At a press conference this week, Benetti’s Head of Product Sebastiano Vida – and his design team – presented four new superyacht models to the international media gathered at the Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo. As well as releasing information about the new yachts, the Benetti Group emphasized their commitment to innovation in sustainability by combining future research with the implementation of the most effective solutions available today.
B.YOND
The successful voyager range will be joined by the B.YOND 57M and the B.YOND 40M, both evolutions of previous models in collaboration with Igor Lobanov – exterior designer – and Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture – interior designer. The B.YOND range all share an ‘explorer feel’ while retaining the classic elegance Benetti yachts are known for.
The B.YOND 57M is available in three stern configurations: The Beach version features a generous outdoor terrace and pool, the Air version has a touch and go helipad, while the Water version is designed to stow marine exploration equipment.
The B.YOND 40M has been designed across four decks, each dedicated to a unique function with various possible configurations. Sociable areas occupy about 150sqm and are characterised by floor-to-ceiling glazing with flood the interior with natural light.
MOTOPANFILO 45M
With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the MOTOPANFILO 45M is a reimagining of the ‘Navetta’ concept designed in collaboration with exterior designers RWD and interior designers Lazzarini Pickering Architetti. The model introduces the Veranda Deck®, a concept which reinvents the main deck salon by completely opening it on three sides to create a veranda overlooking the infinity pool and the surrounding vistas.
B.LOFT
Designed by Cassetta Yacht Design, this new model brings a contemporary residential feel to a mega-yacht and a brand-new idea – the lower deck cabana. As an evolution of a beach club, the space offers 270-degree views with fold out wings to further expand the area. The interiors are characterised by four-metre-high ceilings which demonstrate the ‘Loft’ concept after which the model is named.
Benetti are one of the most successful superyacht builders in the world and currently have a pipeline of 58 units awaiting construction. Many of Benetti’s outstanding superyachts and mega-yachts are available for charter, as are their more modest sisterships under 40m.
Once again, The Monaco Yacht Show has been an inspirational event where the best superyachts have lined up side-by-side, new concepts have been unveiled and the yachting community have spent time networking and exploring.
