The owners specifically requested that the crew quarters include materials and furnishings of a similar quality to those used in the guest accommodation, making working conditions on board more comfortable for her 17 crew members. With an exterior designed by Giorgio M Casseta, Calex is an entirely custom project built in steel and aluminium with a seven-cabin layout that can accommodate 14 guests. The accreditation is thanks to a scrubbing system for the exhaust gases from both the propulsion and generating systems. Now offered for charter for the first time, images have been revealed of her contemporary interiors ahead of her inaugural charter season.ĭelivered to an experienced American owner in spring 2022, the 67m Calex was the first custom project of this size to fully comply with TIER III regulations. M/Y “Calex” is the 67-metre full custom yacht launched today in Livorno by Benetti, with delivery to the owner planned for this spring.Having been launched in February 2022, the 67-metre (219-foot) Benetti yacht known as Calex has remained a closely guarded secret. Bespoke in every detail, the yacht has indoor and outdoor spaces that ensure absolute privacy and comfort and cater to the owner’s passion for exercise and well-being. Cassetta Yacht Designers developed the streamlined, well-proportioned exterior contours, while the interiors designed by the Benetti Style Department feature alternating light and dark colour shades, with the extensive use of maple and American walnut, ivory-coloured leathers, and white statuary and crema marfil marble. The fabrics used for the decorative cushions are by Loro Piana Interiors. The yacht extends across five enclosed decks, plus a Sundeck, and stands out for her perfectly balanced volumes. The interiors were fitted out using the ‘box in box’ method and meet the highest construction standards, testifying yet again to the shipyard’s exceptional craftsmanship, with new technology used on “Calex” to minimise noise transmission and ensure silent navigation at a speed of 12 knots. The stand-out feature of this 67-metre yacht is the Upper Deck, which has a surface area of 160 square metres devoted entirely to the owner’s personal spaces. A huge Master Cabin, containing a spacious suite, an elegant double bathroom, a private office and a walk-in wardrobe, extends from midships onto the foredeck outside and offers a 180-degree view, with two curved automatic sliding doors opening out onto an exclusive lounge area furnished with chaises longues, armchairs, a table and an original gas fireplace. While wide open, it is a very private space, much of which cannot be seen from the upper decks as a result of the carefully planned volumes and depths. The foredeck can also be used as a touch and go helicopter pad, giving the owner the greatest possible freedom when coming on board. On the same deck, an open area in the stern, with a dining table and a relaxation area furnished with armchairs and other seating, is complemented by an interior lounge with a TV cabinet. The stern area on the Main Deck hosts guests in a spacious open-air lounge, while inside we find the main lounge, with a table seating 12, sofas and armchairs, followed by the galley. The owner also wanted two large VIP cabins on this deck, one on each side of the yacht, with two garages of different sizes in the bow for the main tender and various water toys.
