First Benetti Oasis 40 M delivered

The owner christened the 40.80 metre long and 8.50 metre wide GRP displacer "Rebeca". For the new semi-custom format, Benetti commissioned the British designers from RWD to create an experience-orientated exterior design for a younger clientele. The result is large outdoor areas with an aft deck pool and fold-down bulwark as well as a yoga room. Benetti launched the first Oasis 40 M without an owner and collaborated with the New York studio Bonetti/Kozerski for the interior. Eight guests spend the night in four cabins on the lower deck, while the owner occupies the forward main deck. The 310-tonne construction moves at a maximum of 15 knots and achieves a range of 4000 nautical miles at four knots less speed.

Marco Valle, the new CEO of Azimut-Benetti, announced at the press conference in Portofino that the shipyard group will be presenting a total of nine new models over the next 18 months. These include a new Oasis size, which is scheduled for launch in 2022.
