Oli Iate a motor

Ten guests across five suites is the accommodation Oli carries, a generous ratio for a 36 metre yacht and one Benetti built deliberately into her when she came off the line in the Mediterraneo series. She was delivered in 2016, and at 271 gross tonnes she has real volume behind that guest count rather than cabins fitted into a hull built for something smaller.

Build and provenance

Giorgio Cassetta drew her exterior and Achille Salvagni worked the interior alongside the yard's own style department, and the result is a hull with three decks stacked for sightlines rather than for extra cabins. Benetti built her in 2016 to a Mediterraneo 116 specification, a model built for a long-range brief rather than a short coastal run. For a buyer that pairing, an established yard and two named designers, means a boat whose details were considered rather than default.

Layout and accommodation

Oli's five cabins break down as one master, two doubles and two twins, sleeping her ten guests with room to spare rather than a tight fit. A crew of seven look after them, a ratio that keeps a table of ten guests properly served rather than stretched. Three decks spread those guest spaces across separate levels rather than a single run.

Performance and engineering

Two MAN V12 engines, each rated at 1,400 hp, take her to a 15 knot top speed and a 14 knot cruise, a pace built for covering distance rather than for hovering close to shore. The Mediterraneo 116 was designed with a long-range brief, which suits a cruising speed like hers rather than working against it.

Where she lies and how to see her

Her current location isn't listed for this Oli, so Boatcrowd will confirm where she lies once you get in touch. Whatever her berth, viewing follows the same steps every time: we arrange it and are there with you, and once an offer is accepted a surveyor and a sea trial come next before anything moves further.
