NEW – To the worldwide yacht charter market!
A SWM Yachts favourite has joined the international charter fleet. The incredible 108m (354’4”) IJE was launched in 2019 and is the largest Benetti-built yacht. ⚓️
Explorer capable, with an impressive 6,500 nautical mile range, she spent much of 2019 and 2020 cruising the globe. IJE has an unmistakable sleek profile. Slim, with a beam of only 15.5m (50’10”), she cuts through the water with ease, topping out at a fast 20 knots.
The owner that commissioned IJE knew that they wanted a beautiful yacht. They understood that volume needed to be sacrificed in order to achieve their vision of elegance and that is why IJE has a small volume of only 3,367GT for her size. IJE was designed with her aesthetic as the most important factor, rather than thinking about all the ‘must haves’ and designing the rest of the yacht as a wraparound. RWD, the exterior designer, described the bow overhang as the longest they’ve ever done.
The other priority was a capacity to carry large tenders. Two welldecks in the bow accommodate a 14m (45’11”) VanDutch 40 and a 14m custom RHIB. As an explorer, being able to get ashore no matter where in the world you were was of prime importance.
IJE comes with an extensive toy chest. No less than 8 jet-skis are supported by a 1,500 litre (396.26 US liquid gallon) refuelling station adapted from the same system used to support helicopters. A third tender is also found in the aft garage, as are a suite of additional water toys.
Onboard guests will find only the most modern of comforts. A pool overlooks the stern and an observation spot can be found on the sundeck. The interior, especially the salon, opens up to the exterior in multiple ways, allowing for a seamless transition indoor-outdoor and letting in vast amounts of natural light. A cinema and a small nightclub can be found indoors hued in darker colours in a stark contrast to the light tones found elsewhere.
A starboard-side platform lowers to grant the gym its own beach club, so guests can work out with superlative ocean views. Also, on board is a firepit to stay warm under a starry-night sky, a beauty parlour and a 16-metre (52’6”) tall art piece by DKT Artworks and Bill Cleyndert extends the height of the main lobby beneath a skylight from the observation deck. Every individual cabin lends a variation on an oak theme, with enormous airliner style portholes.
Straight from cruising the South Pacific IJE is taking bookings for Summer 2023 in the Mediterranean with availability for this winter on request.
