IYC Facilitates the Successful Transaction of 177' (54m) Benetti STARFIRE
IYC is delighted to share news of the successful facilitation and transaction of the 177' (54m) Benetti STARFIRE, an in-house achievement with Sales Consultant Michael Rafferty and Head of Sales UK Richard Gray, together with Carl Sputh from Northrop & Johnson representing the Owner, and IYC Sales Consultant Michael Selter coordinating the transaction.
Expertly crafted by the renowned Benetti shipyard, STARFIRE showcases timeless Italian elegance across four beautifully designed decks and stands as one of François Zuretti’s most celebrated creations.
Launched in 1997 from a Stefano Natucci design, this steel and aluminium yacht features a sturdy displacement hull, cruising smoothly at 13 knots. Refitted in 2023 and upgraded in 2019, STARFIRE is fully MCA compliant and offers an exceptional charter experience.
Accommodating 14 guests in six stylish staterooms, including a full-beam master suite with a California king bed and honey onyx bathroom, the yacht also offers a VIP suite, two doubles, and two twins, all with en suite bathrooms and modern entertainment.
The interior’s light colors, warm wooden floors, handwoven rugs, and blue accents create a comfortable, elegant atmosphere. Outside, the aft deck is perfect for alfresco dining or movie nights, while the sundeck seats 14 and features a glass-enclosed fitness centre with gym, sauna, and shower.
Congratulations to all involved!
