After being purchased by the French owner in 2007, this 1974 model classic Benetti came to Aegean Boatyard for the refit work in order to give her a more contemporary and finished interior look.

83 ft. Benetti Refit - Koheilan

The hull was in good condition. However the owner wanted to change the white colour to dark blue. Epoxy based JOTUN paint system has been applied on the hull and superstructure.

The layout no longer suited modern requirements for a yacht of her size. So interiors were completely dismantled. Reinsulated with rockwool.

In order to create a cosy atmosphere, the boatyard used oak parquet on the floors, cherry parititions and furnitures with combination of Alcantara panels, mirrors. New A/C units were installed throughout the boat.

Oak parquets are used on the bathroom floors. Counter tops are natural emprador marble. Toilet system and the toilets were completely renewed.

Koheilan before Refit

In the original maindeck front of the bridge, there was a galey and dining room. The owner wanted to utilize the front dining room as a master bedroom and move the dining table in the salon on the maindeck.

This modification implied the extension of the salon. The new master bedroom’s bed can be easily removed and this place can be easily returned to a meeting room.

On  the accommodation deck, 2 double and 1 tripple guest cabins all with ensuite bathrooms were positioned.

Apart from guest accommodation areas, crew quarters and galley were also refurbished completely. See below the result clean, tidy & practical galley, crew mess & crew quarters.In the galley brand new SIEMENS galley equipment ; 2 deepfreezers, 2 refrigerators, electric over, dishwasher, electric cooker were installed.

Outside teak deck was repaired where necessary. All the hatches on this deck were renewed as well. An electric windlass was installed.

On the sundeck a large sun awning has been positioned with stainless steel supports. This area is dedicated for outside eating and lounging.

The result is from bow to stern compeletely a new and classic boat.
