Lady M II モーターヨット

Five guest cabins for twelve guests, cared for by a crew of seven, sets a service ratio that keeps Lady M II unhurried rather than crowded. Benetti built her at 42 metres in 2015 as a Crystal 140, and she is offered for sale from Italy. Zuretti drew the interior and Righini shaped the exterior, so the two halves of the design brief, how she looks and how she lives, came from different hands working to one plan.

Build and provenance

Lady M II is a Crystal 140, a GRP-built displacement motor yacht that Benetti delivered in 2015. Zuretti Interior's designers set the interior and Righini Design drew the exterior lines, so the styling and the living spaces were planned as two separate briefs rather than one hand doing both. At 42 metres, a beam of 9.1 metres and 460 gross tons, she is built for the accommodation that follows below deck.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep across five cabins, looked after by a crew of seven, a ratio generous enough that service does not feel rationed even with every cabin full.

Performance and engineering

Two CAT C32 engines, each rated at 1,081 kW, cruise her at 14 knots and take her to 15 knots at full power, modest figures that suit a displacement hull built for range rather than a planing sprint. She carries a 4,000-nautical-mile range, enough to cross an ocean rather than hop between anchorages, with her speed and consumption matched to that distance rather than to short bursts.

Where she lies and how to see her

Lady M II lies in Italy. Boatcrowd sets up every viewing and comes along to it, and once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial are arranged before she changes hands.
