The 2023 edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival, taking place from September 12th to 17th, marks the presence of the historic shipyard during its 150th-anniversary year.
At the Cannes Yachting Festival, which kicks off the 2023-2024 yachting season, Benetti will exhibit the M/Y "Alluria," a motor yacht characterized by gentle and modern elegance, alongside the M/Y "Opus" and M/Y "Oreos," both belonging to the Oasis family, designed for a closer connection to the sea.
In its 150th-anniversary year, a milestone in the shipyard's history, Benetti returns to the Croisette for the Cannes Yachting Festival to showcase the identity of cultural heritage and Italian excellence. The exhibition in Cannes will feature some of the models that best reflect the innovative and elegant spirit of the brand: the 37M, Oasis 34M, and Oasis 40M.
MOTOPANFILO 37M M/Y "ALLURIA"
M/Y "Alluria" is the fifth unit of the Motopanfilo 37M model, a yacht that captures the essence of boats from the 1960s while infusing a modern twist. The exterior design, conceived by Francesco Struglia in collaboration with Benetti, takes inspiration from the shapes and style of that era, blending the hull and superstructure into a harmonious and unique element, creating an image of exceptional elegance and balance.
The interior, designed by the architectural firm Lazzarini Pickering Architetti, offers modern technical and stylistic solutions to meet the needs of contemporary owners. The interior is shaped by Loro Piana Interiors, characterized by timeless elegance and materials synonymous with summer and the sea, including linen in shades of white, blue, and malachite.
As a testament to Benetti's commitment to environmental protection, M/Y "Alluria" is equipped with an SCR system that reduces NOx emissions, thus reducing its ecological impact.
OASIS 34M M/Y "OPUS"
In addition to the Motopanfilo 37M, the M/Y "Opus," the sixth unit in the Oasis 34M line, will be showcased. Oasis is a family of yachts that best expresses Benetti's innovative spirit, with the Oasis Deck® solution allowing direct connection between interior spaces and the beach area for an even closer connection to the sea. With exterior design by the British studio RWD and interior designed by the New York architectural firm Bonetti & Kozerski, M/Y "Opus" represents a concept with strong innovative potential that fully meets the needs of today's owners who choose to live in close contact with nature and the sea.
OASIS 40M M/Y "OREOS"
Benetti will also present M/Y "Oreos," a 40-meter yacht designed for clients with a dynamic and informal lifestyle. This yacht is a chic oasis of well-being that provides authentic and uninterrupted contact with the surroundings, with complete independence. A special feature of this model, in addition to the characteristic Oasis Deck® system, is the Sun Deck. This conventional area is divided into a relaxation area, an outdoor dining area, and a lounge bar with the addition of high doors between the dining area and lounge bar. This is a functional wind protection element during cruising, making the journey even more comfortable.
