In short

IJE is a 108-metre motor yacht that Benetti launched in Livorno on 28 March 2019 and delivered on 26 July 2019 as project FB275, the first of the yard's yachts over 100 metres to be handed over (Boat International). She remains the longest yacht Benetti has built and the flagship of its fleet (Benetti, Boat International, Boat International). Her exterior is by the British studio RWD and her interior by Benetti's in-house team; the brief was a sleek yacht that could also carry three large tenders for long voyages to remote places (Boat International). With a range of 6,500 nautical miles at 14 knots, she cruised the Mediterranean after delivery and then sailed to French Polynesia (Boat International); in September 2021 she was listed for sale at €175 million (Boat International).
