FREEMONT

FREEMONT is a 35-metre custom steel displacement yacht built by Benetti in 1983 and comprehensively refitted in 2017, registered under the Cook Islands flag. Her in-house Benetti design, both exterior and interior, reflects the Italian yard's approach to workmanlike construction in an era when superyacht building was a more specialised discipline. Four decades of hull life, combined with a substantial refit, produces a vessel whose structural integrity carries the weight of experience — and whose operating costs are generally better understood than those of newer builds.

Accommodating up to 10 guests across five cabins, FREEMONT is best suited to couples, small families, and groups who value a relaxed, unfussy charter experience in the western Mediterranean. A crew of seven is well matched to the vessel's scale, maintaining a personal dynamic aboard. Her charter regions are centred on the Italian and French Rivieras, the Amalfi Coast, Corsica, Sardinia, and Monaco — the classic western Mediterranean circuit for which a vessel of this profile is well suited. Those seeking a high-volume, activity-intensive programme may find her specification modest by current standards.

Benetti's steel construction methods of the early 1980s produced robust hulls with straightforward maintenance profiles. The 2017 refit would have addressed the vessel's key mechanical systems, interior spaces, and deck equipment, returning her to a serviceable and comfortable charter standard. At 35 metres and with a displacement form, she covers the western Mediterranean's sheltered waters efficiently at 10 knots cruise, and her 2,400-nautical-mile range comfortably supports passage-making between France, Italy, and Corsica without fuel stops.

On deck, FREEMONT offers a clean, uncluttered layout with stabilisers both at anchor and underway ensuring steady conditions for dining and socialising. The water sports inventory includes Seabobs, wake board, kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkelling equipment, covering most leisure requirements in the anchorages of Sardinia and the Amalfi coast. Crane facilities assist with water sports and tender operations. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi complete the amenity profile. She is a straightforward, honest vessel for guests whose priority is the destination over the platform.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
