Benetti’s M/Y Metis Redefines Luxury on the High Seas
Benetti’s M/Y Metis Redefines Luxury on the High Seas
An innovative 63-meter superyacht that sets a new standard for luxury and comfort afloat, reaffirming Benetti as the undisputed leader in superyacht construction.
Italian shipyard Benetti has spent more than 150 years transforming its clients’ visions into floating realities. Its latest creation, the M/Y Metis, is no exception. This commanding 63-meter vessel achieves a seamless fusion of avant-garde design, sophistication, and the specific requirements of an owner who was deeply involved in the creative process from the outset. Benetti — the oldest shipyard dedicated exclusively to luxury yachts — demonstrates once again that it does not merely build vessels. It engineers singular experiences on the open sea.
A Design That Elevates Luxury and Comfort Aboard
The exterior design is defined by a long, vertical bow that imparts a modern yet timeless character. The M/Y Metis has been meticulously optimized — inside and out — to maximize comfort at every turn. A bespoke gymnasium on the Fly Deck allows guests to train against uninterrupted ocean views, while the generous exterior areas — complete with a jacuzzi, hammocks, and a private bar — invite unhurried relaxation. Aboard the M/Y Metis, life at sea becomes an exercise in absolute pleasure.
Among the most compelling achievements of the Metis is its interior layout, which departs from conventional arrangements through a bold 30-degree rotation. The result is a series of expansive, sociable spaces that reward gathering. The owner’s suite stands apart as a true sanctuary — more than 160 square meters finished in oak, carbon fiber, and polished steel — a study in contemporary elegance. Two bathrooms, a sauna, and a helipad complete an ensemble that bears all the hallmarks of Benetti’s uncompromising attention to detail.
The M/Y Metis is equally formidable beneath the waterline: twin MTU 12V engines producing 1,380 kW each deliver a top speed of 16 knots and a range of 5,000 nautical miles at a comfortable cruising speed of 12 knots. Every element of this vessel has been conceived to ensure not only safe and serene passage, but a journey in which each moment at sea becomes something to be savored.
Innovation, luxury, and personalization are the cornerstones that have kept Benetti at the vanguard of superyacht design for a century and a half. With commissions such as the M/Y Metis, the shipyard continues to consolidate its legacy — and to challenge expectations of what a superyacht can be. In a world where luxury and bespoke craftsmanship have become non-negotiable, the Metis stands as a beacon illuminating the next chapter in superyacht construction.
