Benetti just sailed away with a boatload of accolades at the 2025 Design and Innovation Awards. And the star of this triumphant voyage? None other than the magnificent 67-metre M/Y Kasper 7.

Imagine this: you’re chilling in the Austrian Alps, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and then, the yachting world’s Oscars are happening. And guess who’s the star of the show? M/Y Kasper 7. This beauty scooped up not one, but two prestigious awards: Best Interior Design – Motor Yachts over 500GT and Best Naval Architecture – Displacement Motor Yachts.

So, what’s all the fuss about? Well, let’s dive in. Picture a floating art gallery, but, like, a super comfy one. That’s the vibe of Kasper 7’s interior. One judge even said it reminded them of “an art gallery with the most interesting objects d’art on display.” Seriously, how cool is that? And those windows? Forget your standard rectangles. The designer played with shapes, especially in the dining room, making them a real talking point. It’s like they said, “Let’s make windows interesting again!”

But it’s not just about looking good. This yacht is a marvel of naval architecture too. The judges were blown away by its “exceptional hydrodynamic efficiency” and “refined hydrodynamics.” Basically, it’s super smooth and efficient, cutting through the water like a hot knife through butter. We’re talking serious engineering genius here.

And the mastermind behind this floating masterpiece? Nisrine Karagulla, the interior designer and owner. She’s buzzing with excitement, calling it “a true home on the water.” And let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to live in this thing? Benetti’s Marketing Director, Camilla Calza, is equally thrilled, emphasising the “great privilege” of bringing the owner’s vision to life.

Now, let’s talk about the details. This yacht is all about light and space. The main deck lounge is HUGE, over ten metres wide, with massive windows flooding the space with natural light. And those circular windows? Almost two metres in diameter! They’re like giant portholes to paradise, connecting you to the stunning scenery outside.

Inside, you’ll find a blend of luxury and comfort, a “relaxed atmosphere of a summer house.” Think minimalist design, fine materials like oak and travertine, and custom-made furniture and art. It’s elegant, but not stuffy. And the lighting? It’s all about creating an “intimate and sophisticated atmosphere,” making everything look like it’s glowing.

Plus, the cabins are super smart, with clever storage solutions and a consistent, elegant aesthetic. And the teak decks? They give off serious sailing bout vibes, linking functionality with maritime style.

Oh, and did we mention it’s eco-friendly? Kasper 7 snagged a 3-star SEA Index certification for its low CO2 emissions. That’s right, you can cruise in style and feel good about it.

So, there you have it. M/Y Kasper 7 is a winner on all fronts. It’s a testament to Benetti’s excellence, Nisrine Karagulla’s vision and a whole lot of design magic. If you’re dreaming of the perfect yacht, this might just be it.
