Benetti B.Yond 40M

Twelve guests across five cabins is the working arrangement aboard Benetti B.Yond 40M. Benetti is completing her in Italy for delivery in 2028, a 40-metre steel displacement yacht. The layout is built around that guest-to-crew ratio rather than around maximising berths.

Build and provenance

Benetti B.Yond 40M is a new build, a steel monohull measuring 40 metres, or 130 feet, with a beam of 8.6 metres and a draught of 2.7 metres, rated at 480 gross tons. Lobanov Design drew the exterior and Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture designed the interior.

Layout and accommodation

Five cabins sleep the twelve guests. The gross tonnage gives those cabins room to breathe rather than being packed in tight for the length.

Performance and engineering

Two MAN V12 engines, rated at 1,450 hp each, give her a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 14 knots, figures suited to steady passages rather than short bursts of speed. Her range of 5,000 nautical miles is enough to cross an ocean without a stop to refuel along the way.

Where she lies and how to see her

Benetti is building her in Italy, on course for delivery in 2028. A viewing can be arranged through Boatcrowd at any stage of the build, with someone from our side present throughout, and a survey and sea trial follow once an offer has been accepted.
