Alluria is the Benetti Motopanfilo idea made real: a modern 37 metre yacht that borrows the soul of the yard 1960s classics and rebuilds it with current engineering and light filled interiors. Delivered in 2023, she is one of the freshest yachts in her size class, and she charters both sides of the Atlantic, the Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean in winter.
Her character sits in the detail. The exterior reworks the low, elegant lines of the original Motopanfilo, all soft curves and timber warmth, while the interior opens into rooms flooded with daylight through floor to ceiling windows. The main salon centres on a deep blue rug and a relaxed seating plan, generous but never grand, and dining is handled both formally inside and casually out on deck. Warm woods, pale fabrics and clean joinery run throughout, a look that reads as contemporary Riviera rather than traditional gentleman yacht.
Accommodation is arranged for ten guests across five cabins. The master takes a full width position with a large bed, a private lounge area and a marble bathroom. A VIP, a double and two twin style cabins complete the layout, one of them convertible between twin and double, so the yacht adapts easily from a family with children to a group of couples. Every cabin carries the same calm palette and the same quality of finish as the main deck.
Outdoors is where Alluria makes her strongest case. A proper swimming pool is set into the foredeck, a rare feature at this length, ringed by sunpads and shaded lounging for slow mornings at anchor. Aft, a Hamptons style beach club with a retractable canopy brings guests down to the water, and the upper decks layer sunpads, shaded seating and al fresco dining across several levels. The result is a yacht that feels far larger than her numbers when everyone spreads out under the sun.
The toy program is built for active charters. An Axopar Brabus 900 chase boat runs guests ashore and pulls the water toys, backed by two Yamaha jet skis, two Seabobs, a Lampuga jet board, wakeboards, water skis and paddleboards. A crew of seven keeps the operation smooth and personal, the right ratio for a yacht that trades on ease rather than scale.
Under way she cruises comfortably at 14 knots with a top end near 18, enough to move between the Riviera hotspots in a morning or to reach a quiet cove before lunch. In winter she crosses to the Caribbean and works the Leeward Islands from a base around Sint Maarten, so a charter can follow the season rather than the calendar.
What sets Alluria apart is freshness with feeling. She is a brand name yacht, barely two years old, with a foredeck pool, a beach club and a dual season program, wrapped in a design that actually has a point of view. For a charter broker placing a group who want something current and characterful rather than anonymous, she is a confident, easy recommendation. Few yachts at this length combine a recent delivery, a genuine pool and a two ocean program, and fewer still do it with this much personality. She books quickly, and it is easy to see why.
