Nechida

Two 1,450 hp MTU engines give Nechida a 16-knot top speed and a 12-knot cruise, the pace of a full-displacement hull built to cover distance efficiently rather than plane. Benetti built her as a Classic Supreme in 2019, a 40-metre motor yacht shaped for range and comfort.

Build and provenance

Nechida is a 2019-built Benetti Classic Supreme, a 40-metre, 346 gross ton monohull with a beam of 8.2 metres and a draft of 2.3 metres. That draft keeps shallower anchorages and smaller harbours open to her, without giving up the volume a 40-metre hull carries above the waterline.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests are accommodated across six cabins, with a crew of seven aboard to run the yacht and look after them. That ratio gives each pair of guests close to one crew member, enough for full service without an outsized crew to house.

Performance and engineering

Power comes from two 1,450 hp MTU 12V 2000 M72 engines, delivering a 12-knot cruise and a 16-knot top speed. That combination favours steady-state running over sprint speed, in keeping with a displacement hull built for comfortable passages rather than short bursts of pace.

On deck and at anchor

The sun deck carries a jacuzzi and a separate dip pool, with a barbecue close by for meals outdoors, and a massage room offers a place to unwind. Air conditioning runs throughout, keeping the cabins comfortable regardless of the season.

Where she lies and how to see her

Nechida lies in Palma, Spain. We arrange viewings and are there for each one; once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before handover.
