English
The Benetti 85 is the ultimate mini mega yacht. What this model does not wrap up in less than 24meters is not worth having. The Legend 85 greatly benefitted from almost all of her stable-mates at Benetti being 30meters plus and so her systems are usually seen only on much larger yachts. Farfallina is a full displacement hull yacht, offering excellent economy and range with her larger than standard engines, affording no more hanging around at the fuel dock when on holiday.
Stability and comfort is where this model exceeds and makes everyone aboard happy and relaxed. The brilliant layout gives you the best of all worlds, privacy, open spaces for entertaining, commanding views at all times and enough crew accommodation for five star service.
FARFALLINA has benefited from being built only once the owner, surveyor and broker had spent considerable time aboard a sister-ship. All parties are as involved today as they were in 2008 when she was completed. The result has been clear to see. Farfallina has run like clockwork and fulfilled the owner and his guests every expectation. Her condition must be seen to be believed and the specification and many many custom extras need to be inspected to appreciate the thought and dedication that went into building FARFALLINA.
Particular attention but be given to the custom layout on the Sundeck where the space is dramatic and lends its self to entertaining. The new storage and seating is far more comfortable than standard and the storage essential.
