Yacht Class n°43 (Dec-Jan-Feb 2026)

Azimut-Benetti Group

Being ready to meet and exceed all expectations, both inside and out, while preserving the owner’s privacy, is the challenge brilliantly met by the Benetti B.Now 67M Oasis Deck Lady Estey. From her depths to her eagle’s nest, perfection is at the service of refined design. Superb.

With her impressive length and towering superstructures, it goes without saying that the Benetti B.Now 67M does not go unnoticed, even in the heart of Port Hercule during the Monaco Yacht Show. The second largest yacht in the B.Now range that spans from 72 to 52 metres, she features the Oasis Deck configuration which, as its name suggests, consists primarily of a generous beach club, but also makes optimal use of living spaces, both open-air and sheltered. All these features are contained within a single unit which, thanks to the talent of British design agency RWD, manages to retain a dynamic and light silhouette, particularly due to this oversized stern. For once, it is not sheltered under the upper deck, as the desire to make it an oasis dedicated to the pleasures of relaxation and water activities prevails, with other areas offering protection and shade.

A 22 m² swimming pool at the stern

Let’s set sail and discover this most appealing world. This “Oasis Deck” impresses and charms as soon as you set foot on the huge rear platform, which extends into the water via a retractable staircase. Take one of the two flights of steps on either side of the 22 m² pool – and you reach an outdoor lounge generously equipped with benches, sofas and coffee tables. Below this area, sports and wellness enthusiasts will find a gym, a massage room, a sauna and a Hamman. Imagine approaching on a tender at night with all the lights on: the effect is breathtaking. Then there is the large opening onto the interior spaces… which could almost be mistaken for the exterior, such is the size of the windows and the brilliance and reflectivity of the materials used. The atmosphere created by the Sinot agency – a “Great Gatsby” effect enhanced by a piano in the lounge – is intended to be high-end, chic and contrasting, with a very marked opposition between black and white. The wood species combine macassar, a variety of ebony, and sycamore, which is light and delicate.

The upper deck reserved for the shipowner

The entire main deck, which features six guest cabins and four bathrooms – it should be noted that they are not on the lower deck as is often the case – follows this principle, right down to the black marble with light veins. At the heart of this deck, a staircase and lift serve the different levels: the design of this “spine” in glass, metal and marble is a work of art in itself. Furthermore, the whole area, like the passageways, is wide enough for wheelchair access and the elements are removable for easy maintenance. It allows us to discover the upper deck, which is entirely reserved for the owner and his family. The owner’s cabin is located towards the bow and, with its high arched windows, offers a panoramic view of the sea. From there, it is possible to go to the private foredeck and enjoy benches, sun loungers and a circular Jacuzzi, all of which can be shaded by large canopies. Further aft, an office also benefits from the panorama, as does the living room with its sumptuous central chandelier and the aft terrace with a lounge and table for ten guests. In addition, it provides two dressing rooms and two bathrooms, one in white for the lady of the house and the other in black for the gentleman. With only one access point from the interior, these spaces are completely private.

4,500 miles of autonomy in comfort

While climbing another level, the passengers discover the sundeck. If the front part is assigned to the wheelhouse, with a carbon dashboard adjacent to the captain’s cabin, the rear volumes are occupied by a bar, a lounge, a table for ten or more people and deckchairs. Finally, for those curious about heights, a sort of eagle’s nest called the observation deck sits atop this Benetti B.Now 67M, offering intrepid visitors a solarium and another Jacuzzi. An unforgettable experience for a breathtaking view. To finish this interesting visit, a little tour of the lower deck is necessary. It houses a professional kitchen near the mess for the crew, which can reach nineteen members housed in ten cabins, and a garage accommodating two tenders and nautical toys. We discover a final level plunging into the bowels of the yacht, where a laundry room with no fewer than twelve washing machines and the engine room are nestled. Everything is therefore in place for paradisiacal cruises, especially since with her double Caterpillar diesel engine, the range reaches 4,500 miles at 12 knots. So, why wait to discover what is hidden on the other side of the horizon?
