Checkmate

Launched in 2013 and extensively refitted in 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2024, CHECKMATE is a standout yacht in the celebrated Benetti Vision series. Designed by the renowned Stefano Righini with interiors by François Zuretti, she represents the perfect blend of timeless Italian craftsmanship and modern luxury.

Measuring 44.2 meters (145 feet) in length with a beam of 9.25 meters and a volume of 456 GT, CHECKMATE offers exceptional space and comfort, surpassing many contemporary yachts in her class. Her bold exterior lines are enhanced by a sleek light-blue Awlgrip hull, while her generous deck spaces include a large sun deck with Jacuzzi, a bespoke sky lounge with panoramic views, and a private forward terrace off the master suite.

CHECKMATE accommodates up to 12 guests across five luxurious staterooms, including a full-beam master suite with sweeping 180-degree views, a private office, walk-in wardrobe, and marble-clad en suite. Four additional guest cabins on the lower deck ensure comfort and privacy for all aboard. Up to 10 crew are housed in five well-designed cabins, ensuring a seamless service experience.

Built for both comfort and performance, CHECKMATE cruises comfortably at 13 knots and boasts a transoceanic range of 3,500 nautical miles at 12 knots, powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines. She is RINA classed and MCA LY2 compliant, underscoring her pedigree as a world-cruising yacht.

With an expansive beach club, refined living spaces, and a design heritage that shaped the future of sub-500GT Italian yachts, CHECKMATE is not only a superb example of the Benetti legacy—she’s a rare opportunity to own a modern classic with exceptional pedigree and proven global capability.
