By Katia Damborsky 13 June 2019

Formerly known as Project FB 277, the 107m/351ft motor yacht LANA headed out on sea trials this morning.

Launched in December, LANA departed Benetti's facilities in Livorno this morning, ready to begin her first round of sea trials in the Mediterranean.

A spokeswoman from the yacht's marketing company has stated that Lana is "one of the most exclusive vessels available for charter from Summer 2019 and beyond."

The megayacht will be spending her debut charter season exploring the glitzy cruising grounds of the Mediterranean, transporting her guests around popular superyacht hotspots in the lap of luxury.

Upon delivery, LANA will become the second largest yacht publicly available for crewed yacht charter vacations. Coincidentally, she is also the second largest launch from Italian shipyard Benetti to date.

The yacht’s oversized pool can be found on an elevated portion forward of the sundeck. This innovative design gives the pool a level of privacy and exclusivity, where guests can relax and unwind in peace.

The space is adjoined by laid-back dining areas and inviting spreads of sunpads for making the most out of the warm Mediterranean weather.

Alfresco areas for dining and unwinding continue on the upper and main decks aft, while the foredeck benefits from a touch n go helipad.
