Judges praised M/Y Kasper 7’s naval architecture for its refined hydrodynamics, ensuring exceptional efficiency, while its striking interior, designed by Nisrine Karagulla, was lauded for its modern aesthetic, unique art displays, and creatively shaped windows that frame breathtaking ocean views.
The yacht, built for a couple seeking a true “home on the water,” features an exterior by Cassetta Yacht Designers and an interior by Karagulla, who is also the owner of Ask Deco, a Beirut-based interior design firm.
Standout features include a spacious 10-meter-wide main deck lounge, large circular windows that flood the interiors with natural light, and a seamless connection between the yacht’s elegant architecture and the surrounding seascape.
Materials like oak, cross-cut travertine, and white perpero wood create a warm, airy ambiance, while custom furnishings and art pieces enhance the sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. The lighting design highlights objects as sources of light, adding to the yacht’s refined elegance.
Beneath its luxurious design, M/Y Kasper 7 is also a model of efficiency and sustainability. Its optimized hull allows for improved fuel efficiency, a top speed of 16 knots, and an extended cruising range.
The yacht has earned 3-star SEA Index® certification, recognizing its low CO2 emissions, verified by Lloyd’s Register and awarded by the Yacht Club de Monaco.
“This double recognition fills us with pride,” said Camilla Calza, Benetti’s Marketing Director, emphasizing the brand’s dedication to custom yacht craftsmanship. For Karagulla, the project was a dream realized: “M/Y Kasper 7 embodies our vision of a true home on the water, made possible by Benetti’s excellence and close collaboration.”
With its award-winning design and cutting-edge sustainability, M/Y Kasper 7 is a standout in the world of luxury yachting.
