When Benetti unveiled the OASIS 40M, it swiftly earned acclaim, emerging as a finalist in the Best Flybridge Yacht (above 110ft) category at the Asia Boating Awards 2019. Following this success, it clinched victory in the Best Layout (30-50m) category at the World Yachts Trophies 2020.
When YachtBuyer first reviewed this model, in 2021, we were impressed by the groundbreaking Oasis Deck design. A revolutionary concept that transforms the yacht's stern into an expansive open-air lounge, the Oasis Deck design likely played a pivotal role in the judge's decision.
This fluid design establishes an uninterrupted connection between the main salon and the sea, providing guests with a profound sense of freedom and interaction with the ocean. Crafted by the renowned design firm RWD, the yacht's exterior exudes a modern elegance that is sophisticated and destined to stand the test of time.
Inside, the Oasis 40M's interiors are a testament to relaxed luxury and informal comfort. The New York-based design firm Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, in its first foray into the yachting world, has crafted an interior reminiscent of an upscale open-space loft. With chic and minimalist elegance at the forefront, the yacht's living spaces invite guests to unwind in an environment that perfectly balances sophistication with a homely touch.
The Benetti Oasis 40M measures a notable 40.8m (134ft) in length overall, with a maximum beam of 8.5m (28ft) and a draft of 2.1m (7ft). These dimensions offer ample room for luxurious accommodations and entertainment. The yacht accommodates ten guests in five suites, with the owner's suite being a spacious full-beam retreat featuring seating areas, a well-appointed bathroom with a bathtub, and a sizable dressing area. A capable crew of eight is onboard to attend to the yacht and guest needs.
On the upper deck, a sky lounge awaits, perfect for entertaining guests into the night, while an aft lounge provides an inviting space for evenings in ports. The tender garage, positioned on a perpendicular axis to the yacht, not only offers practicality for tender storage but also enhances soundproofing between the engine room and the guests' accommodations.
A complete beach club, offering abundant lounging space, a sizable pool, and fold-out balconies, provides an ideal setting for relaxation while at anchor. Transitioning inward, a refined yet modern lounge invites you to explore the interiors, leading to a formal dining area for up to eight guests, conveniently serviced by a bar. Adjacent to the yacht's lobby, a wellness area offers a versatile space suitable for a gym, massage room, or even a dedicated yoga area.
With a top speed of 17 knots and a cruising speed of 16 knots, the OASIS 40M offers a perfect blend of performance and efficiency. Boasting a remarkable maximum cruising range of 4,000 nautical miles at 11 knots, the vessel is equipped with two MAN diesel engines to power its impressive capabilities.
Benetti's storied history is one of pioneering spirit and dedication to craftsmanship. Founded in 1873 by Lorenzo Benetti, the shipyard has been at the forefront of nautical innovation for a century and a half. From the construction of the groundbreaking steel-hulled diesel vessel Maria in 1941 to the creation of the diesel-electric M/Y AMBORSIA III in 2006, Benetti's legacy is one of the firsts in the yacht industry. Now, as part of the Azimut | Benetti Group—formed in 1985 when Paolo Vitelli acquired Benetti—the shipyard continues to lead as the world's most extensive yacht and megayacht network.
