The Benetti Mediterraneo 116 is the latest addition to the company's range of semi-displacement semi-custom superyachts. Designed by Giorgio Maria Cassetta, the exterior of the Mediterraneo 116 retains the classic look of a Benetti yacht but has a slimmer profile with flowing decks.

Benetti has cleverly utilized the open deck space with a 6m wide aft cockpit, an ideal place for al-fresco dining. The upper deck with a total area of 80 square meters can be used for cocktail parties with dozens of invitees. A more intimate gathering place for guests can be organised by the pool area at the front of the deck.

Bernetti has maximised the amount of natural light entering the interior by installing 3m high frameless windows in the main saloon and 2.4m wide floor-to-ceiling fully glazed rear doors. The salon can easily accommodate up to 12 guests.

The owner's suite is located forward on the main deck, while the four guest cabins, each with a large window, are located on the lower deck.

Benetti has made extensive use of carbon fibre throughout the aluminium superstructure, which has reduced the boat's weight while maintaining structural rigidity. Two Man V-12-1400 engines give the boat a top speed of 15 knots. At 10 knots, the range of the Mediterraneo 116 is maxed out at 3,000 miles.
