The 107m/351ft Benetti giga yacht LANA (ex FB277) has won Yacht of the Year at the World Yachts Trophies 2019 – one of a total of seven accolades that Azimut|Benetti Group received at the closing event at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
Benetti giga yacht LANA
The giga yacht, designed entirely by the shipyard inside and out, is constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and uses diesel-electric propulsion. The bow is designed for comfortable passages through rough seas, while the stern sections on each deck curve into soft lines that extend downwards.
Benetti superyacht METIS
Among her award-winning features is a sun deck swimming pool, a grand piano, a spa containing a hammam, a massage room and gym, plus a touch-n’-go helipad. Her maximum beam is 15.2m/49.9ft and her interior volume comes to 3,300 GT to create spacious rooms on board, and the contemporary design makes use of large windows to flood the interiors with an abundance of natural light.
