Description
Delivered by Benetti in 1995 and refitted from bow to stern between 2023 and 2025, SOLAFIDE has been brought firmly into the modern era. While her profile remains unmistakably Benetti, it has been refined under the eye of Tommaso Spadolini, and nearly every element beneath the surface has been renewed, including a full repaint, rebuilt engines, upgraded systems, and reconfigured interior spaces. The deck areas have also been rethought, with a reimagined aft lounge that makes use of her folddown bulwarks, and a sundeck now capable of supporting helicopter operations. With a steel hull and a 4,600-nautical mile range, SOLAFIDE is a thoroughly renewed Benetti built for serious cruising.
SOLAFIDE offers the enduring appeal of classic Benetti design with a modern edge. Between 2023 and 2024, her exterior was comprehensively reworked under the direction of Tomasso Spadolini, with improvements made to both aesthetics and functionality. The expansive 120 sqm sundeck, extended as part of the refit, is now helicopter-capable with an H laid into the teak. A Jacuzzi sits at the centre, with 360-degree views and freestanding lounge furniture that allows for easy reconfiguration, giving an incoming owner the freedom to personalise the space. The main deck aft, previously dedicated solely to tender storage, has been reconfigured for dual use and now doubles as an alfresco lounge, with fold-down terraces that extend the space. Alfresco dining areas are positioned across the main, bridge, and sundecks, each offering wind protection and flexible furnishings.
The interior of SOLAFIDE was redesigned by Supernova Design Studio as part of her major refit. Warm woods, soft lighting, and a neutral palette are paired with custom furnishings and onyx details, creating a bright and contemporary atmosphere. The main salon features panoramic windows, a lounge area, and a custom dining table, with a sliding glass partition that allows the two areas to be separated. Above, the upper salon offers a more intimate setting with a circular table and sofas, and can also be configured as an additional guest cabin or private cinema room. Integrated LED lighting and mood controls are preprogrammed for seamless day-to-night transitions, with hidden AV systems and custom furniture concealing generous storage to keep spaces uncluttered.
SOLAFIDE welcomes up to 12 guests in six beautifully appointed cabins, each designed to adapt to families, couples, or charter groups. The main deck master was completely redesigned during the refit and features a private office/lounge that can be converted into a media room or an adjoining kids cabin, along with a walk-in wardrobe and a his-and-hers marble bathroom. A new VIP suite was added during the refit, while the lower deck hosts four additional guest cabins: two doubles and two twins, one of which converts to a double. Both twins include Pullman berths, and each cabin features an en suite, high-quality joinery, and generous storage. A soft, neutral palette and large windows fill the cabins with natural light. Crew accommodation for 12 is smartly positioned forward, with a private mess and galley access to maintain guest privacy and efficient service.
Over the past two years, SOLAFIDE has undergone a transformative, multi-million-euro refit that earned her a nomination for ‘Best Refit of the Year’ (499GT and below) at the 2025 World Superyacht Awards. Carried out between 2023 and 2025, work included:
