Does the thought of zipping off the turquoise waters of the Bahamas and Caribbean this winter appeal to you? We thought so. Well that’s unlikely for most of us – unless you have plans – but not for Captain Gui Garcia and his crew who will be doing just that in the luxury surroundings of Ocean Paradise, the latest Italian Superyacht to brace the world’s water. In one word: “wow”.
Specialists Benetti have distilled every aspect of contemporary yachting into 55m of flamboyant futurism, crafting a state-of-the-art yacht that only a few will be lucky enough to float on. As well as a vast panoramic Jacuzzi deck, this triple-tiered dynamo boasts a Japanese garden and push-button glass-mirror walls. Imagine an interior where Zen gardens stylishly mix with Carbon Fibre and toys from the original Space Invaders. Perfect mix, right?
Let’s take a look at some of its impressive features: the floor to ceiling windows evoke space and light, while Ocean Paradise comes with luxurious leather, wood and glass finishing throughout. The extensive panoramic sundeck comes complete with a Jacuzzi with massage fountains (it’s the small details that count), indoor/outdoor gym, dance floor with DJ Console & lights, bar with inbuilt TV and projector screen for al fresco cinema screenings (so on-trend right now).
The knockout factors don’t stop there. This beauty has a sky lounge with bar, a 55″ TV & Retro Arcade Games and a veritable armada of adrenaline-inducing water toys including Jet Skis, Sea Bobs, wakeboards, paddleboards, kayaks, towables and a jet-surf. It sleeps 10 comfortably in five cabins and has a VIP Cabin (that’ll be ours) on the bridge deck.
In one easy conclusion, Ocean Paradise offers all the ingredients to savour the sea in your very own world of ‘cool’, guaranteeing an experience as thrilling as it is glamorous.
