At just under 500 GT, the new Benetti yacht builds on the appeal of the Oasis Deck® concept while refining circulation, increasing outdoor living areas, and preparing the platform for future propulsion technologies.
From the B.Now 50M Oasis to the B.Now 52M: An Evolution in Scale
The B.Now 52M represents a 1.5-meter extension of the Benetti B.Now 50M Oasis platform, a seemingly modest adjustment that unlocks significant lifestyle benefits. The aft decks have been expanded by around 20 percent, and the pool enlarged by roughly 15 percent, with the option of a sliding cover that creates a flush terrace for evening dining or events. By redistributing volume fore and aft, Benetti has kept tonnage capped below 500 GT, ensuring continuity with the 50M in classification and compliance.
The extra length also delivers a taller garage and more flexible interior pathways, while circulation has been reworked so that crew can move around the yacht via side routes rather than aft staircases, improving privacy for guests. Together these refinements create a yacht that feels both larger and more efficient without altering its operational profile.
Enlarged Oasis Deck Defines the Exterior
The Oasis Deck® defines the B.Now 52M. Conceived as an expansive open-air stage, it offers a flush connection to the sea, now with more space for entertainment, relaxation, and dining. A 12-seat table and enlarged pool establish the aft as a full day-to-night zone.
Stylistically, the exterior design by RWD is more sculptural and fluid than its predecessor. Enlarged hull glazing emphasizes light and openness, while refined fashion plates and lowered bulwarks amplify the bond with the sea.
With a beam of 9.0 meters and a draft of 2.6 meters, the superyacht carries deliberate proportions that balance elegance with functionality.
Flexible Layouts and Tailored Interiors by Valentina Zannier
Inside, Benetti has emphasized flexibility and flow. The forward section of the main deck, traditionally reserved for tender storage, can now transform into a wellness terrace or gym once equipment is deployed. This space, with two-meter head height, connects directly to the main saloon or to a forward master suite if selected.
The main saloon on board the motor yacht itself benefits from structural refinements: ventilation trunks have been relocated, the galley shifted to the lower deck, and floor-to-ceiling glazing now frames open sea views. These changes give the impression of greater volume while enhancing usability.
Interior design has been entrusted to architect Valentina Zannier. Her approach emphasizes architectural clarity and material continuity between interior and exterior, marking a stylistic departure from earlier B.Now interiors.
Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests across six cabins. The core layout retains four guest cabins on the lower deck, complemented by flexible options for the master suite. Owners may choose a full-beam suite forward on the main deck with direct access to the garage terrace, or an upper-deck suite opening to a private aft terrace. Crew quarters comprise six cabins for 10 staff, supported by discreet passageways that allow service without disturbing guest spaces.
Sub-500 GT Platform With Long-Range Cruising
Despite its greater length, the B.Now 52M retains a gross tonnage of 499 GT. Engineering refinements include a slightly larger engine room, a garage with increased headroom capable of stowing a 7-meter tender, and space provisioned for future hybrid battery storage.
Propulsion is delivered by two MAN V12 engines, supporting a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 10 knots. Upgraded technical systems include a more efficient air-conditioning setup and a higher standard specification package, with several features that were optional on the 50M now integrated as standard. Crew complement remains consistent with the 50M, maintaining stable operational costs while expanding guest amenities.
With its debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025, the B.Now 52M Oasis stands as a refinement of a proven platform. By enlarging terraces, enhancing circulation, and preparing for hybrid propulsion, Benetti has addressed owner feedback on the 50M while ensuring the model remains relevant to charter, private use, and upcoming energy standards. For prospective owners, it offers a larger, more flexible interpretation of the Oasis lifestyle without breaking the critical 500 GT threshold.
