Illusion V is a Benetti-built superyacht measuring 190ft (58m), delivered in 2014. She carries 6 staterooms with 3 Double, 3 Twin sleeping arrangements for 12 guests, while day charters welcome up to 12 aboard. A crew of 14 manages everything from gourmet dining and watersports to navigation and itinerary planning.
The Illusion V Experience
From generous outdoor decks to the refined interior, Illusion V balances scale with warmth. Guests settle into a rhythm quickly – morning coffee on the sundeck, a swim before lunch, afternoons exploring ashore or unwinding on deck. At 12 knots, she moves efficiently between anchorages so days are spent enjoying destinations rather than in transit. Key features include a deck jacuzzi, a swim platform, a beach club, and a spa. The interior feels like home, with well-appointed cabins offering a private retreat at the end of each day’s activities.
On the Water
A collection of 6 water toys keeps every member of the group entertained, with two jet skis, a water slide, and surf and kite gear available directly from the swim platform. The 21ft Tender is on standby for beach drops, harbour runs, and snorkeling stops at reefs and rocky coves. The crew handles all equipment so guests focus purely on the experience, and the yacht’s layout makes water access comfortable for guests of all ages.
