Benetti shares more details about its new B.Yond series

Italian shipyard Benetti used the Monaco Yacht Show to release further details about the new additions to its steel-and-aluminium explorer B.Yond line. The 57-metre and 40-metre models build on the success of the original 37-metre B.Yond, which was brought to market in 2022, and will feature hybrid-electric propulsion systems.

The flagship and mid-level additions both feature exteriors by Igor Lobanov and interiors from the drawing boards of Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture , with the designs aiming to emulate an "explorer feeling" without compromising on elegance and luxury. 

The new models were previously hinted at during a press conference at last year's Monaco Yacht Show , where Igor Lobanov said the newly styled B.Yond line was designed to be something of an "optical illusion", which disguises the interior of the yacht. "The very thin black graphics make the yacht look bigger," he explained. "It's hard to know what lies inside from the outside."

For the 57-metre edition, the yard has proposed three stern configurations. One is the Beach, which centres around a pool and the second is Air, which is tailored to accommodate a touch-and-go helipad that can also double as a veranda. The final option is the Water configuration, which is designed to store toys, diving gear and other exploration equipment. 

Meanwhile, the four-deck 40-metre has a number of different configurations but centres around 150 square metres of socialising space surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. For this yacht, Benetti has envisioned a palette of pale colours and light woods to accentuate the vistas from the outside world.

The B.Yond line was first introduced as a compact explorer with a classic expedition-style exterior, tall profile and high-volume interior. 

The press conference also revealed a new B.Loft line, which is inspired by "urban living" with lofty, high-ceiling interiors, as well as sharing further details about the previously-unveiled Motopanfilo 45M.

The inaugural B.Loft showcases a steel hull, an aluminum superstructure, and multi-layered decks that create openness and flow. With an impressive beam just shy of 35 feet, the spacious yacht offers six cabins for 12 guests and nine for 13 crew. The interior combines modern matte surfaces and swathes of natural teak, creating an elegant environment for entertaining.

The standout feature of the B.Loft 65M is the “cabana” on the main deck. A cut above an ordinary beach club, the panoramic area is outfitted with three glass doors that afford 270-degree views and two fold-down wings that create up to 430 square feet of relaxation space. The glass-bottomed pool on the main deck above allows different lights, patterns, and shapes to fill the space.

Speaking of the main deck, the semi-enclosed aft area leads to a spacious interior lounge and a luxurious lobby. The nearby dining area features floor-to-ceiling windows and a large, central table that is perfect for entertaining. This deck also includes a fully equipped galley and a second lobby with a winter garden and more fold-out balconies.

The upper deck is also sure to impress, with towering 13-foot ceilings and a lobby that Benetti says is longer and more spacious than those typically found on yachts of this size. Again, a glass-bottomed hot tub on the sundeck above lets the light shine through the water onto the area below.

MONACO YACHT SHOW 2024 BENETTI PRESENTS THE B.LOFT PROJECT AND THE NEW MODELS IN THE B.YOND AND MOTOPANFILO FAMILIES

Benetti confirms its commitment to supporting the sustainable lifestyle concept with eight hybrid units under construction for the B.Yond and B.Now lines.

During the press conference held at the Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo on the sidelines of the Monaco Yacht Show 2024, which has just ended with great success, Benetti presented the new developments that encapsulate the essence of the Shipyard – “ The House of Yachting ” – to the international media and its network of brokers.      

CEO Marco Valle opened the conference by underscoring how the targets achieved by the Group in 2023/2024, with revenues of €1.3 billion and a backlog of €2.6 billion, have laid the groundwork for forecast growth of 15% in the coming yachting season. This goal is backed by an investment plan worth €160 million to support the company’s strategic priorities for the three-year period 2025-2027.     

The Group has achieved this important milestone with the help of the excellent results reported by the Benetti division, which has an order backlog of 58 units totalling 30,900 GT, as was confirmed by Benetti Sales Director Daniela Petrozzi .     

SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE   

Benetti develops the brand’s innovation around the concept of sustainable lifestyle, with an approach that combines future-forward research with the implementation of the best and most effective solutions available today.     

The Shipyard has introduced state-of-the-art electrification systems that reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%. Benetti offers the widest hybrid range on the market, with 90% of models available in hybrid or diesel-electric versions. There is also razor-sharp focus on reducing energy consumption. Power Management designed to optimise the electrical loads on board, heat recovery systems and the use of direct expansion air-conditioning technology reduce service consumption on board by up to 40%.    

The Group has also reached an agreement with ENI, and the resulting use of HVO biofuel for all shipyard operations has reduced CO2 emissions by 1,000 tonnes/year.  HVO, which is compatible with the entire Benetti range, can decrease well-to-wake emissions by up to 90% when used as the on-board fuel.     

In addition, the Shipyard always fits SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems as standard for yachts under 500 GT, even though this is not required by law in this category. According to Benetti’s estimates, this choice reduces NOx emissions by 2.5 t per yacht/year, as well as allowing its yachts to be used in marine protected areas, as announced by Benetti General Manager Massimo Casoni .      

During the press conference, Sebastiano Vida – Benetti Head of Product – and the designers involved presented the new B.Yond 40M and 57M, Motopanfilo 45M and B.Loft projects.     

B.YOND, THE VOYAGER LINE FOR ENDLESS JOURNEYS   

Benetti renews the B.Yond line, the greenest family of yachts in the category. B.Yond is evolving thanks to the collaboration with Igor Lobanov for the exterior styling and Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture for the interior design, 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 B.Yond line models share an ‘explorer feeling’ on board while retaining the classic elegance of Benetti yachts, where the white hull in contrast with the grey superstructure brings both strength and elegance. The B.Yond family is designed for leisurely voyages of exploration in unspoilt areas, made possible by the advanced technology installed on board by Benetti and the hybrid-electric system, which reduce impact on the environment.    

B.Yond 57M , one Voyager, three lifestyles   

B.Yond 57M is designed to guarantee a range of experiences on long cruises. This model has three stern configurations: 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 the Water version designed to stow marine exploration equipment. The extensive glazing on this 57-meter yacht lets in the 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  

B.Yond 40M extends across four decks, each designed for a specific function, with various possible configurations. The areas for socialising occupy about 150 square metres and are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glazing that floods the interiors with light. On this 40-meter yacht, the different proportions of the main salon have made it possible to use a palette of paler colours, including a bleached white oak with a brushed finish that adds depth and character but also durability.    

MOTOPANFILO 45M, THE NAVETTA 3.0 FOR AN EXPERIENCE OF CONVIVIALITY AND CONTACT WITH NATURE  

Motopanfilo 45M, with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, is a modern revisiting of the ‘Navetta’ concept in collaboration with RWD for the exterior design and Lazzarini Pickering Architetti for the concept behind the interior and exterior living spaces.  Motopanfilo 45M introduces the Veranda Deck® concept, which reinvents the Main Deck salon by completely opening it on three sides to create a veranda overlooking the infinity pool, with sweeping vistas that extend to the horizon. The interiors/exteriors are graced by natural materials such as wicker, rattan and bamboo, which appeal to all the senses, especially sight and touch.     

B.LOFT, A NEW YACHTING EXPERIENCE  

Designed according to new architectural criteria, B.Loft is the new project by Cassetta Yacht Designers for Benetti, one that brings a contemporary residential feel to a megayacht. The new B.Loft introduces the Cabana on the Lower Deck , a revolutionary feature that redefines the beach club concept. This panoramic area offers a 270-degree view, with fold-down wings that expand the space still further. B.Loft combines the volumes of a villa with the luminosity of a loft. The interiors are characterised by ceilings that are about four metres high, while the immense outdoor areas – some of which can be converted into interiors – provide the ultimate in flexibility and customisation options.

