Willow

Ten guests across five cabins is the working arithmetic behind Willow's layout, and a crew of eight keeps that number comfortable rather than stretched. Benetti built her in 2017 at 42 metres, with 376 gross tons of volume behind that guest count, and a flybridge deck adds a further level of living space above the main deck.

Build and provenance

She is built in GRP for both hull and superstructure, to RINA classification and commercial compliance, a class notation that carries her through the surveys a charter or private operation both require. At 42 metres and 376 gross tons, Willow is a flybridge motor yacht on a monohull, delivered by Benetti in 2017.

Layout and accommodation

Five cabins sleep ten guests, with a crew of eight to run the yacht. She carries a beam of 8.5 metres and a draft of 2 metres, dimensions that give the cabins their width without demanding a deep-water berth.

Performance and engineering

Two 3,460 hp MTU 16V 2000 M94 engines give Willow a 16-knot cruise and 24 knots at full power, output that lets her cover distance quickly when a passage calls for it.

On deck and at anchor

A beach club and a swimming platform put the water within reach at anchor, the sun deck carries a jacuzzi above it, and sunpads and a bar keep the top decks in use through the day.

Where she lies and how to see her

Willow lies in Saint-Tropez. We set up a viewing and are there for it, and once an offer is accepted a survey and sea trial follow before handover.
