CUOR DI LEONE

CUOR DI LEONE

CUOR DI LEONE (ex M/Y LIONHEART) is a 50m (164ft) Benetti - the 4th in their
Golden Bay series. She is another fine example of this company’s Italian flair and
elegance in design. CUOR DI LEONE’s interior styling is by Stefano Natucci and
features the use of exceptional materials and highly original details. Sanded and
vibrant honey coloured oak burl has been used for the yacht’s furniture and
panelling and the bathing areas display the lovely and exclusive marble, honey
onyx.

CUOR DI LEONE is designed and built to be able to undertake long cruises and
charters in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and other exotic areas of the world.
Accordingly, this large motor yacht provides every possible comfort and luxury.

She offers a wonderful sundeck along with two large sunbathing areas with sun
beds and mattresses both fore and aft, a well-positioned Jacuzzi, (right next to the
bar), two settees and a dining table which is shaded in the yacht’s radar arch. She
features sweeping deck spaces which are nicely separated and very functional
as either entertainment or relaxation areas.

Accommodation is provided in a full beam master suite with a ‘his and hers’
bathroom on the main deck. On the lower deck are four further staterooms (2x
double and 2x twin) with ensuite bathrooms. Further to this there is a day room on
the upper deck that can be converted into a guest room (either double or twin)
with bathroom facilities.

Fresh from a major refit, CUOR DI LEONE offers the buyer an ideal yacht for
private or charter use. Sensibly priced and seriously for sale.
