Her naval architecture and exterior design were developed by Gregory C. Marshall, while British studio Design Unlimited created the interior.
The interior of King Benji is defined by a warm and expressive design approach shaped by natural materials and textured finishes. Design Unlimited developed a relaxed atmosphere that draws heavily on organic elements, with reclaimed timber, bamboo detailing, leather accents, and woven fibers used throughout the living spaces on board the yacht for sale.
Large floor to ceiling windows and flush sliding doors on three sides of the main salon and sky lounge bring significant daylight into the interior while maintaining continuous visual connection with the sea. Rustic oak dining tables and bamboo headliners, hand knotted by Ulutas artisans, introduce additional craftsmanship, while the use of dark textured wood flooring provides contrast against the lighter natural finishes.
Several decorative elements reinforce the adventurous personality of the Dunya yacht for sale. Rope twists frame mirrors throughout the interior, while wallpapers featuring ocean and jungle themes add visual character. Another distinctive feature is a custom sushi bar, adding a social dining focal point that supports both private cruising and charter use.
King Benji’s exterior spaces have been designed with exploration and outdoor living as central priorities. Built on a full displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, the yacht spans three decks and offers a gross tonnage of 491GT, with a 9.14m beam and 3.05m draft.
One of the most unusual features is the custom plunge pool located on the bow. Developed by Headhunter, the pool includes a removable divider that allows two water temperatures at once. One side can be maintained at a cool 6°C while the other reaches a warmer 30°C, creating a distinctive hot and cold bathing experience.
A crow’s nest positioned above the bridge deck offers elevated views and serves as an observation point for guests during cruising or at anchor. Across the explorer yacht for sale, twelve wide opening doors and large glazing panels help connect interior and exterior spaces and reinforce the open character requested by the owner during the design stage.
King Benji accommodates up to 10 guests across five cabins. The owner’s suite occupies the upper deck and benefits from private access to the aft deck, providing wide 180 degree views over the surrounding seascape. The suite features a distinctive bed designed to appear carved from a single block of wood, set against jungle inspired wallpaper and bamboo ceiling panels. Dark textured wood flooring and rope detailed mirrors continue the natural design language found throughout the motor yacht for sale.
Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT diesel engines producing 1,218hp each, King Benji reaches a top speed of 14 knots and cruises comfortably at 12 knots. Her fuel capacity of 17,738 litres supports a range of approximately 4,000 nautical miles at an economical speed of 10 knots.
