

The only deck not served by the lift, a central area with gym equipment, and a Jacuzzi pool ensures the utmost comfort and well-being on the Sun Deck.
