BENITA BLUE: A Sorgiovanni Masterpiece Redefining Value in the 30-35m Market
Immaculately refitted in 2024 and berthed in Palma, this striking 33.7m performer offers exceptional speed, sophisticated styling, and a Spanish charter licence, all for €2,300,000
There are yachts that simply transport you from one anchorage to the next, and then there are yachts that announce your arrival before you have even dropped the fenders. BENITA BLUE belongs firmly to the latter category. With her sleek, sporty lines penned by the celebrated Australian designer Sam Sorgiovanni, this 33.7 metre motor yacht is, quite simply, a real head-turner in any marina, and now, following a comprehensive 2024 refit, she is presented in absolute mint condition and offered for sale through NICHOLSON, the original yacht charter company, established in Antigua in 1949.
For buyers scanning the 30 to 35 metre motor yacht market, BENITA BLUE represents a rare combination of pedigree design, genuine performance, and sensible pricing. She is not simply another yacht for sale, she is an opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind vessel at a figure that comfortably undercuts comparable tonnage elsewhere in the market.
Design & Exterior: The Only One of Her Kind
BENITA BLUE is the sole 110 Evolution model ever built by Evolution Yachts of Australia, delivered in 2005 and originally christened Salacia. Her exterior and interior were both conceived by Sam Sorgiovanni, a designer renowned for marrying muscular, athletic profiles with refined, livable interiors. The result is a yacht that reads as sporty and purposeful from every angle, yet never sacrifices the comfort her owners and guests expect.
Her GRP semi-displacement hull, finished with a teak deck and GRP superstructure, was engineered by naval architect Peter Lowe for both speed and seaworthiness. With a beam of 7 metres and a shallow draft of just 1.3 metres (1.7 metres at maximum), she is as comfortable navigating the shallower waters of the Balearics as she is crossing open sea. Topside, her sundeck spa pool and jacuzzi anchor a generous entertaining space, complemented by multiple dining and lounging areas spread across her decks, ensuring there is always a spot to catch the sun or retreat into the shade.
Interior & Accommodation: Comfort Without Compromise
Below decks, BENITA BLUE accommodates eight guests across four thoughtfully arranged staterooms, comprising a master suite, one double cabin, and two twin cabins. The master suite is a particular highlight, featuring a his-and-hers bathroom configuration that speaks to the kind of considered detailing Sorgiovanni interiors are known for.
The yacht is well suited to family charter or ownership use, with a child-friendly setup that makes her as practical for multi-generational holidays as she is elegant for sophisticated entertaining. Onboard Wi-Fi ensures guests remain connected when required, while a crew of five to six stands ready to deliver the kind of attentive, seamless service that defines a true luxury charter experience. Following her 2024 refit, every surface, fitting, and system has been brought to a standard that feels every bit as fresh as a newly delivered yacht, without the premium price tag that would normally accompany such a build.
Performance & Engineering: Speed That Sets Her Apart
Where BENITA BLUE truly distinguishes herself is in her performance. Powered by two MTU diesel engines, she delivers a top speed of 25 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 22 knots, figures that place her meaningfully above the average for her size range, by some 1.3 knots at top speed and 2.15 knots at cruising speed. For owners who value not just arriving in style but arriving promptly, this is a yacht that rewards impatience.
With a 16,500 litre fuel capacity and a range of 1,200 nautical miles at 17 knots, BENITA BLUE is equally capable of extended Mediterranean cruising as she is of swift day trips between favourite anchorages. Her 182 GT measurement and 227,076 lb displacement strike a sensible balance, substantial enough to feel stable and secure underway, yet nimble enough to deliver the kind of sporty handling her exterior styling promises.
The NICHOLSON Advantage
Buying a yacht of this calibre demands more than a listing, it demands a partner with genuine authority in the market. NICHOLSON has been at the forefront of the charter and brokerage world since 1949, and our seventy-five years of experience mean we understand precisely what distinguishes a yacht like BENITA BLUE from the rest of the field. We know her history, her performance characteristics, and her true value within the current market, and we bring that knowledge directly to every conversation with serious buyers.
Her Spanish charter licence adds a further commercial dimension that NICHOLSON clients will immediately appreciate, allowing a new owner to generate charter income within Spanish waters from day one of ownership, a meaningful advantage in a market where such licences are increasingly difficult to secure. Combined with her current berth in Palma, at the prestigious Port Adriano, BENITA BLUE is positioned at the very heart of Mediterranean yachting, ready for immediate deployment into the charter season or private use.
Exceptional Value in a Competitive Market
At €2,300,000, BENITA BLUE is priced well below what buyers would typically expect to pay for a 30 to 35 metre motor yacht of comparable design pedigree, performance, and recent refit standard. A unique Sorgiovanni design, a 2024 refit, class-leading speed, and a Spanish charter licence rarely converge at this price point, and prospective owners who understand the market will recognise this as a genuinely compelling acquisition.
