Project Life Motor Yacht

Two design names sit on a hull that is not finished yet: Espen Øino International and Zuretti Design are both credited on Project Life, working alongside Benetti as she heads toward a 2030 delivery from Italy. Because construction is still under way, a buyer stepping in now can still shape some of her layouts and materials rather than take her as delivered.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull displacement motor yacht, 85 metres long with a draught of 3.5 metres, under construction in Italy. At 2,680 gross tonnes, her hull carries real volume, the kind that lets a designer put space into cabins and public rooms rather than corridors.

Layout and accommodation

Fourteen guests will have seven cabins between them, looked after by a crew of 31, a ratio that points to full formal service at every meal and every stop.

Performance and engineering

Her propulsion is diesel-electric and built to run on HVO biofuel, backed by solar panels and a low-energy HVAC system, an efficiency-first specification rather than something added later. She is designed to cruise at 13 knots and reach 15 at full power, figures that suit a displacement hull built for range rather than speed.

Where she lies and how to see her

Project Life is being built in Italy, and Boatcrowd can arrange a visit to Benetti's yard to see her in person before she is finished. Once an offer on her build slot is accepted, survey and sea trial follow once she is complete.
