Italian shipyard Benetti has launched its 41.1m/135ft luxury yacht VICIOUS RUMOUR III.

Vicious Rumour III superyacht launched by Benetti

The Benetti Oasis 40 motor yacht has an exterior design by RWD with a dark grey hull and superstructure that has an almost matte appearance compared to the dark glazing. Notable on-board features include a spacious beach club with fold-down bulwarks and a broad swim platform for lounging right beside the water, a main deck aft pool, a sundeck Jacuzzi and bar plus plenty of sunbathing spots.

Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture created the desirable minimalist interiors, which have the feel of an open loft for a sense of space along with a connection to the local environment.

There is accommodation for up to 10 guests over 5 en-suite cabins, and 5 cabins for a crew of 9.

The engines provide a transatlantic range of 4,000 nautical miles at 11 knots for independent cruising through some of the world’s favourite charter grounds.
