Afina

A pair of 1,000 hp MAN V8 engines gives Afina a 2,300 nautical mile range at a 12-knot cruise, the sort of figure that turns a delivery crossing into routine work. Benetti built her in 2017 as a Tradition Supreme 108.

Build and provenance

Afina is a GRP hull and superstructure, classed by RINA and drawn outside by Stefano Righini with an interior by Zuretti. At 33 metres and 210 gross tons, fin stabilisers keep her steady under way.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, with a crew of five to run her, a close ratio that keeps attention high through a full day of service. The owner's suite takes the whole forward bow of the main deck, enlarged beyond other Benetti 108 layouts, with its own office, a full wardrobe and a private laundry. A crane on deck handles tender and toy launches.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,000 hp MAN V8 engines drive her to a 13.5-knot top speed and settle to a 12-knot cruise, with 2,300 nautical miles of range at that speed. Large fuel and fresh water tanks back that range up, giving her the legs for a genuine passage rather than a day out.

On deck and at anchor

A sun deck and a built-in barbecue area give her simple, sociable space above the guest decks, the kind of spot for a lunch that does not need the saloon.

Where she lies and how to see her

Afina lies in Turkey. Boatcrowd arranges viewings on board and is there for each one; once an offer is accepted, we bring in survey and sea trial before handover.
