M/Y Juno’s 7 wins Robb Report US Best of the Best Award
The 44‑metre M/Y Juno’s 7, the flagship of Benetti’s Class range, has been honoured with the prestigious Robb Report US Best of the Best award in the Yachting – Best Motoryacht category. Now in its 38th edition, the annual awards celebrate the pinnacle of international excellence across the luxury sector, spanning automotive, watchmaking, art, and design.
This recognition arrives at a strategically significant moment for the Group, as the United States solidifies its position as the leading target market for superyachts. The inclusion of M/Y Juno’s 7 among the winners of the long‑established Robb Report awards underscores the brand’s strong appeal to American owners and further consolidates its global market standing.
While the yacht’s refined aesthetics clearly resonated with the jury, Juno’s 7 also stands out for the extensive engineering and technical development carried out by the Shipyard. The naval platform was optimised to maximize the efficiency of the displacement hull while minimizing noise and vibration underway, ensuring exceptional comfort during long passages. Strict weight management and the seamless integration of complex onboard systems also granted the design team ultimate freedom in shaping the guest areas.
Both the exterior and interior design are penned by Cassetta Yacht Designers, who reinterpreted Benetti’s classic stylistic heritage through a sleek profile and a gracefully raked bow. Developed in close collaboration with the Owner, the interiors evoke the relaxed atmosphere of a seaside summer residence, eschewing unnecessary ostentation. The decor follows a philosophy of understated sophistication: FSC‑certified woods, such as antique elm for the flooring, are paired with matte ash wall panels. In the bathrooms, continuous resin‑mineral surfaces replace traditional marble to reduce weight without compromising visual impact. Natural stone has been reserved for select statement features, including Bianco Lasa marble in the lobby and custom Forest Green basins.
The layout of Juno’s 7 reflects the core strengths of Benetti’s Class family - a range conceived to allow extensive customisation of onboard spaces, making it equally suited to private, intimate cruising or vibrant socializing at sea.
The management of volumes and circulation revolves around several key highlights:
Generous glazed surfaces, which maximize natural light and create a seamless visual connection between the saloons and the marine environment.
A highly functional layout, featuring a gym integrated into the Owner’s suite on the Main Deck, a dedicated VIP cabin on the Upper Deck, and a 102‑square‑metre Sun Deck divided into multiple relaxation areas.
A stern beach club, envisioned as a true waterfront terrace dedicated to leisure and water activities.
M/Y Juno’s 7 embodies a discreet, yet sophisticated form of luxury, where the true value of the project lies in the purity of its finishes, the genuine liveability of its spaces, and the technical and construction excellence that define the Benetti DNA.
