B.Now 50M
The Benetti Oasis 40M is a 133-foot luxury motoryacht built across four levels due to be launched by eminent Italian yacht-building firm Benetti in 2024. A sleek and stealthy exterior form with a steel-grey livery, curved bulwarks, a sharp double-height bow entry, wrap-around glazing and an assertive profile is the work of naval stylists RWD, and looks set to define high-end yacht design for years to come. Lavish interiors, meanwhile, have been designed by Bonetti & Kozerski for a free-flowing and glamorous appeal with a contemporary twist. Also featuring a best-in-class amount of outdoor space, including a proprietary Oasis beach club, this is the ideal yacht for long-distance voyages in sultry climes the world over.
A glorious sundeck with commanding views and a teak sole hosts a four-seater bespoke sunpad to aft, while a trio of bar stations boast marble counters, a grill, an ice-chipper and masses of chilled storage. A dining table for up to ten and a forward lounge including sofas, a loveseat, armchairs and a daybed provide the perfect place to soak up the rays and engage in convivial conversation. Yet more outdoor space is available on the upper-deck, with a six-seater, U-shaped sofa and a sunpad for up to five sitting out on the raised foredeck. To aft there is a shaded retreat with plentiful seating, facing a set of curved sliding glass doors ushering guests into the upper lounge. In here there is a dining sofa with a table and a sprawling seating space to port with a home entertainment system and a bar. Up front there is a captain’s quarters and a secluded wheelhouse with everything needed to navigate your way across the oceans.
On the main deck you will find a sublime space to stern that really sets this yacht apart from the competition: the Oasis beach club. This area is an opulent retreat just above the water-level with flip-down bulwarks that transform into floating cocktail terraces, while bar facilities, a sunpad and a U-shaped sofa in marine-grade upholstery provide plenty of decadent seating. A swim platform to stern frames a huge infinity plunge pool, while integrated speakers throughout are on hand to dictate the vibe. Due to this lavish and sprawling area to stern you will find tender storage further forward and accessed via a side-entry garage.
Circular sliding glass doors lead into a free-flowing main-deck salon, with a pair of curved sofas and a 12-seater dining table framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing with dynamic views. Every square-inch of this yacht has been delicately crafted, with fine touches including teak brightwork, steel fixtures, rounded edges, bronze paneling, hand-crafted cabinets in an array of exotic woods, tempered glass surfaces, marbled bulkheads and a host of bespoke furnishings in everything from high-class upholstery to authentic leather. Just ahead of this there is a fully-equipped galley, while at the front of this level there is a full-beam owner’s stateroom. These apartment-style quarters boast an entrance lobby, extra storage, a private gym, a living room, king-sized bed, two walk-in dressing rooms and a pair of en-suite bathrooms lined in marble, one with a shower and another with a bathtub.
Four more en-suite staterooms for up to eight guests are to be found on the lower-deck, with each cabin boasting plentiful storage and widescreen hull glazing for a breezy feel. A crew quarters for up to eight sits by the bow and comes with its own living facilities.
Set to be fitted with a pair of 1400HP MAN V12 diesel engines, lucky owners can expect top speeds of up to 16 knots and cruising speeds of 12 knots. Take things a little slower and glide along at an economy cruise of 11 knots and you will be able to steer this blue-water vessel across the oceans for up to 4,000 nautical miles before needing to refuel.
