Benetti B.Neos 40M (Новая – 2028)

The brand-new 133’ BENETTI B.NEOS 40M hybrid Superyacht for sale introduces a smarter way of life where evolved simplicity, technological innovation and silent cruising come together to meet the desires of contemporary Owners.

The name B.NEOS is derived from the Greek word “néos”, meaning “new, young and fresh”. Positioned as a “refined, forward-thinking vision of life at sea”, the yacht combines purposeful yet simplistic design with hybrid propulsion as a standard – embodying Benetti’s ambition to attract a new generation of Owners.

The concept’s exterior was penned by UK-based Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design (a studio best known for its sailing yacht projects), with a plumb bow, low-profile superstructure, expansive glazing and overhanging aft decks, with the balanced proportions of a sailing yacht. Benetti & MMYD chose proportion over volume and used technology to eliminate redundancy. The result is a yacht inspired by the intelligence of sailing – with a sleek, low-profile silhouette and a perfect balance. It is informal in spirit and authentic in its connection to the water, yet unmistakably a Benetti in presence and status.”

Francesca Muzio of Italian studio FM Architettura is responsible for the interiors, which the shipyard describes as being designed to feel “personal rather than monumental”. As a result, the design favours a warm and tactile scheme with a “lived-in” and more relaxed approach chosen over “formal perfection”.

Offered as a standard and not an optional add-on, the model’s hybrid technology system has been carefully curated to transform the experience onboard: reducing noise, vibrations and exhaust fumes for a quiet and calm setting both at anchor and underway.

Enabling this is an integrated system based on twin MAN V8-800 engines. It offers several operating modes: zero-emission and hotel mode for silent electric power; diesel-electric and crossover for optimised fuel efficiency; and a “boost” mode for instant torque and easy manoeuvring. Efficiency is also enhanced by a purpose-driven technical ecosystem, which the yard notes contributes to a 30 per cent reduction in energy consumption compared to a vessel of the same size. The implemented hybrid system also eliminates the need for future upgrades and allows for a compact engine room.

Advanced technology underpins a fully integrated ecosystem on board, featuring home automation, ultra-fast connectivity, and smart management tools powered by Artificial Intelligence.

The 296 GT of interior volume on board has been designed to offer a close connection with both nature and people through a fluid and “uncomplicated” layout. The main deck is a prime example, where a long, lazy aft pool area flows effortlessly into a “Sea Atrium” – a light-filled 2.4-metre-high space enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass walls, curated as a reimagination of the beach club.

Heading inside on the same deck, there is an open, family-style kitchen conceived as the social heart of the yacht. Here, meals can be shared intimately and informally with family without the constant presence of crew, though the galley area can be separated with a sliding glass partition for formal dining if desired

The presence of the wheelhouse forward on the main deck opens up the upper deck to serve as a private owner’s area with a forward apartment and 270-degree panoramic views – something more typically found on yachts of 60 metres plus, according to the yard. Stairs lead upwards to the observation deck, fitted with a large and inviting sunpad.

Born for Peace of Mind, the BENETTI B.NEOS 40M ensures true luxury through control without complexity, supported by a comprehensive turnkey service solution to protect the yacht’s long-term value.
