DILARA is a Benetti motor yacht whose layout gives each part of the party its own ground. Right at the front of her main deck, the master suite stretches across the full breadth of the hull and is set over stepped levels. It has tall ceilings, broad windows, a desk for whatever work follows you aboard and a private door out to the bow. Higher up, a VIP suite has a king-sized bed, a sitting room and a dressing room of its own. Below, more double cabins each have an en suite bathroom, so couples sharing the yacht can keep well apart when they wish.
The sun deck is where the day gathers. A Jacuzzi, a cocktail bar and deep loungers share the open deck, so a late breakfast can drift into a swim and then into drinks as the light softens. A lift serves every guest deck, which means grandparents and small children reach the water's edge or the top of the yacht without climbing a stair. The baby swimming pool gives the youngest guests a safe place to splash. Her stabilisers keep her steady on passage, and equally so when she is lying off a beach.
On the water, she carries an E-foil (Audi e-tron foil), a Seabob and a SeaDoo RXT X. Jobe wakeboards, slalom skis and Jobe Hemi water skis wait for anyone who likes a tow. Towables from Jobe and Airhead, a Jobe multi-rider banana, Nautibuoy platforms and the Aquaglide Ricochet Bouncer aqua park suit a lively crowd. Kayaks, a Jobe Yarra inflatable paddle board, a fishing rod and snorkelling equipment suit quieter hours. A Castoldi jet tender and a Williams Dieseljet take guests ashore, with a Zodiac rescue boat in support. Indoors, a gym and a sauna keep routines intact.
Many of her crew have worked together for years, and it shows in the ease of the service. Her chefs will cook to the moment rather than to a set menu, and each day's plans are shaped around how the party feels that morning. She cruises from Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Her waters also take in Albania, Croatia, France, Italy, Malta, Montenegro, Slovenia and Turkey, with Greece among them too. The same crew and the same unhurried rhythm travel with you, whichever coastline you choose.
