Malcolm McKeon, a veteran designer synonymous with sailing superyachts, shaped the flowing B.Neos form: clean proportions, slick profile, and a silhouette that favors balance over bulk. The look is restrained, elegant and timeless.
Inside, Francesca Muzio (FM Architettura) delivers interiors that feel lived-in rather than monumental. Lightness, warm materials, tactile finishes and welcoming spaces replace formality and excess. The focus shifts from display to comfort. The purpose is to enjoy the yacht through familyoriented spaces. A return to what truly matters. A simplicity that elevates the overall experience.
Enjoy lunch with family in the cockpit. No exhaust fumes. No vibration. No generator hum. Just fresh air, the sound of the sea and the voices of those you love to have around. Full silence day and night, with everything on board operating seamlessly thanks to the batteries when in Hotel Mode, giving up to 5 hours during the day and 8 hours at night on electrical power alone.
B.Neos can operate on battery power when leaving the harbor in the morning, when entering a protected marina, or during port maneuvers and mooring. Hybrid efficiency follows naturally. Compared to yachts of the same size, B.Neos cuts energy consumption by up to 30% thanks to its purpose-built technical ecosystem.
Onboard technology works quietly in the background, delivering advanced home automation, ultra-fast 5G and Starlink connectivity, and smart systems that simplify life on board. Behind the scenes, augmented reality and AI allow crew and shipyard to monitor systems remotely, anticipate issues and intervene in real time. For the owner, it means reliability without the stress.
Benetti has a track record of anticipating trends. The world’s biggest yacht manufacturer designed the first beach-focused series, called Oasis Deck®, one of the best-selling yacht models of the House. B.Neos sails to the same ethos, introducing multiple innovations.
The advanced engine room optimizes technical volumes, reducing them by 30% which frees up valuable living space. The result is an unexpected layout, creating a breath-taking Sea Atrium – with 2.4 meters ceiling height – framed by floor-toceiling glass and additional lateral hull windows. The teak flooring extends inward, visually linking the main saloon with the pool and the aft deck with seamless transition. The Sea Atrium upgrades the beach club into a new social hub: a destination for reading, relaxing and entertaining while remaining completely connected to the water.
At the heart of the yacht is the Family Kitchen: an open, welcoming space for sharing informal meals without necessarily needing the crew to be around. Life feels easy for a family lunch, morning breakfast or even show-cooking with friends. Of course, flexibility is key. For more formal occasions, the dining area can be discreetly separated.
By moving the wheelhouse forward on the Main Deck, Benetti frees the entire Upper Deck for the owner looking toward the horizon. The result is a private apartment with 270-degree panoramic views, a feature usually reserved for yachts well over 60 meters, and a rare level of privacy for a yacht of this size. Directly connected to the owner’s cabin there is a large private terrace. This outside space includes both dining and occasional tables, perfect for private breakfast or for what may be one of the most beautiful workspaces in the world.
For today’s owners, Benetti rethought the entire ownership experience to remove complexity and stress. A set of ancillary services solve the complexities of yacht ownership for a busy generation. Benetti’s Peace of Mind program is a one-stopplatform that protects a yacht’s long-term value through preventive maintenance, extended warranty and a dedicated crew academy. The “brain” of B.Neos is an AI-driven database that shares live operational data with Benetti, to ensure smooth running no matter where on the globe the yacht is cruising.
Through Yachtique, the Group’s interior design and lifestyle division, Benetti provides a turnkey solution from interior setup to accessories, and from onboard equipment to lifestyle details. The yacht is delivered fully prepared – from linens and tableware to lifestyle accessories and water toys. All of this comes together in Yacht as a Service (YaaS): a fiveyear, fully managed ownership model that integrates yacht and services into one seamless solution.
