Luxurious Ease
Perla is a near-new Benetti exemplifying Italian design
Our tender arrived at the marina before the sun had risen. Navigating through the waters of Miami in the dark was an eerie experience. Passing between the million dollar listings of Fisher Island and 300 meter tankers seemed ironic, yet natural for a busy intracoastal. As we made our way around Fisher Island, the silhouette of Perla emerged. Gracefully anchored off Fisher Island, we were met with the sun as we climbed aboard.
First impressions are everything - an adage perfectly suited for Perla. Contemporary interior with comfortable furnishings are complimented by colorful artwork. An interior designed by Francois Zuretti speaks for itself by infusing a classiness with modern touch. As the sun rose higher, the soft light introduced itself through the full-height windows creating a glorious, golden glow. Equipped with a tasteful dining table and full bar, lounge seating and entertainment; the salon offers a cavernous capacity and scenic outlook.
Suited to welcome up to 12 guests, six luxurious staterooms await to awe the guests with functionality and space. Also onboard are the VIP, two doubles and two twins room, all providing a comfortable area for guests to enjoy.

The Italian design of Perla is evermore apparent entering the full-beam master bedroom. Upon entering the room you are met with a dazzling display of design. This design does not waste any space and provides use in all areas. On each side of the bed are doors that open to a his & hers bathroom. Arranged for the ever-needed space and privacy often compromised on other builds. With enough room to lounge comfortably in peace, enjoy the views, or simply use for a comfortable night, the master is second to none in providing a full experience.
The exterior of Perla provided even more space to enjoy - starting with a sheltered dining area on the main aft deck (see below). A perfect place for guests to savor the view & enjoy the space. Moving up to the upper deck, an al fresco dining & bar area is adjoined by a relaxed seating area. Over 100 square meters of sun deck provides a stand-out design and a popular area for all to enjoy. The forward deck provides more seating and sun pads along with a jacuzzi; another inviting space to socialize and relax.
After spending 9 hours on board capturing the interior, exterior, amenities, and aerials, we ended the day with our running shots. Cruising at a steady 12 knots, Perla cut through the water seamlessly, almost like we were gliding.
Perla is a top-of-the-line build in numerous ways. Her ability to intertwine functionality with design, provide space and amenities, and above all, gracious in her appearance is apparent from the moment you step aboard. Perla is a top of the line yacht from one of the best builders in the world.
Perla is the tenth yacht in Benetti’s acclaimed Classic Supreme 132 line.
