Freedom is a 70 m motor yacht built by Benetti in 2000 (refitted 2016), for 12 guests in 8 cabins with 27 crew. Charter from €500,000 per week in summer (Italy, Monaco and Montenegro), plus expenses.
A 70-metre Benetti from 2000, once called Reverie, laid out for a large family that travels with its own staff and likes the option of arriving by helicopter.
Delivered by Benetti in 2000 under the name Reverie, Freedom owes her profile to Stefano Natucci and her rooms to John Munford. Her case today is the same as it was then: few charter yachts of her generation give twelve people this much room, and here it is spread over seven decks.
The deck that explains her is the owner's level. The master suite runs the whole width, with its own dining table, a salon with an office and a private terrace with a Jacuzzi for breakfast. Beside it sit two smaller cabins meant for children, a nanny or a security detail. A family that brings staff can keep everyone within reach and still leave the main deck to the rest of the party, who get the VIP suite, a library with a piano, a formal dining room and an informal bistro with a pizza oven. Four queen cabins on the lower deck finish the count.
Higher up, the bridge deck works as a wellness floor, with a gym, a massage room, a beauty salon and a Turkish bath, while the sky deck keeps a separate bar and barbecue for evenings. A lift serves every guest deck, which matters when grandparents are along, and the helipad holds a commercial certification, so people can fly in and out instead of waiting for the yacht in port. A range close to 6,000 nautical miles means long repositioning legs are routine for her.
Among the boats she carries is a 33-foot classic wooden Predator, the kind of launch that turns a run ashore into part of the day.
Think of her for several generations travelling together, or for a principal hosting guests who value privacy and service over design fashion; a crew of up to 27 keeps that machinery running. A couple or a handful of friends would feel lost aboard, and anyone set on a yacht launched in the last few years should look at newer builds.
