IL SOLE 1994 147' 4" BENETTI Motor Yacht

Il Sole is a stunning 147’ Benetti designed for luxurious transoceanic cruising. Exterior styling by Stefano Natucci features classic lines, oversize windows, and generous outdoor spaces. Modern interiors by Candy and Candy infuse traditional elements with contemporary panache. Exquisite craftsmanship is evident throughout the build, which was originally constructed for the private use of one of Benetti’s owners. 

Intelligent architecture provides excellent circulation, generous spaces and greater flexibility. State-of-the-art engineering, entertainment systems and modern amenities blend seamlessly in an ambiance of Old World grandeur. Hints at the Golden Era of yachting are embodied in the curvilinear joinery of exotic woods, the liberal use of elegant marbles, sensual silk wall coverings and carpeting, Lalique glass fixtures and decorative fine art.
