The 52-metre Benetti motor yacht Solafide has joined the brokerage market in a new listing with Della Pearce and Julien Solari of Camper & Nicholsons.
Delivered as Tommy in 1995 by the Italian yard, Solafide was constructed in steel and aluminium to a design by Stefano Natucci. The motor yacht recently underwent a "transformative, multi-million euro" refit between 2023 and 2025, with the major works including a full exterior repaint, new engines and upgraded systems as well as a new, reconfigured interior layout and redesigned deck spaces.
The most notable change, however, was to her profile, which was "refined" by Tommaso Spadolini with elongated glazing replacing her previous, smaller-sized windows. Her refit earned her a nomination for the Best Refit of the Year (499GT and below) award at the 2025 World Superyacht Awards.

The previous dark wood flooring and wall panelling were replaced with pale woods, light carpets, cream-coloured onyx and white walls, making the living spaces on board bright and airy.
The main saloon is host to a lounge area with comfortable sofas and loose chairs, while a formal dining space is situated further forward, separated by a sliding glass partition. Above, a club-style skylounge is complete with sofas and further seating, plus a games table and an entertainment centre, for relaxed enjoyment.
Accommodation on board is for 12 guests in a six-cabin layout comprising a main-deck master suite, an upper-deck VIP (added during the refit), two double cabins and two twins, both with additional Pullman berths and one convertible into a double.
The master suite was "completely redesigned" during the refit and features a private office-cum-lounge that can be converted into a media room or an adjoining children's cabin, along with a walk-in wardrobe and a his-and-hers marble bathroom. There are further quarters for a crew of 12.
Also included in the refit was the redesign of Solafide's exterior spaces. The aft deck lounge was fitted with fold-down bulwarks to expand the space and the already impressive sundeck was extended and now supports helicopter operations. Here, guests will find a central spa tub, numerous sunbeds and loungers and a bar area forward. Notably, Solafide is also capable of hosting cocktail parties for up to 100 guests on board.
The 474GT ABS-classed yacht for sale has an "excellent turn of speed", with twin 3,000hp Deutz diesel engines powering her to a top speed of 21 knots, a cruising speed of 14 knots and a 4,600 nautical-mile range. Key specs include an 8.9-metre beam and a three-metre draft.
Solafide is asking €19,250,000, currently lying in the South of France.
