The inaugural descent of the BO116 into the water marks a significant moment for Benetti, unveiling their latest creation at the Livorno shipyard in Italy. This 40.8-meter superyacht, christened the Benetti Oasis 40M, epitomizes a commitment to delivering an unparalleled wellness experience, staying true to the original design of the Oasis 40M. The external aesthetics are a testament to the collaborative efforts of RWD for the exteriors and Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture for the interiors.
Crafted for a discerning Canadian owner, the BO116 redefines onboard luxury with a primary focus on well-being, meticulously tailored to meet the owner's desires. Transforming the traditional gym area on the main deck into a dedicated wellness suite, the owner's personal touch extends to a customized lighting system on the sun deck, creating an inviting atmosphere with party lights and a DJ console for maximum entertainment.
The interiors of BO116 are bathed in natural light, courtesy of extensive glazing across all decks. The main deck dining area has undergone a metamorphosis into a lounge space, adorned with an exquisitely elegant Onice marble bar unit illuminated from within, enhancing the overall ambiance.
Designed to accommodate up to 12 guests in five staterooms and a crew of five, BO116 ensures a luxurious and comfortable experience. The innovative Oasis Deck® transforms the beach area into a sea-view terrace, providing guests direct access to the water.
In terms of performance, BO116 is propelled by twin MAN V12 engines, offering a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 17 knots. Adhering to environmental standards, the yacht features a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system in compliance with IMO Tier III exhaust gas emissions regulations.
BO116 is scheduled for delivery in the spring of 2024.
