Yacht Description
Oasis-style water access. NORTHERN ESCAPE is a 2022 Benetti around 133ft (40.5–40.8m) built to keep everyone close to the ocean, with a terraced beach club and fold-down sea-level side platforms that make swimming and watersports feel effortless. Quick dip. Repeat.
Two Jacuzzis, no waiting. There is an infinity Jacuzzi pool down at the beach club plus a sundeck Jacuzzi, so you can split the group between “soak and talk” and “sun and silence” without a scheduling meeting.
Toys for serious water time. The lineup is stacked: 2 x Seabobs, 2 x Flite boards / e-foils, 2 x Ravik jet boards, wakeboard, water skis, towables (banana and couch), inflatable kayaks and paddleboards, plus snorkelling gear and fishing gear. There’s also a Castoldi jet tender for quick runs to and from the action.
Flexible sleep for 12. She sleeps 12 guests with a main-deck master suite and a layout that’s described as either five suites or up to six staterooms depending on configuration, including two VIP cabins and convertible twin arrangements with Pullman berths.
