LA BLANCA is a 59.3-metre Benetti motor yacht that has become one of the most recognised and sought-after yachts in the charter market, earning the informal title the Ferrari of the Sea from guests who appreciate her combination of Italian styling, performance and effortless sophistication. Launched in 2008 and designed with exterior lines by Stefano Natucci and interiors by the award-winning Redman Whiteley Dixon studio, she was comprehensively refitted in 2019 under new ownership, leaving her in essentially as-new condition inside and out. Her silhouette is unmistakably Benetti: feminine curves, a raked bow and an elongated profile that draws eyes wherever she goes. Inside, RWD chose a soft fawn palette with hints of cobalt and crisp white furnishings to create an elegant, calm and airy atmosphere that feels both refined and genuinely relaxed, a beach house with five-star service. The salon is generous and light-filled, flowing naturally to the alfresco dining terrace forward. LA BLANCA’s most spectacular feature is her vast sundeck, which measures more than half her length and functions as a resort in its own right. A 15-seat illuminated Jacuzzi with a swim-up bar and colour-changing underwater lighting takes centre stage, joined by a fully enclosed air-conditioned gym, alfresco dining, ample sunbeds and the kind of open space that encourages long, unhurried days in the sun. The bridge deck aft provides a 12-seat shaded dining area, perfect for lunches as the coastline drifts past, and the main deck aft is a welcoming gathering spot before guests descend to the swim platform and beach club below. The lower deck transom opens to a well-equipped beach club with a comprehensive selection of the latest water toys, from electric jetboards and Seabobs to paddleboards, wakeboards and a fun inflatable slide that keeps guests of all ages entertained. Accommodation is across six en-suite staterooms for 12 guests. The full-beam main-deck master suite is positioned forward with his-and-her marble-clad bathrooms, a dressing room and a separate study, centred on a spacious king-size bed with unique wooden panelling. A compact but beautifully finished VIP cabin on the bridge deck features a large picture window and converts to a twin arrangement if needed. Four lower-deck cabins, two doubles and two twins with Pullman bunks, all with white marble bathrooms, complete the layout with flexibility for families and mixed groups alike. A crew of 15 delivers genuinely attentive service, and LA BLANCA is available in the Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean and Bahamas in winter. The crew of 15 aboard LA BLANCA are celebrated for their ability to deliver five-star service with genuine warmth, and the yacht’s reputation for happy, returning charter groups reflects the atmosphere they create on board. Her range of 4,500 nautical miles at cruising speed and the 12-knot cruise pace give LA BLANCA comfortable reach across the Mediterranean and into the Caribbean and Bahamas without the need to rush, and with her 2024 full refit updating outboard engines and navigation systems she is presented in impeccable condition for the 2025 charter season. She is available for charter now with Northrop and Johnson, with summer in the Mediterranean and winter in the Caribbean and Bahamas.
