Black Is Back

There's a first time for everything, and the launch of Beverly, pictured here, marked one of them. She's the first black hull for Benetti.

The 11th launch in the Benetti Classic line, Beverly continues the deep theme inside, with abundant use of wenge and cherrywood for soles and additional cherrywood for wall panels. Fabric tones range from black and brown to red and orange, said to create a warm, not somber, feel.

Once she's delivered within the next few weeks, Beverly will be available for charter, first in the Mediterranean and later in the year in the Caribbean.
