SEAGULL MRD

Benetti's steel hull construction anchors SEAGULL MRD in a tradition of robust ocean-going capability that defines this 2020-delivered 49.9-meter motor yacht. The Italian shipyard's choice of steel over aluminum creates a vessel with exceptional structural integrity and impressive 4,000-nautical-mile range, positioning her for extended Mediterranean passages without compromise. The six-cabin layout distributes guests across three decks with careful attention to hierarchy and privacy. A primary stateroom claims prime real estate on the main deck, while the bridge deck houses a generously proportioned VIP suite. Four additional guest cabins occupy the lower deck, each with dedicated en-suite facilities and double berths measuring 200 centimeters in length. SEAGULL MRD's 13.6-knot cruising speed reflects Benetti's focus on efficiency over pure performance, though her MAN engines push the yacht to a respectable 16-knot maximum when conditions demand. Her 8.9-meter beam creates interior volume that registers above average for yachts in the 45-to-50-meter category, translating to more generous public spaces and cabin dimensions. Water sports equipment fills every category from traditional to cutting-edge. An 11-meter Pirelli chase boat powered by twin Mercruiser engines supports skiing and wakeboarding, while two SeaBob F5 units and an electric Fliteboard e-foil set cater to underwater exploration and hydrofoil surfing. Paired Sea-Doo watercraft from 2023 and 2024 provide high-speed touring options. Based in Trogir, Croatia, the yacht operates throughout Western, Eastern, and Central Mediterranean waters. Her 499-gross-ton displacement and steel construction deliver the stability and seakeeping that make extended cruising programs practical rather than merely aspirational. Benetti handled both naval architecture and interior design, creating unified spaces that reflect the shipyard's contemporary approach to luxury yacht construction.
