The multi-award-winning vessel from Dunya Yachts is set to appear at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025, where she will headline the brokerage lineup as one of the most distinctive yachts in her class.
Design and Construction
Delivered in 2024 by Turkish shipyard Dunya Yachts, the yacht for sale was designed and engineered by Gregory C. Marshall with interiors by Design Unlimited. She is built on a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminum superstructure and finished to a volume of 491 GT. Spanning three decks, she measures 8.9 meters in beam with a 2.95-meter draft, and was conceived around an owner’s brief that prioritized adventure capability while remaining under the 500GT threshold.
Exterior Features
Her exterior is defined by a series of custom design details. At the bow of the motor yacht for sale sits a dual-temperature plunge pool by Headhunter, engineered with a removable divider that allows one side to remain at 6°C while the other can be kept at 30°C.
The aft deck is fitted with a 10-tonne crane, capable of launching a 40-foot tender along with jet skis and inflatables. Once deployed, the deck transforms into a lounge area furnished for relaxation.
Additional outdoor highlights include a crow’s nest accessible from the bridge deck, offering guests a secure vantage point above the superyacht for sale, and a layout designed to encourage fluid movement between indoors and outdoors. Twelve wide-opening doors and floor-to-ceiling glazing erase boundaries between spaces, reinforcing the yacht’s open and connected lifestyle concept.
Interior Design
Inside, Design Unlimited curated an interior scheme built around natural textures and artisanal detailing. The main saloon and sky lounge are defined by flush sill-less sliding doors on three sides, ensuring uninterrupted views and natural light. Materials include rustic oak dining tables, bamboo ceilings handwoven by Turkish artisans, and dark textured flooring that complements rope-twist motifs and nautical wallpapers.
The galley combines functionality with atmosphere, featuring stainless steel appliances, black marble counters, and a large pantry. A breakfast nook is integrated into the space with views outward, while an interactive preparation area allows dining to be more informal and social. Lighting is layered to complement natural daylight and create mood across social spaces.
Accommodation
Guest accommodation spans five cabins for up to 10 guests, including a standout owner’s suite located on the upper deck with private access to an aft terrace and uninterrupted 180-degree views. The suite’s centerpiece is a bespoke bed that appears carved from a single block of wood, framed by jungle-inspired wallpaper and rope detailing.
Four additional cabins carry ocean-themed design motifs, with ensuites finished in ombre-effect mosaic tiles. The yacht also supports up to 12 crew across five cabins, including captain’s quarters and dedicated spaces for a chef and steward.
Performance
Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT 12-cylinder engines producing 1,218hp each, King Benji reaches a top speed of 14 knots and cruises comfortably at 12 knots. Her long-range cruising profile delivers 4,000 nautical miles at 10 knots, supported by 69,874 liters of fuel capacity.
Market Position
Since her launch, King Benji has been recognized with multiple industry awards, including “Best Interior Design – Motor Yachts 499GT and below, 40m and above” at the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards 2025. Her blend of lifestyle-focused features, expedition capabilities, and award-winning design has made her a standout in the sub-500GT sector. With the recent price adjustment to $36,999,000, she enters the Monaco Yacht Show as one of the most closely watched brokerage opportunities of the year.
