NELA

NELA is a 42-metre GRP motor yacht built by Benetti in 2014 on the Crystal 140' platform, most recently refitted in 2025, and registered under the Cayman Islands flag. Her exterior was designed by Stefano Righini and her interiors by Zuretti Interior Design — a pairing that reflects the Benetti house approach to proportioned volume and warm, Italian residential interiors. At 467 gross tonnes on a 42-metre hull, she is among the more volume-generous vessels in her length class, and the 2025 refit places her in current condition.

Accommodating 10 guests across five cabins with a crew of nine, NELA operates at a crew ratio well suited to personalised service within an Italian western Mediterranean charter programme. Her regions cover the French Riviera, Monaco, Corsica, Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast, Calvi, and the broader Italian coast. She is a well-matched option for couples or families who place interior quality and Italian craftsmanship above extensive range or passage-making ambitions. Those seeking Caribbean or Atlantic itineraries, or a large active group experience, will find this a more limited proposition.

The Benetti Crystal 140' platform is known for its generous beam and interior volume relative to length, producing saloons and cabins that feel spacious without requiring a longer hull. A range of 4,000 nautical miles reflects a capability well beyond her immediate charter regions, providing operational flexibility for repositioning. The 2025 refit brings systems, soft furnishings, and potentially technical components to current standards. At-anchor and underway stabilisers are fitted, and underwater lights extend evening use of the swimming platform.

Life aboard NELA is organised around outdoor access and entertainment. A beach club, sun deck, sunpads, outdoor bar, outdoor cinema, and swimming platform deliver a complete range of deck environments. The watersports inventory on this charter yacht includes two Seadoo jet-skis, two Seabobs, a Jetsurf, flyboard, water-ski, wakeboard, kneeboard, inflatable kayak, and scuba equipment for four — a contemporary active programme. Wi-Fi and full air conditioning are confirmed throughout.

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