From October 25 to 29, 2023, Benetti will be back at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show for the US debut of Ubiquitous, an Oasis 34M with Oasis Deck® that's a distillation of style, elegance and innovation, featuring exteriors penned by RWD and interiors by Bonetti & Kozerski. Alongside this 112-footer at the Superyacht Village, Benetti will be showcasing the B.Yond 37M Never Say Never Again, green Voyager par excellence.
The 63rd Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, running from October 25 to 29, 2023, will see the US debut of Benetti's Ubiquitous, a highly innovative Oasis 34M. This US premiere will be accompanied by Never Say Never Again, the B.Yond 37M designed with total respect for the environment in mind. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is a strategically important event for the Shipyard, creating opportunities to meet American owners and showcase the latest developments in terms of research and design.
Ubiquitous, a 34M Oasis with Oasis Deck®, reveals all its beauty, innovation and exclusiveness for the very first time in the United States. Previously known as Unknown, the 112-footer won prizes at the World Yacht Trophies in 2022 and at the Design and Innovation Awards and the World Superyacht Awards in 2023. The fibreglass Ubiquitous is the result of Benetti's collaboration with renowned British firm RWD for the exterior design and New York architects Bonetti & Kozerski for the interior design.
An invitation to live in close contact with nature, with three decks and a large Sun Deck, Ubiquitous is characterized by a sleek design and a stern area that's even closer to the water. This is the area featuring the Oasis Deck®, the solution designed by Benetti to experience life at sea in an emotionally engaging way. The two wings that open out astern enlarge the deck area and create closer contact with the water. And the infinity pool built into the very heart of the deck has a breathtaking view out to sea, offering owners and guests an unimpeded 270-degree panorama, including from the main deck saloon. The mix of sun and shade lets guests enjoy the experience of total relaxation at any time of day, while the social design weaves the entire deck, from the main saloon to the sea, into a uniquely convivial oasis. An invitation to enjoy an immersive experience surrounded by nature.
For the interiors, Bonetti and Kozerski has created a relaxed and cosy environment in which meticulous attention is paid to the detail, the use of materials and their harmonious collocation. The colour palette of sober pastel shades chosen for all the decks creates a light-filled look and a familiar homely feel.
Alongside the Oasis 34M at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Benetti will also be showcasing Never Say Never Again, the B.Yond 37M created out of the revolutionary vision of Paolo Vitelli, founder of Azimut|Benetti Group, and the creative genius of architect Stefano Righini. This stainless steel Voyager extends across four decks that offer exclusive sea views and is designed with long and comfortable cruises in mind.
The B.Yond 37M is regarded as the greenest model in its class thanks to the innovative E-Mode Hybrid system developed by Siemens Energy. This makes it possible to optimise on-board energy consumption according to specific usage profiles and translates into unprecedented CO2 and NOx emissions reductions for a yacht in this category. It's a solution that offers the freedom of four different operating modes, including the standout Full Electric mode for zero emission navigation, an exclusive plus that allows B.Yond 37M to enter protected marine areas and those normally off-limits to motor yachts. The lithium battery pack also makes it possible to stay at anchor in Hotel Mode with zero emissions, keeping the generators switched off and running the main on-board utilities from the batteries. This translates into time spent at anchor in harmony with nature, immersed in vibration-free silence.
Benetti will be at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from October 25 to 29 in the Superyacht Village, Pier 66, Stand SYV, Tent #14
