The first interior images of the 49.9-metre Benetti-built Asani have been released. Delivered this September, the yacht’s exterior lines stem from the drawing boards of UK-based studio RWD, with interior styling courtesy of in-house designer Mauro Izzo alongside Bergman Design House.
Asani's exterior profile is distinguished by a classic white profile, with flowing lines, a vertical bow and extensive glazing. The yacht also benefits from the shipyard's signature Oasis Deck, in which unfolding bulwarks offer 116 square metres of open space at the water’s edge.
According to her shipyard, Asani's interiors have been curated to showcase the work of both renowned artists and rising stars, with each piece of artwork "telling a story and celebrating creativity and craftmanship". LASS Studio was chosen to refine the living spaces, which feature a suite of neutral colours and soft furnishing for a warm, contemporary atmosphere.
Accommodation is spread across four decks, offering a total of five cabins for up to 10 guests. The full-beam master suite, located on the main deck, comprises a private terrace with an outdoor shower, a dressing area and a bathroom finished in Calacatta marble. Four additional guest cabins, each with en suite bathrooms, are situated on the lower deck.
On the main deck, the saloon opens directly onto the Oasis Deck, creating a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor living areas. Natural oak and wenge-effect finishes, paired with bespoke furnishings create a "feeling of immense comfort and serenity on board".
The upper deck houses a sociable sky lounge complete with a bar and games table, offering easy access to the aft deck’s al fresco dining area. Above, the sundeck features a Jacuzzi with panoramic views, L-shaped sofas and multi-functional tables that convert into dining areas.
The Oasis Deck at the stern best reflects the yacht’s focus on outdoor living, with fold-out wings that extend the space, an infinity pool and a 270-degree view. The raised beach area includes a bar and a comfortable lounge close to the water, seamlessly connecting to the main saloon via sliding doors.
Additional exterior highlights include a sunpad and a double sofa on the upper deck’s forward section, while the main deck’s garage accommodates a 6.25-metre tender, two Jet Skis and various water toys.
Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Asani has a gross tonnage of under 499GT and a beam of 9.2 metres. She can achieve a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising range of 4,500 nautical miles at 10 knots, powered by twin 1,400 hp MAN engines.
This follows the launch of Juno's 7, the first unit in Benetti's Class 44M series.
