The impressive megayacht CLOUD 90, in addition to the beautiful motor yacht Amarcord 56 and the superyacht Principessa 72, represents one of the three new designs, developed by the Italian designer Marco Casali for the “Benetti Design Innovation Project“. For the creation of these amazing projects, Marco Casali took motivation from the 140th anniversary of the Benetti shipyard, introducing a range of designs that are rooted in the history of the brand itself.
The magnificent Cloud 90 yacht project represents a challenge in the future (tomorrow), but still leaving aesthetic traces of the historical memory of the Benetti yard.
“A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed […] , but the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.”

Luxury yacht Cloud 90 is a project that wants to imagine the yachts of the future.
The project idea was born from the desire to suspend a cloud above a hull and lock it with a giant side reinforcement exaltation of the Benetti heritage.
The upper deck with its fully glazed partitions is one giant free plan, like the deck of an aircraft carrier available to the general well-being of the guests. The wide open spaces are home to two swimming pools, one forward and one aft surrounded with their entertainment areas. All the perimeter of the bridge is left free to give life to a running path of almost 200 meters half of a Olympic ring!
The hanging cloud, painted in white, black or silver, is the residence of the owner with 360° panoramas and with large terraces on both sides. There are numerous ancillary spaces for relaxation available to owner in his private deck, from a billiards room to the private lounge, from the office staff to the massage area.
Well-being is seen as state of the art of the time on board, a comfortable gym and a SPA are available for guests on the lower deck to complement the many services offered in the outside decks.
Direct access from the sea to the boat can be through the water garage that evokes inside the canopy of the Villa Adriana and allows guests to come and go through a completely private area. The space of the water garage can be transformed into the third pool with sea water and against-water swimming.
The outdoor pool deck is suspended on the cockpit so as to illuminate the aft entrance of the main deck through the water. It recalls the Roman cavea and the spaces for meditation and relaxation of the ancient baths, large openings under the pool generates through the water magnificent play of light.
Three different garages creates space for all the tenders and the water toys.
A large-scale helical ramp done in a rationalist style connects the various bridges and helps to illuminate directly the main and the lower deck.
The terraces placed on the hull in the main deck highlights one of the dining rooms and the main entrance also underscored by the big curved accommodation ladder hidden under them.
The organic and fantastic surfaces of the cloud recalls recent architectures and zoomorphic forms such as the manta emphasizing the ideal combination of land and sea that the Cloud 90 yacht project represents.
