True impact through restraint

Yachting | 2026

The 67-metre “Kasper 7“ was chosen by long-time Benetti owner Karim Karagulla as an upgrade from his previous Benetti Classic. But it was his wife, interior designer Nisrine Karagulla of Askdeco, who redefined the yacht’s soul. Drawing on her background in high-end residential design, she led a quiet revolution: one that rejected mirrored surfaces and high-gloss finishes in favour of natural textures, playful forms, and emotional warmth.

Side steps lead to the spacious bathing platform. Here, owners and guests can enjoy the proximity to the water while at anchor. A beach club is located inside.

The transformation starts on deck. By lowering the bulwarks on the main and upper decks, the design team maximised natural light and deepened the connection with the sea. Oversized round port-holes (1.9 m in diameter) punctuate the hull – a nod to vintage nautical styling that pairs seamlessly with “Kasper 7’s“ muscular bow.

Even in the dark, “Kasper 7” is an imposing sight. During the day, lowered bulwarks allow plenty of light onto the main and upper decks.

Below, the interior is disarmingly relaxed. Pink-tinted wood veneer, limed oak floors, and a soft tonal palette create a calming canvas. Furnishings are sculptural yet minimal, favouring comfort over spectacle. Custom details abound, from a tree-trunk snack cabinet in the saloon to a travertine staircase with a sinuous handrail crafted by Lebanese artist Tamara Barrage. The main deck forepeak, traditionally an owner’s suite in modern yachts, has been reimagined as a formal dining area anchored by a pink resin table and Middle Eastern-designed furniture – a bold nod to heritage and personal expression. The owner’s suite, meanwhile, is located on the upper deck, paired with a private lounge and the yacht’s only television.

The decks offer ample space for entertaining and entertaining guests. Inside, the yacht boasts a state-of-the-art and at times playful interior.
