It's a long way to go from California to Italy just to build a boat. Then again, Calex, delivered last year by Benetti, is a 220-foot fully custom build-60 feet larger than its owner's previous superyacht, which was semicustom. It's also an example of the degree to which an experienced owner will go to ensure the comfort of those accompanying him: not just family and friends, but also crew. ¶ While a larger yacht naturally affords more indoor and outdoor space, this California resident wanted an abundance of both, prioritizing privacy and well-being. ¶ Arguably the best example of this is the owner's suite, which, in combination with a dedicated alfresco area, is more like a penthouse apartment. Giorgio Cassetta and his team at Cassetta Yacht Designers, which has styled numerous Benettis, penned 1,772 square feet on the upper deck for this, from amidships forward.
