Benetti BYOND 40

In honour of its 150th anniversary, Italian shipyard Benetti has presented a new 40-metre limited edition of its successful B.Yond line. The Limited Edition Voyager will be available to purchase in a 12-month window and will bear most of the same hallmarks as the original B.Yond line, including a long  8,200-nautical-mile range at nine knots and ample interior volume

Highlights of the Voyager model include an aft deck with a glass-bottomed infinity pool laid out transversely and stretching out over almost eight square metres. There is a seating area with coffee tables and C-shaped seating immediately forward, and the entire space spans 80 square metres and is flanked by glass railings with teak handrails.

The yacht has a five-cabin arrangement with four large cabins on the main deck plus a full-beam master suite. On this deck, a  garage can also accommodate two Jet Skis, a 6.5-metre tender and a rescue boat. Meanwhile, the lower deck has five cabins for crew, including captains’ quarters, and an additional cabin that can be replaced by a gym, a cabin with a bathroom, or a wellness area equipped with a steam bath or sauna.

There is an alternative al afresco lounge area on the upper deck aft, which features an enclosed Hampton-style veranda fitted with audio and video systems with the wheelhouse area found forward. Crowning the model is a sundeck with a bar and a comfortable outdoor dining area with a table, all shaded by the hard top, plus an additional sunbathing area.
