Luminous transparency

 

Light, transparency, and enhancement of spaces characterise the essence of the Crystal 140’, born from the hands of Stefano Righini for the exterior layout and François Zuretti for the interiors, with the choice of fabrics and other elements of the first-rate interior decor being the province of the interior design firm Ahmed Chabebe & Asociados. The Crystal 140’ is suited to the owner who turns toward the sea with great respect and who knows how to derive pleasure from a slow pace.

Her name is Crystal. For the Greeks, this meant ice. Later it became the name for a solid mineral form synonymous with light and transparency. The sea requires light, needs concrete vistas of the corners of paradise that only modern “navetta” have the ability to provide.

The interiors exploit the volume of hull, along with special attention to light, windows that eclipse the competition and the past. Four decks that are fully livable, with areas for socialising that are protected with privacy. The stern area offers a customary garage for tender, jet skis, and other equipment has been moved forward toward the bow with an opening on the side.

 

 

 

The lower deck offers more space for guest cabins, four in all, two with double beds and two with twin beds.The main deck is the heart of the boat: with a large living area with a central sofa and armchairs and a bar area, it is the ideal place for relaxing. The main saloon is capped by the dining area, where you’ll find an elegant table with comfortable seating for eight in classic style.

Amidships, the foyer with stairs leading to the other levels. Continuing along toward the bow takes you to the owner’s cabin, set off by full-height windows that offer stunning views of the sea, whether underway or at anchor: the place where everyone wants to be.

In the upper deck is the living area: at the stern, a dining table surrounded by openable glass doors that close to form a semicircle with a striking view of the horizon. The bow contains a control room and the commander’s cabin, while outside we find a large area with open-air sofas.

On the sun deck, we find a spacious surface for relaxing and sunbathing. In order to show that on this modern boat, everything still tastes of sea and salt. The smoke stack has being repurposed for hiding mechanicals and providing stowage space.

Interior styling is at the complete discretion of the boat owner, who can customise the environments according to his or her tastes and desires, and for this first yacht, strong Caribbean influences have been proposed, from finely treated mahogany for wood surfaces to gold-plated finishes.

On-board systems are equipped with state-of-the-art Benetti technology, which allows centralised control, including remotely, of all on-board electrical and electronic equipment, as well as all boat systems, by monitoring operating status and reporting any anomalies. The touch-screen interfaces are extremely user friendly and intuitive.
