Leigh-Smith Yachts has announced its appointment as Worldwide Central Agent for the sale of the magnificent 46-metre Benetti superyacht MISTRESS, presenting an exceptional opportunity to acquire a yacht combining distinguished Italian pedigree, commanding presence and substantial long-range capability.
Built by the renowned Italian shipyard Benetti, MISTRESS is a 46-metre, 411GT motor yacht featuring exterior styling by Stefano Natucci and interiors by Zuretti.
Following a comprehensive refit in 2024, MISTRESS has been revitalised for contemporary superyacht ownership while preserving the character and craftsmanship of her original design. Works included a full hull repaint, substantial superstructure coating, upgraded systems and refreshed onboard amenities.
A Statement of Timeless Italian Yachting
Across three expansive decks, MISTRESS has been designed around sophisticated entertaining, relaxation and extended periods at sea.
Her interiors combine rich timber panelling, bespoke furnishings and Versace accents, creating an atmosphere of classic European luxury. Accommodation is provided for up to 10 guests across six ensuite cabins, including an impressive main-deck master suite.
Outside, generous entertaining areas provide multiple spaces for alfresco dining and relaxation. The expansive sun deck is a particular highlight, featuring a Jacuzzi, sun pads, wraparound seating and full-service bar, while additional amenities include a private gym and sauna.
With a cruising speed of approximately 12 knots, a top speed of 16 knots, and a reported range of up to 3,000 nautical miles at 12 knots, MISTRESS combines genuine cruising capability with the volume and presence expected of a yacht in the 46-metre category.
A Significant Addition to Leigh-Smith Yachts
The appointment represents an exciting addition to the Leigh-Smith Yachts brokerage portfolio and further strengthens the company’s presence within the large-yacht and superyacht sector.
“MISTRESS represents something genuinely special,” affirmed Ryan Leigh-Smith, Managing Director, Leigh-Smith Yachts.
“She has the pedigree and unmistakable presence of a classic Benetti, combined with the benefit of a substantial recent refit. For an owner looking for a yacht with character, volume and true long-range cruising capability, she presents a compelling opportunity to own an authentic Italian-built superyacht.
“We are extremely proud to have been entrusted with the Central Agency for MISTRESS. She is a yacht that deserves to be experienced in person. Her scale, craftsmanship and sense of occasion are difficult to appreciate from photographs alone.”
