Kasper 7 is a 67m Benetti custom build

Already a winner at the Wallpaper* Design Awards 2025, the 67m Benetti Kasper 7 won two categories at the 2025 Design and Innovation Awards, held as part of February’s Superyacht Design Festival in Kitzbühel.

Featuring an exterior design by Giorgio Maria Cassetta and interior design by Kasper 7 owner Nisrine Karagulla, the 220ft custom build won Best Naval Architecture – Displacement Motor Yachts and Best Interior Design – Motor Yachts 500GT and above.

Camilla Calza, Benetti Marketing Director, added: “This double recognition fills us with pride because it underlines our excellence in the design and construction of highly customised yachts. Collaborating with the owner and turning her vision into reality was a great privilege for the entire Benetti team, made possible thanks to the know-how of our work team.”

For the naval architecture award, the jury stated that the yacht “seamlessly combined technical precision with aesthetic sophistication … her numbers highlighted exceptional hydrodynamic efficiency, demonstrating refined hydrodynamics”.

Large circular windows flank the dining room

For the interior award, one judge noted that “the bold interior reminded them of an art gallery with the most interesting objets d’art on display”. The judges also liked how the yacht’s interior designer chose to augment the shape of the windows in the dining room and modify their shapes inside.

Kasper 7 is notable for its circular windows on the lower and main deck including four large ones with a 2m diameter, a signature feature of the yacht’s profile.

“Aesthetically original, they please the eye with their feeling of modernity and luminosity and give the yacht’s design a distinctive look,” Benetti stated. “They were strongly desired by the owner, who wanted to establish a connection between the interiors and the natural environment by framing the beauty of the scenery outside.”

The minimalist interior – inspired by the relaxed atmosphere of a summer house – features airy and welcoming rooms, and includes spaces for furnishings and made-to-measure works of art, while the cabins offer smart organisation solutions such as adjustable shelves. The yacht also features a uniform use of teak on the decks, floors and walls.

Karagulla, a former Miss Lebanon, is co-founder of Askdeco, a Beirut-based interior design and architecture firm, and was the principal designer of Kasper 7’s interiors.

“After winning the Wallpaper* Design Awards 2025, these awards are another important recognition of the collaboration with Benetti,” Karagulla said. “Kasper 7 embodies our dream of creating a true home on the water, a result made possible thanks to the excellence of the shipyard’s skills and the close synergy we established with them.”
