Italian shipyard Benetti has revealed the sale of the inaugural B.Yond 57M, with the contract being signed mere weeks after the model's debut at the Monaco Yacht Show. The B.Yond 57M stands as the largest hybrid vessel in the B.Yond series, showcasing exterior designs by Igor Lobanov and interior layouts by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture. Three distinct stern configurations are offered – labeled 'Beach', 'Air', and 'Water' – with the initial unit's owner opting for the Beach configuration.
Central to this configuration is a 161.8-square-metre beach area, complemented by a 15-square-metre pool, featuring a sliding sofa system that transforms the space into a lounge. The beach area is seamlessly connected to a convertible garage deck, which morphs into a 260-square-metre indoor-outdoor lounge when the water toys are deployed. An 'innovative' interior design places guest areas on the main deck and the main saloon on the upper deck, facilitating 'memorable panoramic views' through floor-to-ceiling windows and creating a 22-metre, uninterrupted open space from bow to stern. Eco-conscious interior fittings, including FSC-certified woods, sustainable fabrics, leathers, and stones, are also featured.
'We are thrilled to announce the sale of the first B.Yond 57M unit, reflecting the market's enthusiastic response to our new projects unveiled at our September press conference. We are delighted to embark on this new journey with our client,' stated Daniela Petrozzi, Sales Director at Benetti.
This new model furthers Benetti's pledge to achieve zero emissions by 2030, equipped with a hybrid-electric system for emission-free cruising and a direct expansion HVAC system that reduces consumption by up to 80% compared to traditional water systems. The Monaco Yacht Show also marked the unveiling of Benetti's new B.Loft range, aiming to 'revolutionize' the onboard experience with four-metre high ceilings inspired by urban residential spaces.
