LANA is a 107m superyacht, defined by elongated and bold lines. She has been declared a timeless icon, superseding trends and outstepping convention. LANA is one of Italian shipbuilder Benetti’s three-suite giga-yachts and is exclusively available for charter with Imperial. Her sense of character and authentic individuality makes LANA an unrivalled choice in the charter market.
Both the interior and exterior were designed by Benetti, providing a synergy between the inside and outside, true to Benetti’s signature Italian heritage style, LANA is sleek and elegant. A yacht conceived under one design house supports the strong sense of fluidity that Benetti set out to achieve. The stylistic amalgamation between the hull and the superstructure is completely seamless.

Superyacht Cruising
This giga-yacht can host up to 12 guests, consisting of eight cabins. Given the scale and variety of her external spaces, she lends herself to temperate climates. She was designed to cruise around the Mediterranean in the summer, where guests can enjoy exploring the rich and fascinating history of Europe among a diverse range of cultures. Destinations that guests have earmarked include Spain’s unspoilt orange groves of the Orange Blossom Coast, and the Riviera’s most iconic perch, the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.
Cruising in the Caribbean or Indian Ocean are popular choices for the winter season, where guests choose to cruise the exotic lands of The Seychelles and The Maldives islands are fertile ground for exotic wildlife and home to a vast range of biodiversity.
LANA’s steel hull and aluminum superstructure powered by a diesel-electric propulsion provides a fast journey with a long cruising range. She cruises at 16 knots and can reach a top speed of 18.5 knots. The beam provides stability and measures 14.4 metres. Her gross tonnage of the vessel weighs in at 3,900 Gt.
Guests can enjoy the serenity of being in a safe oasis, particularly in the current climate. On a yacht guests feel safe. With a crew of 37, guests have their every whim and desire will be taken care of.

Pioneers of Progress
Behind this masterpiece are two talented designers from Benetti, Michele Guerrieri for the exterior lines and Mauro Izzo for the interiors. The overarching design principle was to celebrate fine Italian craftsmanship and detail but in a simple way, with understated elegance. The exterior contours are enhanced by an impressive 2.7m ceiling height throughout the guest areas. The boat’s internal proportions deviate from most yachts, making it feel more like a house. The designers carefully curated a space which is opulent with a sense of lightness. For instance, the floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the superstructure, allowing natural light to flood inside. Opulence can be seen from the foyer where a grand chandelier is so spectacular it spans from the ground to the tip of the ceiling. At six metres in length, it’s not so much a lighting feature as an architectural element of the boat.
The yacht features Art Deco style light fixtures, stylized wood panelling, leather, engraved glass and stainless steel. The designers wanted to create somewhere luxurious, but which also feels very natural to sit down and relax. There is a symbiotic balance in the design, for example the exteriors use of extreme horizontal lines give it a very robust, masculine persona, while the three-dimensional elements add fluidity and elegance.
