Mrs White Motor Yacht

Riccardo Paoli drew the exterior of Mrs White, a 98ft (30m) motor yacht that Benetti launched in 2009.

Water toys

A Seadoo jet ski takes a rider out on the water, while a kayak and a canoe both let a shoreline be followed quietly under paddle. Towable toys add the faster ride behind a boat, and there is tackle aboard for fishing and gear for snorkelling. Her beach tender handles the runs ashore.

Where she cruises

Positano, in Italy, is her home port, and her cruising ground is Italy itself, with July and August her peak months.

Accommodation and crew

Four cabins sleep ten guests overnight, and for a day on the water twelve can be aboard. A crew of five runs her.

Comfort under way

Zero-speed stabilisers steady her while she lies at anchor and again once she is moving, so there is less roll in either state. She settles at 11 knots for cruising, with 17 knots there when she needs them.

Inside

A gym aboard means exercise without a trip ashore, while air conditioning cools the interior and Wi-Fi and satellite television keep a group in touch with home.

Charter notes

Mrs White suits a family, or a couple sharing her with friends, and a day hire or a three-day charter is open to a group with less time to give. Scuba diving is part of what she offers, so divers among the guests can go in from the yacht itself.
