The 1995-built Benetti motor yacht Solafide has completed an extensive multi-million euro refit (2023-2025) and is now exclusively listed for sale with Camper & Nicholsons. The 499GT vessel underwent a complete transformation while retaining its classic Benetti lines.Measuring 45 meters in length with a steel hull, Solafide offers transatlantic range of 4,600 nautical miles at 12 knots. The refit included full hull and superstructure repainting, complete engine and generator rebuilds, new CMC electric stabilizers, and upgraded navigation systems.Tommaso Spadolini supervised the exterior redesign which created new alfresco dining areas and transformed the 120 sqm sundeck into a helicopter-capable space with hot tub. The aft deck now features fold-down terraces expanding the beach club area.Supernova Design Studio completely reimagined the interior with warm wood tones, onyx details and custom furnishings. The layout accommodates 12 guests in six cabins, including a main deck master suite with convertible office/lounge and four lower deck cabins (two doubles, two twins)."Solafide represents the perfect combination of classic Benetti quality and contemporary systems," said sales broker Della Pearce. The yacht's comprehensive refit earned a nomination for Best Refit at the 2025 World Superyacht Awards.The refit addressed all major systems while enhancing both guest amenities and operational capabilities.

Italian architecture firm MASK Architects has released details of its 85-meter superyacht concept, ONYX H2-BO 85, featuring an innovative hydrogen propulsion system. The vessel utilizes seawater electrolysis combined with hydroelectric turbines to generate power, aiming to reduce fossil fuel dependency during short cruises.The system works by extracting seawater, which undergoes filtration and desalination before entering an electrolysis chamber. An electrical current then separates the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The collected hydrogen serves as fuel for engines, generators or fuel cells, with excess stored in tanks for backup power."While producing hydrogen from seawater is feasible, it requires specialized equipment and expertise," noted the studio. "Collaboration with marine engineering and hydrogen technology experts would be essential."The yacht's design features a narrow profile with sport yacht influences. Renderings show contemporary interiors incorporating what the designers describe as "sumptuous" and "eco-conscious" materials. Leisure areas include a sunbathing foredeck, al fresco dining space on the sundeck, and an aft swimming pool.Technical specifications reveal the hydroelectric turbines capture kinetic energy from surrounding water, potentially eliminating the need for large fuel reserves. The studio claims this approach could offer long-term cost savings given rising fuel prices, though no specific efficiency data was provided.The concept emerges as the maritime industry faces increasing environmental regulations. While hydrogen propulsion promises zero local emissions, challenges remain regarding the energy-intensive electrolysis process. The studio suggests supplementing the system with renewable energy sources like solar panels, though these are not shown in current renderings.At 85 meters, ONYX H2-BO 85 would rank among larger superyacht concepts, though no construction timeline or potential shipyard partners were disclosed. The project represents one of several recent attempts to develop cleaner propulsion systems for luxury vessels, joining concepts using batteries, fuel cells and alternative fuels.MASK Architects, known for futuristic design proposals across maritime and aviation sectors, has not indicated whether the concept has attracted client interest. The studio typically focuses on conceptual work rather than production-ready designs. Industry observers note that while hydrogen shows promise for maritime applications, infrastructure limitations and storage challenges remain significant hurdles for widespread adoption.The release of additional technical details suggests ongoing development of the concept, though no sea trials or prototype construction have been announced. The project joins a growing portfolio of eco-conscious yacht designs as the industry explores solutions to meet tightening environmental standards.Credits: MASK Architects
