7. Namaste ⏐ 121 ft Benetti
Brokers Review
When looking around Namaste, the first word that comes to mind is class. Her stunning interior is all beautiful wood with classic furniture, marble tops, golden trims, door handles, knobs, lamps, and bathroom taps. –She is a truly beautiful motor yacht. But you do not have to be a traditionalist the whole way through because when it comes to Namaste’s onboard entertainment, she’s got all the new stuff: Top-deck Jacuzzi, inflatable waterslide, huge selection of gym gear, floating dock off the beach deck + floating pavilion and enough water toys that you will have a new one for each half day. I also just want to mention that another big selling point of Nameste is her incredible volume; she is a 140′ yacht in disguise! This is no small deal in terms of what you get for your money!

6. Patience ⏐ 132 ft Benetti
Brokers Review
With Motor Yacht Patience, we are significantly increasing in size compared to the first yachts on my list and really upped the game in terms of onboard luxuries. This 132-foot Benetti was designed by the renowned Italian naval architect Stefano Righini. Recognized as one of the leading naval designers in the game, with his name on over 5,500 yachts, Righini has been called “the prime mover behind the most important light and space revolutions in yacht interiors over the last 20 years.” What does this mean? This means the design of this yacht is immaculate!
But back to Patience. Highlights include two on-deck Jacuzzis (rare for this size), a truly magnificent master suite (read more below), and floor-to-ceiling windows in the main salon, making the interior bright and airy. The yacht offers plenty of areas for sunbathing, dining, and socializing, both indoors and out. With stabilizers for smooth cruising, it’s ideal for longer journeys, even for those who aren’t too sea-strong.

The accommodation on Patience includes 5 spacious cabins for up to 10 guests. The master suite is located on the main deck and comes with its own private office, a foldout balcony, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious ensuite with a soaking tub and separate shower.

5. Amore ⏐ 121 ft Numarine
Brokers Review
Amore is a brand-new (built in 2022) 121-foot Numarine luxury performance motor yacht built for long-distance luxury cruising. –With a fuel consumption of only 55 US Gall/Hr, about half of Namaste, and a quarter of The Peddler, she is a super smart pick for ambitious charter itineraries. I also really like her shiny blue hull, which breaks the norm. –She will definitely stand out among all the generic white yachts. Amore is an overall great yacht with a modern interior design and great onboard amenities like a top-deck Jacuzzi with a bar top, a full movie theater with comfortable recliners, a grand beach club with a floating pavilion, and jet ski docking. –It’s like having your own private beach on the water, easy to launch water toys from, plus, there is an inflatable waterslide for getting in the water the fun way!
