Detailed description

Benetti’s Classic 120 SOHO is a full‑displacement tri‑deck motor yacht presenting in outstanding turnkey condition after a comprehensive refit in 2025. Built in 2009 by Benetti to ABS (Commercial) class, with GRP hull and superstructure over teak decks, she blends Italian pedigree with bluewater capability. Naval architecture is by Benetti, exterior by Stefano Righini Design, interiors by Zuretti Design. Identifiers include Hull No. 120, MMSI 232046601 and call sign MNIB7, flying the United Kingdom flag. At 36.57 m LOA (120'0") with a 31.48 m LWL (103'3"), a 7.86 m beam (25'9") and 2.50 m max draft (8'2"), she carries 299 GT and 89 NT, with an approximate half‑load displacement of 260 tons, an ideal platform for private use or charter yacht operations.

Power comes from twin MTU 12V 2000 M91 diesels, each 1,119 kW (1,501 Hp), driving shaftlines with five‑blade propellers and a rudder angle up to 35 degrees through ZF Marine ZF3351 gearboxes. She reaches 16 knots max, cruises comfortably at 12 knots, and delivers a 3,300 nm range at 12 knots. Indicative consumption is 440 l/h (116 US gal/h) at 16 knots and 240 l/h (63 US gal/h) at 12 knots. NAIAD VTNM 525 zero‑speed stabilisers enhance comfort at anchor and underway, complemented by a NAIAD hydraulic bow thruster. Steering is via twin BCS units (8.6 litres, 78 bar). Electrical systems by Cantaloupe meet ABS requirements with 220 VAC, three‑phase, 50 Hz and 24 VDC distribution, backed by a new Magnus 80 kVA 440/220 V shore‑power transformer, deep‑cycle gel batteries, and Mastervolt chargers upgraded in 2025. Generator power is provided by two Kohler 80 kW (107 Hp) diesel sets. As of 18 August 2025, main engines show Port 4,397 hours and Starboard 4,420 hours, both benefitting from a QL4 full rebuild during the 2023/24 winter refit; generators show Port 13,636 hours and Starboard 14,244 hours, with a 10,000‑hour rebuild in 2023.

Hotel systems are equally robust: six Condaria compressors deliver 144,000 BTU of air conditioning, with all interior fan coils replaced in 2024. Water production is via Idromar MC9 Duplex at 18,000 litres/day (two units at 380 l/h), conditioned by an Octo Marine softener. Fuel quality is managed by Alfa Laval separator and centrifuge. Black‑ and grey‑water are handled by Hamann and Ecomar treatment plants, while the Tecma/Jet Jets vacuum toilet system received pump rebuilds in 2024. A dual‑PLC monitoring backbone with two computers over Ethernet and a completely new Praxis alarm system (2024) supervises diesel generators, electrical power, main engines, bilge and tank levels, external doors, batteries, navigation and miscellaneous alarms, giving the captain a commercial‑grade overview.

Her capacities suit extended luxury yacht cruising: fuel 43,000 litres (11,359 US gal), fresh water 7,700 litres (2,034 US gal), lube oil 540 litres (143 US gal), dirty oil 540 litres (143 US gal), grey water 1,786 litres (472 US gal) and black water 2,974 litres (786 US gal).
