Inspiration モーターヨット

Inspiration carries a carbon fibre superstructure over a glass-reinforced hull, a combination chosen for weight rather than tradition: less structure aloft asks less of the engines below. Benetti built her in 2018 as a Fast 125, one of the yard's speed-oriented flybridge models, and she is offered today from Nassau in the Bahamas.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull motor yacht in flybridge style, her hull glass-reinforced plastic and her superstructure carbon fibre. Benetti delivered her in 2018, and nothing in her record shows a refit since.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests are accommodated across five cabins, with seven crew aboard to run the boat and look after them, a crew count that on a yacht this size points to full service rather than a skeleton team. The flybridge format puts an extra deck of open space above the main saloon, a layout built around time spent outside as much as in.

Performance and engineering

Two 2,636 hp MTU 12V 2000 M96L engines drive her to a 17-knot cruise and 22 knots flat out, enough speed that a passage plan can trade a day for an afternoon. At 349 gross tons and 8.5 metres of beam, she carries that engineering without feeling top-heavy on her 2.1-metre draught.

Where she lies and how to see her

Inspiration lies in Nassau, in the Bahamas. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is there for them alongside a buyer; once an offer is accepted, the survey and sea trial follow before anything is final.
