At the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, Benetti introduced the latest jewel in its acclaimed Oasis series: the Oasis 42M. This 42-meter masterpiece continues the shipyard’s philosophy of blending dynamic open living with innovative sustainability, while elevating comfort and design to new heights.
Expansive Outdoor Living
The yacht’s standout feature is its 100-square-meter aft deck, designed as the ultimate hub for relaxation and entertainment. At its heart lies an 8.3-square-meter pool with a retractable enclosure, seamlessly integrating luxury with functionality. The 17.3-meter sundeck is the largest in its class, offering panoramic views, while an additional lounge on the foredeck ensures no shortage of alfresco experiences.
Interiors with a Fresh Perspective
Created in collaboration with bonetti/kozerski architecture, the interiors embody quiet sophistication and versatility. The main deck houses a salon, dining space, galley, and a forward area adaptable as a gym, spa, or cinema, enhanced by a drop-down terrace. The upper deck is reserved for a 50-square-meter owner’s apartment featuring a private 40-square-meter terrace—an exclusive retreat that balances openness with privacy.
Enrico Bonetti explains:
“With the Oasis 42M, we had a chance to evolve the dynamic and fluid lifestyle at sea that defined the Oasis 40M. Unexpected materials, refined details, and open layouts bring a new dimension of relaxed elegance.”
Exterior Design by RWD
Mark Gardner of RWD describes the exterior as an evolution, not a revolution:
“The softer, pebble-like lines give the Oasis 42M a sleek, natural, and timeless appeal.”
The curved forms complement Benetti’s reputation for enduring Italian elegance while ensuring the yacht feels both contemporary and classic.
Engineering for a Greener Tomorrow
Beneath the design lies a data-driven engineering package that significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions. Owners also have the option of a hybrid Siemens E-Mode system, further reinforcing Benetti’s commitment to sustainability. A well-equipped garage houses a 6.25-meter tender alongside a suite of water toys, ensuring adventure is always within reach.
A Legacy of Innovation
Founded in 1873, Benetti remains one of the most storied names in luxury yacht building, crafting bespoke vessels that reflect evolving lifestyles at sea. With the Oasis 42M, the shipyard has not only expanded the Oasis family but also redefined what modern yacht ownership can look like: fluid, sustainable, and supremely elegant.