The striking Plan B (Project 422) is an imposing 73m (246´) vessel, launched by ADM Kiel in 2012. With exteriors by Focus Yacht Design and interiors by H2 Yacht Design, she represents the first yacht launched from the shipyard since the rebranding from HDW to ADM Kiel. The accommodation sleeps up to 12 guests across eight beautifully appointed suites, including 3 VIP staterooms.

NOTABLE FEATURES: ~ Sundeck Jacuzzi ~ Massive beach club ~ Spa ~ Steam room ~ Helipad ~ Elevator

The main deck aft is partially shaded by the upper deck overhang, and a canopy shade can be used or removed to suit guests sitting at the outdoor lounge located on the stern. The area also hosts two small circular dining tables perfect for a meal while enjoying close conversation or for spending time on hobbies. Staircases on the port and starboard sides connect to the deep swim platform below, which make an excellent sunbathing area beside the water.

On the upper deck, the shaded aft section offers two tables for alfresco dining in smaller groups and close to the stern there are sofas and armchairs for socializing with taking in the outdoor ambiance. A Portuguese deck on the upper deck forward offers an alternative place for outdoor living and is fitted with tables and sofas.

Guests can arrive via the forward helipad on the sundeck and when clear this area makes an excellent spot to observe the environment without impediments. Behind the helipad, there is a luscious Jacuzzi encircled by sunpads, sun loungers, and a bar, all of which benefit from exposure to the sunshine. The aft sundeck is shaded by a canopy and offers a large oval table where guests can dine alfresco in style, plus seating integrated into the stern for outdoor relaxation after a meal.

The lower deck aft contains a spacious beach club, and a corridor connects through to a steam room and spa. The tenders are stored in the engine room and are launched via side-opening hatches. Forward of the engine room, there is guest accommodation of 1 double cabin and three twin cabins, all with en-suite facilities.

The bow section is dedicated to crew accommodation, as is the tank deck below where the laundry and similar facilities are located.

On the main deck, the forward section hosts the Master suite which has the added benefits of a private terrace, en-suite bathroom, a private, lounge, study and walk-in wardrobe. The timeless decor uses patterned white surfaces against warm wood, and floor-to-ceiling windows fill the interior with natural light and ensure the room's occupants receive spectacular views.

The main foyer separates the Master suite from the main salon, which is a voluminous open-plan room that divides the area into three separate areas based on utilization. The forward space is reserved for the striking formal dining table, which uses a monochrome color scheme, mirrored surfaces, and modern artwork to create an atmospheric place to celebrate a special occasion.

The middle of the main salon contains the lounge and two sofas and a set of arm chairs are places along the port and starboard walls to best benefit from the large windows. The black and white furnishings around coffee tables offer a comfortable place to catch up with friends and family over drinks while surrounded by contemporary art work.

The aft main salon contains the bar, which has an excellent selection of spirits and is ideally positioned to serve guests outside as well as within. The mirror-finish of the bar draws the eye and complements the natural materials and textures of the adjacent settee and the games table set up in front of the glass sliding doors to the main deck aft.

The upper deck contains the helm station and the three VIP staterooms, each of which are individually styled and designed to offer guests the best in contemporary luxury. To the aft, the sky lounge contains two C-shaped seating arrangements each around a table. The lounge provides a second room for guests to unwind and spend time chatting or pursuing pastimes, where the floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light for the perfect reading environment.

PLAN B Specifications

On the sundeck, the indoor space contains a gym so that guests can exercise while in transit and take in the spectacular views.

The steel and aluminum Plan B is powered by twin MTU 16V 4000 M60 diesel engines. She can easily reach a top speed of 17 knots and a cruising speed of 13 knots.

Yacht Accommodation

The layout provides accommodation for up to 12 guests over 8 lavish staterooms: 1 Master suite, 3 VIP staterooms, 1 double cabins and 3 twin cabins. The crew of 20 will provide everything guests require for a stellar cruising experience.
