BENETTI, A NEW CHAPTER FOR THE STEEL LEGACY
- Two new projects over 50 metres: the B.Now 52M and the B.Loft 58M
- Second B.Now 72M unit with Oasis Deck® sold
- Backlog extending into 2029
Benetti’s steel legacy opens up new perspectives and is enriched with new models. The Shipyard presents two new projects – the B.Now 52M and the B.Loft 58M – and announces the sale of the second unit of the B.Now 72M with Oasis Deck®.
“The sale of a new 72-metre yacht and the presentation of two new models that enrich the B.Now and B.Loft families confirm our dynamism and ability to bring continuous evolution, new features and new trends to the large custom yacht market,” says Daniela Petrozzi, Benetti Sales Director.
The new B.Now 52M – with exteriors by RWD and interiors designed by Valentina Zannier – reinterprets and redefines the concept of the B.Now 50M, one of the most successful models in the family, which has sold 21 units in just a few years, an absolute record in this size category.
The revolution stems from the desire to reimagine the spaces, not only by increasing the size of the hull, but also through innovative interior design that breaks with tradition to promote a harmonious flow between the various areas.
The Oasis Deck® is 30% larger than the previous version, extending over a surface area of 130 square metres and extending a full 15 metres of space from the stern to the lounge entrance. The larger and completely redesigned pool incorporates a retractable cover system that transforms the area into a spacious platform on the water with a magical atmosphere.
While the exterior has been redesigned to offer generous spaces, the real heart of the project can be found on the Main Deck: entering through the lounge door, a continuous 48-metre pathway extends right up to the panoramic bow terrace, offering uninterrupted views. Here, the layout amplifies the sense of space by eliminating the external starboard side corridor, which is now integrated within the interiors in a new solution featuring huge, glazed surfaces.
The larger internal staircase, positioned in the centre of the new open space, becomes a design feature, while the dining room, now located at the bow, is flooded by light entering through floor-to-ceiling windows. On the Upper Deck, the elimination of the external staircase up to the terrace creates a new area entirely reserved for the owner—110 square metres split between the master cabin and the private terrace.
“Our vision for the B.Now 52M was to reprise the extraordinary features that made the B.Now 50M model such a success and take them to the next level, creating a harmonious combination of openness, functionality and flexibility,” explains Charlie Baker, Director of RWD.
Interior designer Valentina Zannier comments: “A new concept must represent progress in terms of both aesthetics and functionality in equal measure, and the B.Now 52M perfectly embodies this balance. Essential in her clean architectural lines, elegant in her interior design language, and with fluid connections between the spaces.”
Like the B.Loft 65M, the new 58M too retains the distinctive features and contemporary architectural language inspired by large villas and modern lofts.
The experience on board starts with the Cabana, a shaded area that can be open or closed, right on the water’s edge, offering a new and original interpretation of the beach club. The side wings swing out to create a 120-square-metre bathing platform stretching 15.5 metres wide. An indoor and outdoor space on the water, where the light reflecting from the pool on the terrace above envelops this convivial and relaxing setting.
The loft experience is characterised by the panoramic Sky Lounge on the Upper Deck, which extends across over 70 square metres and has a remarkable ceiling height of 3.5 metres. The large glass side walls offer an unobstructed view of the horizon, while a wide sliding door opens onto an outdoor area with sea views.
Both the sleek, elegant exterior styling and interiors featuring generous proportions and a wealth of functions are by Cassetta Yacht Designers. “We wanted B.Loft to be a place where you feel wonderfully at ease wherever you are on board: a space that’s both familiar and surprising,” explains Giorgio Cassetta. “We were inspired by the modern architecture of waterfront villas, particularly in Central America, with terraces on multiple levels that are always perfectly interconnected, where everyone feels part of the same environment.”
