Benetti reaffirms its commitment to the Middle East at the Qatar Boat Show

Benetti unveils the latest evolutions of the Oasis range and the 70m Clear Waves concept.

At the Qatar Boat Show, Benetti reaffirms its strategic commitment to the Middle East and unveils the evolution of the Oasis Deck®, now extended to the steel B.Now family, alongside Clear Waves, an innovative 70-metre yacht concept designed around the principles of longevity and wellbeing at sea. From 4 to 7 November, Benetti will participate in the Qatar Boat Show 2026 in Doha, reaffirming the central role of the Middle East within its international growth strategy. This commitment is reflected in the company’s longstanding and continuous presence in the region through the work of Nabil El Jammal, Middle East Area Manager, who has overseen the market since 2004, fostering enduring relationships with yacht owners, partners and local stakeholders.

“My journey with Benetti began in 2004 and, over more than two decades, we have built strong and lasting relationships with owners and partners across the region. The Middle East represents a strategic market for Benetti, and the continuity of our presence here reflects a long-term commitment and our determination to remain close to our clients at every stage of their yachting journey. The Qatar Boat Show is an important opportunity for dialogue and exchange, allowing us to listen closely to the market and support each owner in bringing their vision to life,” comments Nabil El Jammal.

The Evolution of the Oasis Family 

At the show, Benetti will showcase the latest developments within the Oasis family, the project that introduced the pioneering Oasis Deck® concept to the yachting world, redefining the way outdoor spaces are experienced and transforming life on board. The beach area with fold-out sea terraces, the integrated aft pool and the remarkable continuity between indoor and outdoor living on the Main Deck established a new paradigm of conviviality, relaxation and connection with the marine environment, rapidly becoming a benchmark for the entire industry. Following the success of the Oasis 40M and Oasis 34M, this philosophy has continued to evolve through the Oasis 42M and the latest Oasis 36M project, characterised by a new naval architecture, a fresh interpretation of onboard living spaces and the introduction of technologies that further enhance comfort, acoustic performance, hydrodynamic efficiency and energy optimisation. The Oasis Deck® concept, developed by Benetti in collaboration with British design studio RWD, is also incorporated into the B.Now family of steel yachts. Spanning models from 50 to 72 metres, the family has achieved remarkable success, with 21 yachts delivered and 15 currently under construction, further reinforcing the Shipyard’s leadership in the large yacht segment.

 70-Metre Yacht Concept Designed Around Longevity 

In Doha, Benetti will also present Clear Waves, an innovative 70-metre yacht concept developed in collaboration with LUCA DINI Design & Architecture and The Longevity Suite. Conceived to place physical and mental wellbeing at the heart of the onboard experience, Clear Waves interprets the principles of longevity as the ability to preserve balance, health and quality of life over time through dedicated environments, experiences and regenerative technologies. The project’s defining feature is the spectacular Glass Dome, a striking glazed structure spanning more than 400 square metres across two decks, offering uninterrupted 360-degree views of the sea and surrounding landscape while radically reimagining the traditional yacht superstructure. Beneath the dome, a convivial wellness environment takes shape, featuring relaxation areas, hot and cold water experiences, food and beverage venues, and next-generation treatment technologies, creating a seamless dialogue between architecture, nature and life on board.  The pursuit of wellbeing extends throughout the entire yacht. Air and water quality, acoustic comfort, lighting, materials and microclimate regulation have all been carefully engineered to support the body’s natural rhythms and promote health, relaxation and regeneration. Designed according to advanced energy-efficiency principles, Clear Waves integrates approximately 250 square metres of translucent photovoltaic panels, advanced climate-control and energy-management systems, and a dual-fuel hybrid propulsion architecture prepared for the use of HVO and methanol, fully aligned with Benetti’s vision for an increasingly responsible and future-oriented yachting industry.
