Just in time for the Cannes and Monaco Yacht Shows, the 50 metre Benetti Taiba completed her € 2,500,000 superyacht refit at the Palumbo shipyard in Naples, Italy. After a visit to the shipyard in July, SYT had the opportunity to see the “new” Taiba first hand.

One of the biggest changes to the yacht is a completely new interior to a design of Laura Pomponi of Luxury Projects. during the superyacht refit , most of the furniture in the saloons and dining areas have been replaced as well as the deck furniture. Other notable changes include a new entertainment system, new led light spots throughout the yacht, and a repaint of most of the exterior, amongst other repairs, changes and updates.

Taiba takes an important place in the history of her builder Benetti, who are celebrating their 140 anniversary this year, as she was the first superyacht in the shipyard’s highly successful Golden Bay series.

One of the reasons her new owner decided to buy Taiba was that she was in great condition following a refit last Summer at the Palumbo Shipyard in Naples, Italy. One of the biggest changes to the yacht was a completely new interior to a design of Laura Pomponi of Luxury Projects. During the refit, most of the furniture in the saloons and dining areas have been replaced as well as the deck furniture. Other notable changes include a new entertainment system, new led light spots throughout the yacht, and a repaint of most of the exterior, amongst other repairs, changes and updates.

With a master stateroom on the main deck, and two doubles and two twins with Pullmans on the lower deck, Taiba can welcome onboard up to 12 guests with a crew of 11.

Superyacht Taiba is offered for sale through Jimmy Broddesson of Bluewater with an asking price of € 8,900,000.
