Metis, Benetti Yachts’ 63 metre long motor yacht with a beam of more than 10 was delivered to the owner in Leghorn’s ship yard in June last. Coded FB276 it is the result of close team work and dynamic synergy between Benetti Yachts and a pool of international designers and architects namely by Giorgio Cassetta from Italy who handled the exterior styling, while British studio Bannenberg & Rowell and German atelier Birgit Otte Interiors handled the interiors.
A German owner commissioned the task to Yacht Moments president Kurt Lehmann who oversaw the entire construction process as consultant acting on behalf of the owner. Metis owes its exterior design which won at the 2019 World Yacht Trophies Awards to Giorgio M. Cassetta who declared: “Metis is a modern yet timeless looking yacht which reveals considerable exploitable volumes behind fluid lines and considerable innovation such as the whole of a private deck. The design work is minimal but nevertheless typical of Benetti Yachts”. The final result is a well proportioned dynamic looking yacht featuring sinuous lines which streamline an otherwise imposing silhouette.
