67m Benetti yacht Calex to make world debut at Palm Beach International Boat Show 2023

Following her launch in February 2022, the highly private 67 metre Benetti motor yacht Calex will make her first public appearance at the 2023 Palm Beach International Boat Show later this month (March 23-26).  

The yacht, which was formerly known as Project Fenestra, was delivered to an experienced American owner in spring 2022 with the buyer introduced by Northrop & Johnson in June 2019. 

Designed by Giorgio M Casseta and his studio, Calex has been built in steel and aluminium with a seven-cabin layout that can accommodate 14 guests. Ten cabins can accommodate 17 crewmembers, including three doubles for the captain, first officer and chief engineer. The owners specifically requested that the crew quarters include materials and furnishings of a similar quality to those used in the guest accommodation.

Calex has six decks, with special attention paid to the owner’s deck, which occupies 160 square metres and includes a lounge with bar and a 180-degree view that still offers complete privacy. The sundeck features a forward steering station, gym and Jacuzzi. 

The interiors of the superyacht are by Benetti's in-house team and she is the first custom Benetti of this size to fully comply with TIER III regulations thanks to a scrubbing system for the exhaust gases from both the propulsion and generating systems.

Benetti has a number of exciting projects in the works currently, including the final stages of construction of FB283.
