SailAway Yacht Charter Consultants

The luxury motor yacht XANADU offers 12 guests the ultimate in comfort and luxury. 
 
Large and impressive, this 60m (196 ft) steel tri-deck super yacht was built by the renowned Benetti shipyard in Italy.  Lasting quality, design and styling are the benchmarks of this famous builder.  After the recent launches of Amnesia, Alibella and Latinou, Benetti has raised the bar with the launch of the much-anticipated Xanadu. An evolution in design, her interior and exterior are innovatively styled by Andrew Winch. Neil Cheston of CNI supervised construction and following her sea trials this luxury charter yacht will be available for reservations at the end of August.

The yacht can accommodate 12 guests, served by a professional crew of 16. The layout has been conceived to enhance social life aboard, from relaxing in the sundeck pool, to dining in style on the bridgedeck verandah, to chatting at the maindeck bar or going afloat with the yacht’s extensive range of craft and watersports.

Xanadu boasts a beautiful interior designed by the celebrated Andrew Winch.  The interior of this mega yacht is inspired by the grand hotels of the Italian Rivera.

The central, cantilevered floating staircase rises from the lower deck to the upper deck, forming the heart of the yacht linking her expansive sundeck with her dining area, and upper deck.

The perfect layout for a Mediterranean yacht charter, this luxury motor yacht provides particularly open, spacious, and functional outdoor entertainment areas whether on the aft decks, sundeck, or transom. Charter guests will be impressed with a gymnasium on the sundeck as well as a large Jacuzzi, wet bar, and Tappenyaki grill.
 
Entertainment comes from a state-of-the-art audio visual package, including a Kaleidascape system with movies-on-demand, portable karaoke, and a full disco and bandstand on her Sun Deck.  A spacious swim platform and water sports center is featured on her transom.

There are accommodations for up to 12 guests including a unique and especially large and luxurious owner’s suite with the bedroom raised above the lounge and the bathroom on a panoramic deck.  Adjacent to the Owner’s suite is a small cabin for use by staff. Below, there is a full beam VIP stateroom, and four spacious double staterooms, all of which have the option to convert to twin beds.

Power is derived from two Caterpillar 3512 main engines, allowing the yacht to cruise at 15 knots. 

Tenders & Toys include a custom 7.5 meter Tresco tender with 300hp Volvo and Rolls Royce waterjet engines.  There is also a 5 meter Novurania RIB tender with 160hp Volvo out drive power.  The most unique toy onboard has to be the Hovpod 3-man personal hovercraft.  Her standard toys (found on most mega yachts) include 2 Yamaha VX Cruiser wave runners, plus 2 Hobie canoes, water-skis, wakeboards, game fishing gear, beach game equipment, and a fun-filled portable karaoke.

Captain Paul Brackley, from England, will head the maiden crew of 16. Paul believes that a charter yacht should be at the pinnacle of the hospitality industry and has assembled a team with one object in mind - your ultimate yacht charter vacation experience.
