Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 8.6m beam and a 2.61m draft. The yacht is built over 4 decks with an internal volume of 431 GT (Gross Tonnes).
This was the first yacht built on the B.Yond 37M design. Launched in June 2022 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was completed at Benetti's Livorno yard in Italy where she was commissioned and delivered to her owners in August 2022.
Exterior Design
The exterior design of the Never Say Never Again yacht emphasizes functionality and efficient use of space. At 37 meters, its design cleverly maximizes volume, achieving a gross tonnage that rivals larger yachts. The yacht features a robust steel hull combined with an aluminum superstructure, providing strength and durability.
Never Say Never Again is equipped with four decks, offering a variety of outdoor and indoor living areas. The main deck is notable for housing the tender garage, which is semi-open and bright, allowing for easy access and deployment of water toys from either side of the yacht. This practical design element enhances the overall utility of the vessel.
The upper deck includes a half-cockpit area that blends relaxed seating with dining facilities, seamlessly flowing into an interior space with unbroken views to the foredeck. This design provides a practical and comfortable area for entertaining guests, featuring a bar and a blend of inside and outside spaces.
The yacht’s sundeck is accessible only from inside, ensuring privacy. It offers a spacious area for relaxation, complete with ample seating, a large bar, and dining arrangements. The sundeck's layout is straightforward and functional, providing a pleasant environment for socializing at sea.
Interior Design
Upon entering the main saloon, the abundance of natural light is immediately apparent, with massive windows framing breathtaking views of the sea. The decor, characterized by a "very simple box" concept as highlighted by project manager Costanza Gnemmi, ensures that while the design is simple, it is far from basic. This approach allows the richness of the yacht to shine through the high-level brand furniture and carefully chosen objets d'art.
The furniture selection, prominently featuring pieces by Giorgetti, contributes to the relaxed and luxurious atmosphere of Never Say Never Again. The brand is renowned for its timeless designs and exceptional craftsmanship, which aligns perfectly with the yacht’s ethos of enduring quality and understated luxury. Each piece invites relaxation and complements the serene environment, encouraging guests to unwind and enjoy the seascape.
The full-beam "playroom" on the main deck is another example of the yacht's thoughtful design. This comfortable space serves as an informal hub for entertainment or relaxation, ideally suited for family gatherings or as a retreat for younger guests.
Ascending the central staircase to the upper deck, one discovers the main social hub of the yacht. The open-plan layout integrates interior and exterior dining areas seamlessly, creating a convivial atmosphere for guests to mingle and dine. The upper deck saloon, with its expansive views, is the perfect setting for socializing or simply enjoying the serene environment onboard.
The pared-back styling of the interiors by Mauro Izzo allows for a high degree of customization, enabling future owners of Never Say Never Again to tailor the spaces to their preferences while maintaining the yacht's distinctive character of refined simplicity.
Accommodation
The luxury yacht Never Say Never Again is designed to host 10 guests across four guest cabins on the main deck. These cabins are strategically placed to provide a communal area for guests to relax and enjoy time together. Each guest cabin is equipped with private bathrooms and storage space, ensuring privacy and convenience.
The vessel's standout feature is the owner's suite, located on a dedicated deck. The suite includes a spacious bedroom with a double bed positioned next to a large picture window, offering impressive views. An adjoining private terrace provides exclusive outdoor space for the owner. The suite also includes an elegantly designed bathroom with twin sinks, fine marble finishes, and a walk-in wardrobe, ensuring a luxurious stay.
Crew accommodation is efficiently organized to provide seamless service. The crew quarters for up to seven are situated on the lower deck and include a captain's cabin, with all necessary amenities in close proximity to support a high standard of service throughout the yacht.
Performance & Capabilities
Never Say Never Again is powered by Siemens ELFA motors that are expertly coupled with the yacht's main engines. This innovative setup is part of a hybrid system developed in collaboration with Siemens, a testament to Benetti's commitment to marrying luxury with cutting-edge technology.
The power management system (PMS) integrates the operation of the generators and a lithium-ion battery bank, efficiently directing energy to where it's most needed—whether that's for propulsion, hotel load, or the stabilization systems. This smart distribution of power contributes to an optimized performance that is as economical as it is smooth.
With a maximum speed of 14 knots achievable in standard diesel operation, 'Never Say Never Again' delivers on the promise of swift oceanic travel. However, it is the yacht’s E-Modes that truly highlight its versatility and efficiency:
Enhanced Comfort Mode: In this mode, the main engines are dormant while the diesel generators power the electric motors. The yacht can cruise at a comfortable seven knots, ideal for serene night passages or precise maneuvering. This mode emphasizes quiet operation with minimal noise and vibration.
Extended Range Mode: This mode sees the generators offline, with the diesel engines energizing the electric motors to achieve a cruising speed of 12 knots. The navigation and hotel loads are managed by the electric motors, with the battery bank absorbing any peak demands. This mode is designed for long-distance travel, offering significant fuel savings and reduced generator usage.
Eco Transfer Mode: Operating on a single diesel engine, this mode propels 'Never Say Never Again' to a speed of nine knots. It's particularly suited for repositioning the yacht, extending the lifespan of the main engines and generators by alternating their use. The batteries stand by to manage any peak loads.
Eco Cruise Mode: For the environmentally conscious, this zero-emission mode runs purely on the yacht's battery bank. 'Never Say Never Again' can glide silently at five knots for up to 30 minutes, offering a truly tranquil cruising experience.
Beyond propulsion, Never Say Never Again is designed to ensure stability and comfort on the water. Its generous beam of 8.6 meters not only contributes to the yacht's spaciousness but also enhances its natural stability. This, combined with the latest stabilization technology, ensures a smooth and steady experience, whether at full speed or while anchored in a secluded bay.
With the option to increase battery capacity, owners of Never Say Never Again can opt for even longer periods of silent operation, underlining Benetti's foresight in creating a yacht that is as future-proof as it is luxurious.
Amenities
A gym with all the latest equipment allows her guests to keep their workout routines while at sea. The yacht can house plenty of nautical toys and accessories, with a well-appointed tender garage for storing her impressive locker. Never Say Never Again also features an inviting spread of sunpads.
