HOSHI

Stefano Righini's exterior lines for HOSHI create an unusually intimate profile for a 35-meter yacht, with proportions that emphasize horizontal flow over imposing height. The Italian designer's approach favors continuous sight lines from bow to stern, allowing guests to maintain visual connection with the water from nearly every exterior vantage point. This 2000 Benetti motor yacht accommodates eight guests with a crew of six, establishing an unusually high service ratio that translates to highly personalized attention throughout each charter. The collaboration between interior designers Francois Zuretti and Marty Lowe brings together European precision with contemporary American comfort sensibilities, creating spaces that feel both refined and genuinely livable. HOSHI's 7.62-meter beam provides substantial interior volume while maintaining the sleek proportions that define Righini's exterior aesthetic. The yacht's 247 gross tonnage is distributed to maximize both private retreat spaces and social gathering areas, with the design team's careful attention to scale preventing the interior from feeling either cramped or oversized. Benetti's construction expertise from this era emphasized solid engineering foundations that support long-range cruising capabilities. The naval architecture maintains stability in various sea conditions while preserving the smooth ride quality that allows guests to fully disconnect from shoreside concerns. Each day aboard unfolds with the kind of unhurried luxury that only comes from having every detail thoughtfully resolved before departure.
