Benetti presents B.Neos. The name comes from the Greek word néos, meaning "new, young and fresh." A term that reflects Benetti's innovative spirit that focuses on a new generation of owners: a new philosophy, a smart yacht, technological, unconventional, that redefines the traditional codes of megayachts.

Instead of the relentless pursuit of volume, B.Neos offers an intelligent distribution of space, designed for an owner who rejects the superfluous in favor of a more direct and functional experience, where technology makes it possible to enjoy silence thanks to standard hybrid propulsion.

The new motor yacht is designed for those who embrace the essential as a way of life at sea, seeking elegance and understated luxury combined with efficient design and a renewed appreciation of authenticity as the truest form of exclusivity.

"B.Neos represents a new approach that looks ahead," says Giovanna Vitelli, Chair of the Azimut|Benetti Group. "We chose a leading designer from the sailing segment to bring the sleek proportions of sailing yachts to a motor yacht, avoiding the pursuit of volume at any cost. From sailing, B.Neos also inherits the pleasure of silence at anchor, made possible by hybrid technology and an essential approach to interiors, distinct from the redundant opulence seen oftentimes in certain yachting segments".
