The 60m/197’ oriental inspired, aptly named FORMOSA (early Portuguese sailors named Taiwan ‘Formosa’, ‘beautiful’ in Portuguese, since they were so overwhelmed by the islands’ splendor) was custom built to an exceptionally high standard. Delivered by Benetti in 2015, she was designed in-house with a distinct bow which translates into a classic and elegant profile accentuated by her pristine white paintwork and contrasting black boot stripe.
Built over five decks she has excellent internal volume for her length (1,089GT) thanks to her ample 10.4m/34’ beam. Her streamlined, full displacement steel hull, with bulbous bow and aluminum superstructure, incorporates a touch-and-go helipad on the sundeck. An exceptional ocean-going yacht with a proven globe-trotting track record, FORMOSA is as comfortable as she is seaworthy
