The Italian shipyard Benetti Yachts is proud to announce that its 60m motor yacht Diamonds Are Forever was officially launched on Saturday 26th November 2011, at its state-of-the-art shipyard in Livorno. The official name of Diamonds are Forever superyacht, formerly known as FB253, was a personal choice of Mr. John Staluppi, an established shipowner who has always been a fan of the Bond, James Bond saga.
Based on Benetti naval architecture and engineering, the elegant external line of the new FB253 custom mega yacht Diamonds Are Forever is characterised by compact forms and dynamic slender lines: a balanced combination of traditional design elements and modern innovative stylistic solutions which have become the shipyard’s distinguishing mark throughout the world.
On board, customisation to meet the needs and desires of the shipowner is total: the particular arrangement of the cabins, the location of the wheelhouse on the flybridge, the interior design and decor, the engine room made entirely of stainless steel and the addition of the top deck above the flybridge, a private panoramic deck 12 metres above the sea which can be reached by the glass lift that serves all the yacht decks.
