Influenced by the 140th anniversary celebrated by the prestigious Italian builder Benetti, the Italian designer, Marco Casali, introduced a range of designs that are rooted in the history of the brand itself. Created for the “Benetti Design Innovation Project“, in addition to the spectacular superyacht Principessa 72, there is the beautiful motor yacht Amarcord 56, well as the impressive megayacht Cloud 90.
Marco Casali has revised the traits of the projects of the last 10 years (today) focusing on a profoundly innovative functional scheme and on the evolution of the typical sinuous lines of the Benetti yachts in the superyacht Principessa 72 project.
“Grace is beauty in motion.“
G.E.Lessing
The project of the Principessa 72 yacht starts from the analysis of the last ten years Benetti yachts proportions with the intention to enhance two peculiar characteristics: the slender line and the grace.
These ships have in fact always been distinguished by this point and we wanted to enhance it as much as possible by moving the masses towards the stern, thus generating a beach area with swimming pool in the bow area. The pool exploiting the lift of the bow creates a bridge offset that generates a large volume in the underlying area used as a second garage and a maneuvers area.
The owner’s cabin was placed in the heart of the Principessa 72 yacht project, in the middle of the upper deck, the guest cabins abandoned the lower to be arranged on the upper one with the ability to be equipped with terraces fixed or mobile.
A second staircase connects the guest area with the master suite through a “pool saloon” directly facing the pool itself and divided into two areas between indoors and outdoors, both characterized by a great privacy.
The side reinforcements and the aft ends of the bridges were modeled and redesigned with the intent to enhance the slender line. The sundeck and the sky deck conveniently connected generate a penthouse sundeck, alternative ,depending on the weather or mooring / panoramic views, to the beach sun deck at the bow.
Even the garages are double, one forward, the other at the aft, so it is possible to accommodate up to 4 large tenders or there is a possibility to transform one of it into a spa or a gym. The lower deck is dedicated to the crew area and hosts also an easy access to the sea for guests, extra available space is left to accommodate a movie theater or the seventh guest cabin.
