ODYSSEY III

ODYSSEY III is a 33-metre custom steel motor yacht built by Benetti in 1967 and comprehensively refitted in 2023, with exterior and interior design by the Benetti Style Department. Her longevity is a testament to the build standards of that era of Italian yard construction, and the 2023 refit brings her systems and finish to contemporary charter expectations. At 167 GT, she presents as a classically proportioned vessel with the character of a heritage build.

With capacity for eight guests across four cabins, ODYSSEY III is best suited to smaller groups — couples, families with children, or close friends — who value intimacy and personal service over scale. A crew of six for eight guests delivers a notably attentive service ratio. Her charter regions are concentrated in the Western Mediterranean: France, the French Riviera, Monaco, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy including the Amalfi Coast, Ibiza, and the Balearics. She is less appropriate for those seeking extended Atlantic or Caribbean itineraries given her 2,750-nautical-mile range.

The character of ODYSSEY III is defined by the combination of Benetti heritage and the thoroughness of her recent refit. A Portuguese bridge adds navigational presence and a period aesthetic detail rarely found on newer builds. At-anchor stabilisers contribute to guest comfort when moored, while underwater lights extend the atmosphere of evenings at anchor. The bathing platform and exterior bar reinforce her identity as a yacht best experienced in sheltered bays and well-appointed ports.

Onboard, the mood is one of measured elegance consistent with her Italian pedigree. Water sports provision covers wakeboarding, water skiing, an inflatable paddleboard, a doughnut towable, and snorkelling equipment — a practical selection for a yacht of this scale. The bathing platform provides straightforward water access, and the exterior bar and BBQ support al fresco dining in the manner the Mediterranean circuit demands.

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