At the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2026, Benetti takes center stage with two major milestones: the World Premiere of the Oasis 40M “Liv Love” and the American Debut of the hybrid B.Neos.
The Palm Beach International Boat Show 2026, one of the world’s leading industry events, provides Benetti with an important platform to consolidate its presence on the American market, now one of the most dynamic in the large yachts segment. The Shipyard’s renewed participation is part of a structured strengthening strategy in the region, currently led by Benjamin Croucher for North America and Giorgio Sarti for the LATAM market, with the aim of consolidating long-term commercial relationships and the brand’s leadership in the international high-end yachting segment.
Steel, hybrid technology and custom design
The growing demand for highly personalized solutions in the large yacht segment continues to be a cornerstone of the brand’s strategy. This path is rooted in a long-standing expertise in steel construction and has evolved over time through the adoption of advanced engineering technologies, the development of increasingly efficient naval architectures, and a design approach fully oriented toward full-custom solutions, a true expression of the Shipyard’s strategic and forward-thinking vision. Following the success of 2025 with the delivery of two 67-meter yachts, Benetti now boasts an order book in the steel segment above 499 GT exceeding 21,000 GT, with units currently under construction and deliveries scheduled over the next three years.
- Alongside two full-custom units under construction, the steel segment includes several product families currently in the backlog, reflecting a broad and well-structured offering.
- The B.Loft 58M, a new concept developed by Cassetta Yacht Designers, introduces an innovative architectural language characterized by volumes and heights inspired by spacious lofts. The project also features the new Cabana Deck®, a reimagined space in the beach area: covered yet in direct contact with the sea, designed to offer an unprecedented living experience.
- The B.Yond line of voyagers designed for long cruises, represented by a full-custom 47M and the new 57Ms, designed by Lobanov Design and Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture.
- The B.Now line, currently the cornerstone of the Shipyard’s production with exterior styling by RWD, includes models ranging from 50 to 72 meters. These units feature interiors designed by world-renowned firms such as Valentina Zannier, Reymond Langton Design, and Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. The family has also been expanded with the first two 67-meter hybrid yachts, recently launched in Livorno.
The hybrid propulsion system installed on these two units stands out for its high level of modularity: the three key elements – main engines, generators and battery pack – operate flexibly and in synergy to adapt to each cruising profile, optimizing energy flows and consumption. This flexible architecture, combined with an advanced shaft drive system with variable pitch propellers, delivers high performance by making it possible to select the most efficient configuration depending on the actual situation. The commitment to environmental impact also translates into the intelligent use of waste energy: a heat recovery system captures the energy produced by the generators, allowing it to be reused throughout the yacht’s various operating modes.
B.Neos makes its debut in the USA
The Palm Beach International Boat Show 2026 has also been chosen for the American market debut of B.Neos, the new 40-meter hybrid. The project springs from a clear design choice: to offer a low-noise and high-comfort cruising experience based on a latest generation hybrid propulsion system included as standard. In terms of style, B.Neos stands out for a sleek silhouette and clean lines, which translate into an elegant and contemporary profile designed by McKeon Yacht Design. The interior architecture designed by Francesca Muzio (FM Architettura) prioritizes warm, functional settings to foster a more informal approach to yachting. The spaces are designed to create continuity between the interiors and exteriors, enhancing an experience on board in which time, privacy and interaction with the surrounding environment take center stage.
The project is complemented by an integrated ecosystem of turnkey services – including an extended warranty, advanced remote monitoring systems and crew training programs – designed to ensure maximum operating reliability and protect the value of the investment over time.
Making her world premiere at Palm Beach, Liv Love is an Oasis 40M featuring a blue hull that enhances the yacht’s lines and underscores her elegant silhouette. At the project’s core is the Oasis Deck® by RWD: an open platform overlooking the sea, designed to invite direct contact with the water and create a new dimension for social interaction. The interiors, developed based on concepts by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture and decorated by the owner’s designer, stand out for their use of fine materials including rosewood, onyx and marble with unique veining, as well as travertine in the main cabins.
On show alongside Liv Love, M/Y Mine Games is a B.Now 50M – with exteriors by RWD and custom interiors designed by the Benetti Style Department – that epitomizes the Shipyard’s excellence in bespoke yacht production. A distinctive feature is the positioning of the tender and water toys in the bow, resulting in plenty of usable space aft. On the lower deck, an uninterrupted 30-square-meter surface combines the beach area and a generous wellness space, forming a spacious terrace at the water’s edge. The design also ensures a high level of privacy by providing two separate internal staircases with completely independent flows, one for guests and the other for crew.
