When she was introduced last summer, the 351-foot Lana looked like just another very large gigayacht. But when we drilled down into the yacht’s myriad details, it turns out that she’s an authentic breakthrough, literally on multiple levels. Hybrid diesel-electric propulsion, huge interior LCD walls that become projection screens, and one of the most beautiful master suites of any vessel on the water. Here are eight standout features that make Lana the year’s signature accomplishment for Benetti.

A Moment of Zen

For an even higher level of solitude, Lana’s cozy upper deck has a central coffee table that transforms into a firepit at night.

Water World

Study Time

The Mother of all Masters

The owners’ sanctuary expresses itself through custom decor, including the breakfast table with a crystal base and craquelé surface, mother-of-pearl bedside tables and an extravagant entertainment center.

Nightlife Included

Extreme Alfresco

Toys and Tenders

Cassetta featuring some of the same interior materials and colors as the mother ship. Toys include three Sea-Doo watercraft, Seabobs, windsurfers, paddleboards and scuba gear.

Kick (Way) Back
