Overview

RETRIEVER is a 2013 Benetti Classic 121 that was purchased by her current owner just over 2 years ago and has been privately used since with light cruising in the Bahamas while spending her summer months in New England.

RETRIEVER comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests in 5 cabins including a spacious master en-suite located forward on the main deck. Originally built with an upgrade interior decor package by Zuretti which makes her stand out against other Benetti 121 Classics. Another notable upgrade is her massive jacuzzi located on the flybridge which I believe is the largest factory installed jacuzzi ever featured on a 121 Classic.

Over $1MM USD has been invested into the yacht within the last year with the majority going towards mechanical & systems upgrades such as completing her 10 Year RINA Class Survey which included major overhauls on her engines & generators (250 hours on the engines SMOH). A new HVAC system is scheduled to be outfitted at LMC when she arrives mid-September with new A/C chillers being installed. 

RETRIEVER is being sold with a full assortment of toys including a new Williams 550 jet tender. She represents a turn-key situation and is the best valued Benetti on the market today. 

She is Cayman flagged and commercially registered as the owner intended on entering her back into the charter market this coming winter season before deciding to sell. She does have an excellent charter history in her past life when she was based in the Mediterranean and named DYNA so a new owner could easily regain that loyal charter following with little effort. 

RETRIEVER sleeps 10 guests in 5 staterooms plus crew accommodations for 7 with three double cabins below and the captain's cabin on the upper deck. 

RETRIEVER is not your average Benetti Classic. She shares the same versatile design as her Benetti Classic sisters, giving her the guest-centric layout, flexible accommodation and impressive open deck spaces that are characteristic of this popular model, but with upgrades and features that include a retractable hard top Bimini over the sun deck, large portholes in the hull, a sizable Jacuzzi and a modern, beach-house style interior. She is one of the most highly optioned Benetti Classic 121s not just on the market, but ever built.

RETRIEVER is a much-loved family yacht that previously built an enviable charter reputation when she was named DYNA based in the Mediterranean. Versatile and packed with a range of onboard amenities, this is a fantastic opportunity for a buyer that is looking for a fun, reliable yacht under 500GT that is ready to go.

RETRIEVER is light and spacious, and made to feel even more so with large windows found throughout both the main salon and sky-lounge complimented by a neutral, modern interior by Italian design firm Zuretti. The design combines soft, tactile textures with a palette of warm, light neutrals to create a casual chic that could rival any Miami Beach house. Stylish yet functional, RETRIEVER offers multiple spaces for unwinding and relaxing, and has child-friendly features such as safety gates throughout, ensuring total peace of mind.

As mentioned before RETRIEVER accommodates up to 12 guests in five flexible cabins. The spectacular full beam owner's cabin, situated on the main deck, has a private study, walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom with his and hers areas and forward views. Four spacious cabins are found on the lower deck- two VIP cabins and two twin cabins with Pullmans, all with ensuite facilities. 

A highlight onboard and the favorite place to relax by the owner & his family is the sundeck complete with al fresco dining, massive Jacuzzi, extended hard top with retractable sunshades and movie nights under the stars. A transom swim platform opens to reveal a large tender garage, filled with a wide arrange of toys including 2 full size jet skis and a brand new Williams 550 jet tender. With multiple full service bars and dining spaces across all three decks, plus a dumb waiter that allows seamless service across all three, RETRIEVER excels when it comes to entertaining & providing silver service. 

RETRIEVER is a best buy opportunity and represents excellent value.
