Lana or Mar, this Benetti boat is all things fabulous-
The Tuscan shipyard built Lana along with three other superyachts. She shone owing to every inch of the pleasure craft, inside and out, being penned by the yard’s own design teams. From a design point of view, Lana was deemed exceptional with 2.7-meter head heights. “It’s almost cathedral-like,” stated Julia Stewart, director of Imperial, which oversaw the build for the owner. “It’s a very airy, light boat.”

The interior is pleasing, almost soothing, with neutral elements that don’t overwhelm nor bore you after a few cruises. The decor is a brochure in natural materials like leather, ayous wood, and marble designed to perfection by Italian artisans.
