The Italian builder's display will feature the Oasis 34m Aitana, the Oasis 40m Lady Sarah and the hybrid-powered B.Yond 37M Jules. Together, the yachts illustrate how Benetti continues to develop individual owner-focused projects while expanding its range of design and propulsion options.
Three Models, Three Different Approaches
Although each yacht targets a different style of owner, all three share Benetti's established design philosophy of pairing recognizable exterior styling with extensive opportunities for customization.
The exhibition also demonstrates how the yard is evolving across multiple areas simultaneously. While the Oasis models place increasing emphasis on interior personalization and outdoor living, the B.Yond platform continues Benetti's investment in long-range cruising supported by hybrid technology.
Visitors to the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 will have the opportunity to compare these different approaches side by side during the six-day show.
Aitana: A Personalized Take on the Oasis 34M
Among the most personalised motor yachts on display will be the Benetti Oasis 34M Aitana, which places art and custom interior detailing at the centre of the owner's brief.
Her exterior design comes from British studio RWD, while the interior architecture was created by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture. Interior styling was developed alongside designer Ana Torres and Benetti's in-house design team to create a highly individualized onboard environment.
Throughout the yacht, artwork, sculptures and bespoke furnishings have been integrated into the overall design rather than treated as decorative additions. Guest accommodations feature fabric-covered walls and Hermès leather headboards, while the owner's suite includes custom-designed furniture created specifically for the project.
Lady Sarah: A Material-Led Oasis 40M
The larger Benetti Oasis 40M Lady Sarah takes a different approach, concentrating on refined materials and a calmer interior aesthetic. Like Aitana, the yacht pairs an exterior designed by RWD with interior architecture from Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture. Interior styling, however, was developed by Leonardo Santi Design, giving the project its own character.
Natural wood finishes and carefully selected marble feature throughout the interior, creating a warm, contemporary atmosphere across the main living spaces. Custom detailing extends to several bespoke elements, including a main deck bar cabinet incorporating laminated glass and integrated fabric panels.
Jules: Hybrid Cruising with the B.Yond 37M
Completing the lineup is the 37-meter Benetti B.Yond Jules, which highlights Benetti's continued development of hybrid propulsion and long-range cruising capabilities. Designed by the late Stefano Righini, the B.Yond series was conceived around what Benetti describes as its Voyager concept - creating yachts intended for extended cruising with greater operational efficiency and flexible onboard layouts.
One of the defining features of Jules is its hybrid propulsion system, which supports quieter operation and improved energy management compared with conventional propulsion arrangements.
The yacht also introduces one of the B.Yond family's most distinctive layout options by dedicating the entire upper deck to the owner's suite. This arrangement creates a private deck reserved exclusively for the owner while freeing additional guest accommodation elsewhere on board.
Benetti at Cannes 2026
The shipyard's display will be located in Vieux Port at Jetée 200, where visitors will be able to tour the three yachts and explore Benetti's latest developments in yacht design, customization and hybrid technology.
