During the prestigious and notorious Monaco Yacht Show 2024, Benetti presented the new developments that truly captured the essence of the Shipyard, “The House of Yachting”. During a recent press conference, CEO Marco Valle opened the conference by highlighting how the targets were achieved by the Group in 2023/24. The brand earned revenues of €1.3 billion and a backlog of €2.6 billion. The brand achieved this important milestone with the help of the excellent results reported by the Benetti division.
Benetti “The House of Yachting”
Founded in 1873, the storied Italian shipyard, Benetti, specialises in luxury yachts. The brand is an icon of timeless style and construction excellence. Every yacht that is designed and brought to life is unique and developed around its owner. Their fleet consists of 6 categories; Class, Oasis, B.Yond, B.Now, B.Century and Custom.
Sustainable Lifestyle
Benetti develops the brand’s innovation around the concept of a sustainable lifestyle. An approach that combines future-forward research with the implementation of the best and most effective solutions.
The shipyard introduced state-of-the-art electrification systems that reduced fuel consumption by 20%. Benetti also has the widest hybrid range on the market with 90% of the models available in hybrid or diesel-electric versions. With a razor-sharp focus on reducing energy consumption, the Power Management is designed to optimise the electrical loads on board, heat recovery systems and the use of direct expansion air-conditioning technology. Power Management reduces service consumption on board by up to 40%.
Benetti reached an agreement with ENI, resulting in the use of HVO biofuel for all shipyard operations reducing CO2 emissions by 1000 tonnes/year. HVO is compatible with the entire Benetti range and can decrease well-to-wake emissions by up to 90% when used as the on-board fuel. Fits SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems are standard for yachts under 500 GT. SCR reduces NOx emissions by 2.5 t per yacht/year, allowing its yachts to be used in marine protected areas.
B.Yond, The Voyager for Endless Journeys
Benetti renews the B.Yond line with the greenest family of yachts in the category, The Voyager of Endless Journeys. The line is evolving thanks to the collaboration with Igor Lobanov for exterior styling and Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture for interior design and with two different concepts that point up the identity of the new 40M and 57M. The result is a voyager that goes beyond the concept of a traditional megayacht or extreme explorer.
The line models share an ‘explore feeling’ on board. Retaining the classic elegance of Benetti yachts, the white hull in contrast with the grey superstructure brings both strength and elegance. The family is designed for leisurely voyages of exploration in unspoilt areas. The line includes advanced technology installed on board by Benetti and a hybrid-electric system to reduce impact on the environment.
B.Yond 57M, one Voyager, three lifestyles
This 57 metre is designed to guarantee a range of experience on long cruises. The B.Yond 57M comes in three stern configurations which are the Beach version with a generous outdoor area and pool, the Air version with a touch & go helipad for a limitless cruising experience and the possibility of transforming this space into a veranda and lastly the Water version which is designed to stow marine exploration equipment.
She has extensive glazing that lets in sunlight, making it possible to use wood with a carbon black finish that translates into more luminous views of the water.
B.Yond 40M, innovation that expands horizons
The B.Yond 40M extends across four decks, each designed for a specific function with various possible configurations. This Benetti yacht has areas for socialising that occupy 150 square metres and is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glazing that floods the interior with light. She also has different proportions of the main salon by using a palette of paler colours adding depth, character and durability with a brushed finish of bleached white oak.
Motopanfilo 45M, the Navetta 3.0 for an Experience of Conviviality and contact with nature
With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the Motopanifilo 45M is a modern revisiting of the “Navetta” concept. In collaboration with RWD for the exterior styling and Lazzarini & Pickering Architetti, the concept behind the interiors and exterior decks is brought to light.
Benetti introduces the Veranda DeckⓇ concept, which reinvents the Main Deck salon. By completely opening it on three sides to create a veranda, views include the cool blue waters of the infinity pool and sweeping vistas that extend to the horizon. The interiors and exteriors are adorned with a mixture of natural materials like wicker, rattan and bamboo that appeal to all the senses, mainly sight and touch.
B.Loft, a New Yachting Experience
The B.Loft is a groundbreaking megayacht designed by Cassetta Yacht Designers. Inspired by contemporary residential architecture, the B.Loft offers a unique living experience on the water. The Cabana on the Main Deck is a revolutionary feature that redefines the beach club concept. With its 270-degree views and expandable wings, the B.Loft offers ample outdoor space. The yacht’s lofty interiors and immense outdoor areas provide ultimate flexibility and customization options.
