ARTISAN, featuring a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, claims the prestigious title of World Superyacht Awards Winner in 2020 and Best Exterior Design at the World Yacht Trophies in 2019. The yacht's construction predominantly showcases carbon, polished steel, and bleached oak, elegantly enhanced with luxurious leather inserts. Among her unique features, ARTISAN boasts a generous VIP cabin on the main deck with a private lounge and adjoining double cabin, a convivial sky lounge featuring a grand piano and American-style bar, an impressive beach club for indoor-outdoor living and entertainment, and a fully equipped gym for onboard fitness.

At 63m (207ft) with five decks including a top level gym and yoga deck perched high above the sundeck, ARTISAN is one of the largest yachts built by the Benetti shipyard – arguably Italy’s finest shipyard – with elegant full custom exterior lines drawn by Giorgio Cassetta. She is a highly versatile yacht suitable for families, sport enthusiasts and hosting large gatherings. Truly unique, ARTISAN represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly profitable yacht with remarkable charter potential and rapid cost recovery capabilities, all backed by her proven success in the charter market.

Dickie Bannenberg, one of the yacht’s interior designers who expresses his enthusiasm for the endeavor, noted that the unique layout of ARTISAN allowed him and his team to break free from the constraints of alignment, enabling the exploration of new angles and perspectives in asymmetrical design. This approach is notably evident in the beach club, where rooms have been rotated by approximately 30° compared to conventional layouts, providing a fresh outlook over the sea through the transom and side doors. The novelty of this particular rotation also characterizes the main salon and the upper deck salon, challenging conventional expectations and perceptions.

Her vast 1,245 GT of internal living space represents a collaborative effort between German studio Birgit Otte Interior, headquartered in Wolfersdorf, and Bannenberg & Rowell, an English design studio led by Dickie Bannenberg and Simon Rowell. This London-based duo is renowned for their imaginative use of bold shapes and geometric elements, resulting in visually striking designs with impeccable craftsmanship. They were granted considerable creative freedom in the project.

The master suite is incredibly spacious, spanning 160 square meters. It features an office and a lounge area, two dressing rooms, two interconnected bathrooms, and a stunning array of forward-facing windows that provide an awe-inspiring 180-degree panoramic view. Additionally, the forward-facing bed offers a captivating vista, overlooking a generous private bow terrace equipped with seating and sunpads at the forefront.

On the main deck, ARTISAN offers a spacious VIP cabin. This unique sanctuary is adorned with exquisite furnishings and craftsmanship. It also features an adjoining double cabin, and a private VIP lounge with panoramic ocean views, creating an exclusive retreat for relaxation and entertainment.
