Perini Navi's Seven Is A Symphony Of Italian Sophistication At Its Finest

Perini Navi's Seven is a symphony of Italian sophistication at its finest.

- Joel Chua

WHEN PERINI NAVI successfully delivered Seven the third in its 60m series in 2017, it was evident that this was no ordinary ketch. As the owner (the late Italian billionaire, Ennio Doris) commented at the time: Seven is not a simple yacht. In fact, it characterises the artistic, creative, and aesthetic spirit of 'made in Italy'. The owner is Italian, the yard is Italian, as are the crew and the architect who designed it - even the flag is Italian.”

Intended as a family boat - its name is derived from the number of Doris's grandchildren - Seven's architect, Dante Benini, was entrusted with designing the interiors. A pervading sense of liveliness, coupled with ample communal spaces for three generations to mingle and bond over their shared love of the water, were thus non-negotiable factors.
