Unveiling Hoshi: A Timeless Beauty in the Benetti Classic 115 Motor Yacht Series

Unleashing the charm of its timeless profile, the 35.1-metre Benetti motor yacht Hoshi is up for grabs and it’s sure to appease those with a penchant for luxury yachting. With a bewitching blend of design prowess and exceptional engineering, Hoshi, a part of the much-sought Benetti Classic 115 series, represents the epitome of comfort, style, and nautical competences.

Francois Zuretti and Marty Lowe were in charge of the yacht’s interiors, bestowing the senses with light, elegant spaces. The main saloon is no doubt the yacht’s place du jour, remarkable for its size on a 35-metre yacht. It is split into a lounge and dining area forward, with a bar interspersed between.

The crew quarters, built for six and with private access from the galley, ensure a discreet service. Another unique feature of the yacht is the sky lounge, which houses a large day head, making it possible for the area to double as an extra cabin should the need arise.

In the realm of outdoor spaces, Hoshi does not disappoint. The upper deck bestows a lavish social area with a bar and ample seating. The sundeck, completely refurbished recently, now boasts a Jacuzzi and expansive lounging areas. Both the upper deck aft and the main deck aft offer dedicated dining spaces, allowing guests to enjoy a varied ambience throughout the day and evening.

Over the years, Hoshi has seen substantial investment, including the installation of two new Zenoro generators in 2023, and an all-inclusive history of upgrades and refits, that add significantly to its value. The yacht features a major refit in 2014–15 valued at around €2,500,000, full engine and gearbox overhauls in 2017, Quantum stabiliser overhauls in 2018, and completion of her ABS A1 20-year class survey in 2020.

Hoshi is driven by twin 1350hp MTU diesel engines, giving a top speed of roughly 17 knots and cruising speed of 12 knots. Hoshi is currently docked in Italy, listed for sale at a compelling asking price of €4,500,000.

This yacht truly characterises a dream seafaring experience – offering a synthesis of grandiosity, comfort, and technical prowess.
