With a last hour decision, Benetti returns to the Genoa Boat Show from October 1 to 6, where it will be showing for the first time Oasis 40M, the revolutionary yacht with exterior lines by UK firm RWD and sophisticated interiors by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture in New York. In its 40 metres, Oasis 40M offers a new take on the concept of a lifestyle yacht. The exteriors show the beach house as an elegant lounge on the biggest pool ever, the sea. The interiors' glamorous soul welcomes guests into spacious interiors that feature an elegant and sophisticated design.
As soon as obtained approval from the Owner, Benetti didn't think twice and thanks to the support of the organizers, the shipyard decides to take Oasis 40M to the Genoa Boat Show 2020 from October 1 to 6. This is the best way to present the first unit of Oasis 40M, the newest and most innovative yacht presented by Benetti with a glam soul as flagship of the boat show. Recently delivered to American owner Tim Ciasulli, represented by US broker Merle Wood & Associates, Oasis 40M was given its debut to a restricted audience of lucky friends at the Azimut|Benetti Group annual press conference, set against the evocative backdrop of Portofino, but the yachts offical debut will be in Genoa.
Oasis 40M is a revolutionary 40-metre with a 385 GT and is made entirely of fibreglass. Addressing a modern clientele with a dynamic and casual lifestyle, the Oasis 40M has the look of an adventurous yacht but at the same time it shows an unexpectedly glamorous side that reveals an oasis inspired by the idea of well-being and total independence from the rest of the world. RWD's UK designers, who worked on the project with Benetti, created a beach area that's never been seen before in the category, with a one-of-a-kind pool for yachts this size, appropriately called the Infinity Pool. Just a few steps from the sea, it is set in a big space clad entirely in teak, with side wings that open out to extend the floor space, turning the beach area into a huge lounge and terrace overlooking the water and designed to experience the life at sea in a completely new way. No longer an area that makes use of what space is available, as is the case on traditional yachts sold on the market, but an area designed precisely to experience the sea at any time and as intimately as possible, unimpeded by the tender and water toys (hidden away in the side and forward garages), and so always perfectly ready for use.
Another bonus in design, construction and engineering of Oasis 40M is the wheelhouse that represents one of the most important innovations. Designed as a multifunctional space, it's not just a helm station but a new area where Captain, Owner and guest can enjoy the cruise and decide the course from new a new point of view. Thanks to a futuristically designed steering position with a panoramic view, the space can accommodate six people all seated. This space also features full-height windows and huge spaces, making a comfortable area for guests.
The exterior lines designed by the famous UK firm RWD are a perfect synthesis of Italian elegance and classic British lines, thanks to which guests can enjoy an unprecedented atmosphere of freedom and intense intimacy with the sea. The interiors - exuding relaxed and informal comfort - were designed by the New York firm Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, whose elegant and minimalist projects include Ian Schrager's boutique hotel, Donna Karan showrooms and the Pace Gallery in New York.
The Main and Upper Deck have large windows enabling natural light to be used as a design element. This characteristic and the unconventional layout of the spacious interiors are intended to underscore a desire for symbiosis with nature.
The three external decks are designed to guarantee a strong sense of continuity between exterior and interior spaces thanks to the prevalent use of pale materials and colours.
The yacht has 4 decks with 5 cabins for 10 guests and 4 cabins for 7 crew members included the comfy Captain's cabin located on the Upper Deck close to the wheelhouse. Equipped with two MAN V12, Oasis 40M is a yacht for owners who are not in a rush and want to enjoy the cruise.
Featuring an excellent hull efficiency supplemented by a vertical bow, the yacht's top speed is 18 knots. At 11 knots it consumes just over 100 l/h, with a range greater than the necessary to cross the Atlantic.
Benetti will be at the Genoa Boat Show (1 - 6 October 2020) - stand H107 Marina Ormeggi, Banchina H.
