Benetti has signed a contract for the simultaneous construction of two hulls in its B.Now 50M series. The sale was completed in South America with the assistance of FGI Yacht Group.
The 49.9-metre models will both be equipped with the shipyard's "innovative" Oasis Deck. First exhibited on the Benetti Oasis 40M Rebeca, the traditional beach club set-up is instead replaced with a tiered aft deck that stretches from the main saloon to the water's edge. Exterior design is owed to RWD, while interiors will be completed by Benetti.
Other highlights include an aft deck infinity pool and full-height windows which provide 270-degree views from multiple areas, including the main deck saloon.
"These projects underscore Benetti's capacity to meet the most exacting standards of luxury, quality, comfort and performance, even in large-scale, simultaneous builds," said Daniela Petrozzi, sales director at Benetti. "We look forward to delivering two extraordinary vessels that will undoubtedly raise the bar for the presently set benchmarks in the superyacht segment."
"It's a privilege to bring clients together with a shipyard of Benetti's caliber," added Frank Grzeszczak Jr., vice president and sales broker of FGI Yacht Group. "This project represents not just a significant sale, but a testament to the enduring allure of Benetti's exceptional quality and the robust health of the superyacht market for clients looking for a vessel that is just as unique as they are."
This follows the announcement that the fifteenth and fourteenth units had entered outfitting, proving the B.Now 50M to be a popular series. This summer also saw the launch of Asani and the delivery of Dyna R.
