With a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, Benetti announced the sale of its third Motopanfilo 45M, which will sport a blue hull, a choice that further enhances its timeless character.

The owner, a renowned Italian businessman with a lifelong passion for the sea and extensive sailing experience, conceived his new yacht as a highly personalized project.

The interior design, by Valentina Zanier, was developed in close collaboration with the owner's wife, who contributed her own sensibility and expertise in interior design to the project. The customization of the exterior areas also emerged from this collaboration, resulting in a yacht that fully reflects the style of its owners. Delivery is scheduled for the end of 2028.

The Motopanfilo 45M is a contemporary reinterpretation of Benetti's iconic Motopanfilo yachts of the 1960s, yachts that helped define an era with their balanced proportions, elegance, and distinctive nautical identity. The exterior lines, designed by the British studio RWD, embody this heritage in a contemporary design language, while preserving some of the distinctive features of the Motopanfilo tradition. Developed by the Azimut|Benetti Group's R&D department, the yacht's architecture is designed to offer efficiency, comfort, and exceptional long-range sailing capabilities.

Its low, elegant profile, along with its distinctive sloping windows, draws inspiration from the original Motopanfilo tradition and is reinterpreted through clean, harmonious lines, integrated details, and expansive glazed surfaces. Along the hull, rectangular windows alternate with classic round portholes, while the full-beam superstructure creates generous interior spaces filled with natural light.

A distinctive element of the project is the Veranda Deck, an innovative reinterpretation of the traditional main deck saloon. By incorporating the side walkways, Benetti has expanded the space to create an open-plan environment that opens completely on three sides, establishing a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

The result is a true veranda overlooking the sea, where physical barriers disappear and guests enjoy an uninterrupted connection with their surroundings. The deck thus becomes the heart of life on board, visually extending towards the infinity pool and the aft beach area, in constant dialogue with the sea.

With an overall length of 44.55 meters and a maximum beam of 9.10 meters, the Motopanfilo 45M accommodates up to ten guests in five cabins, including an owner's suite of over 60 square meters. Nine crew members are accommodated in five cabins.

The yacht reaches a top speed of 15 knots and offers a range of 4,100 nautical miles at 10 knots, underscoring its ability to undertake long-range cruising.
