ODYSSEY III

Liz Downes reimagined ODYSSEY III's interior spaces around an expansive sun deck that transforms the 1967 Benetti into a floating observatory. The sprawling upper deck stretches nearly the full 32.8-meter length, creating multiple zones for morning yoga sessions, afternoon lounging, and evening cocktails under open sky. Custom banquettes curve along the perimeter while a central bar anchors the space, all positioned to maximize the panoramic views that make this deck the yacht's social epicenter. Below deck, Downes' interiors complement the outdoor focus with light-filled salons that draw the eye upward and outward. Her material palette emphasizes natural textures and warm neutrals that never compete with the seascape beyond the windows. Nine guests find themselves naturally gravitating back to that commanding sun deck, where the original Benetti lines from 1967 frame contemporary comfort in perfect proportion. Seven crew members orchestrate the onboard experience with practiced discretion, ensuring the sun deck remains the heart of daily life aboard ODYSSEY III. From sunrise coffee service to sunset aperitifs, this elevated outdoor room delivers exactly what Downes intended: a space where guests can fully inhabit the maritime experience while surrounded by thoughtfully curated comfort.
