NELA

The 42-metre NELA is a compelling expression of contemporary Italian yachting. Built by Benetti in collaboration with long-time partners Stefano Righini and the French design studio Zuretti, she pairs bright and airy interiors with outdoor spaces fine-tuned for both privacy and conviviality. This charter favourite returns for the season with renewed spirit and subtle upgrades following a 2025 refit. From the expansive sun deck to the brand-new foredeck Jacuzzi, NELA is built for carefree days out on the water. Her bright interiors, welcoming layout, and seasoned crew ensure every detail is taken care of. NELA’s interior is a masterclass in understated elegance. Natural light pours through in oversized windows throughout the interior, playing across crisp linens and polished finishes. At the heart of the yacht is the main saloon with cream sofas by Fendi, with tan leather accents. It’s a space equally suited to conversation or quiet moments out of the sun. Above, the sky lounge offers a different mood, with low-slung sofas and a marble-topped bar, perfect for cocktail hour or movie nights on the large screen. A dining table for 12 is framed by floor-to-ceiling glass doors that slide open for formal dinners, always with the sea in view. Her crown jewel is a sprawling sun deck, where deep sink-in sofas, generous sunpads and loungers invite guests to unwind beneath a retractable sunshade. A large dining table sets the scene for leisurely lunches or relaxed dinners at anchor. Come sundown, a dropdown TV and high-spec sound system transform the space into a breezy open-air cinema. Up front, the foredeck invites afternoon lounging or a sunset aperitivo with oversized sunpads and cocktail tables. And at the stern, the aft deck pairs built-in sofas with bamboo armchairs, ideal for a shaded breakfast or a peaceful morning coffee with a view. NELA welcomes up to 10 guests across five bright and beautifully appointed cabins. The standout is the full-beam master suite on the main deck, where wraparound windows bathe the space in natural light and offer uninterrupted views across the bow. It also benefits from a spacious walk-in wardrobe, and a marble en suite with dual vanities and a rain shower. On the lower deck, three generous double staterooms and a twin cabin complete the guest accommodation. Each features an en suite with contemporary finishes and thoughtful detailing throughout. NELA comes fully equipped for fun on the water, offering a versatile collection of tenders and toys and will be available in summer 2026 with a fresh paint job.
