Formosa was delivered in 2015, the best and most proven of a select number of 60m/197’ custom yachts built by Benetti.

Her exterior styling and naval architecture are also by Benetti’s in-house design team while Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design created her elegant and livable interior.

At nearly 1,100 gross tons, Formosa is very spacious for her length. And not an inch of space is wasted. Exterior and interior areas spanning five decks are organized to maximize their volume, storage capacities, natural light and views. Corridors are skillfully split and turned into cozy guest lounges or offices. A private owner’s apartment is built into the upper deck forward while the sky lounge doubles as a cinema with al fresco dining outside aft. The sundeck on the bridge deck aft is topped by a more intimate panoramic deck.

Formosa sleeps up to 13 guests in 6 large suites, including the forward-facing master on the upper deck, two VIPs on the main deck and two queens and a twin stateroom on the lower deck. Decorated in a cream and blue palette and light wood, all areas are welcoming and suitable for extended cruising.

Please note that FORMOSA is not offered for sale or charter to US residents while in US waters.

The Story

Planned for extended global cruising Formosa’s Asian inspired decor merges functionality with comfort

The original owner planned to cruise the world with his family and friends and had very specific technical and lifestyle requirements which translated into exacting specifications and an extraordinarily well-thought-out interior in terms of layout and décor.

The owner’s technical team was on site throughout the build to provide ongoing supervision and input. The up-and-coming Dutch designer Sander Sinot, selected on account of his love for Asian minimalist design, skillfully arranged forms, colors, and space to create a sense of equilibrium and tranquility.

The result was a robustly built, modern classic yacht with clean, flowing lines, impressive cruising capabilities and an exquisitely functional high-end interior incorporating a splendid array of natural materials.
