enetti released further details of the BNow family concept at Monaco Yacht Show after the first model was snapped up in the wake of its rapturous reception at Cannes yachting Festival. This radical family of full custom displacement yachts designed by RWD promises short delivery times and casual, contemporary interiors. The BNow concept spans four different models of 50, 55, 63 and 68 metres respectively. All will have highly customizable layouts. The 63 and 68-metres, for example, both offer a very large, secluded owner quarters complete with fire place – a plus that is almost unheard of in yachts of this size. Other signatures include an aft swimming pool, sun deck Jacuzzi and transom terrace.They will also share the same elegantly fluid beauty with strongly dynamic lines connecting decks and distinctive elongated windows unifying the look. But most importantly of all, Benetti is coining a new concept of luxury that will offer each owner a paradigm-shifting yacht, customised to reflect their individual tastes and personalities. Delivery times will be shorter too, thanks to Benetti’s advanced construction technologies and computer simulation which knocks six months off simply by taking away the need for tank-testing. www.benettiyachts.it
