JAGUAR is a 56-metre motor yacht built by the Italian shipyard Benetti and delivered in 2005, comprehensively refitted and re-interned in 2023. Designed externally by Stefano Natucci with naval architecture from Benetti’s Viareggio team, she carries the sleek, recognisable profile that has made her a charter market fixture for two decades: a classic white hull over three decks with graceful lines that have aged remarkably well.
Her 2023 refit, led by Emilie Dufva Barreca, transformed the interior entirely. Where the original Zuretti scheme used deep red accents and glossy dark panels, the new design introduces a soft, residential palette of pastels, creams and blues, complemented by varnished oak and marble surfaces. The result is a yacht that feels genuinely fresh rather than simply well maintained, with every guest cabin reupholstered and the common areas entirely renewed.
The main salon is bright and open, with large windows flooding the lounge with natural light and a formal dining table seating up to 12 guests. The sky lounge on the upper deck offers a more relaxed sit-up bar and a second seating area for evening drinks, with access to the aft deck lounge beyond, ideal for board games or informal gatherings when the sun goes down. An indoor gym can double as a massage room, with a dedicated masseuse and beautician available on request, and a cinema room invites quieter evenings in.
Outside, JAGUAR is built for real deck life. A sun deck Jacuzzi and sun pads anchor the daytime, while a fold-down swim platform gives guests easy access to the water at the beach club level, with the crew on standby to prepare the water toys. Those toys include wave runners, a stand-up jet ski, SeaBobs, flite boards, an electric surfboard, wakeboards, waterskis, SUPs and kayaks. JAGUAR is both an RYA water sports centre and a certified PADI dive centre, giving guests the option to advance their qualifications on board.
Accommodation sleeps 12 guests across six staterooms. The full-beam main-deck master suite has a private office, a sea-view bathtub and direct gym access. An upper-deck VIP cabin gives a second principal guest elevated views and privacy. Three double cabins and one twin cabin complete the accommodation on the lower deck, each with en-suite bathrooms refreshed in the 2023 refit.
Twin Caterpillar 3512B engines give JAGUAR a cruising speed of around 12 to 15 knots. Managed through Edmiston with a crew of 12, she is one of the charter market’s most recognisable 56-metre yachts, splitting her season between the West and East Mediterranean.
