Big Features, Smaller Package: the Benetti B.Yond 37M

• By Diane M. Byrne
• June 9, 2023

Space is usually the reason that owners step up to a larger superyacht—say, a length overall of 197 feet or more. On those yachts, there are easily enough staterooms to accommodate up to 10 family members and friends; there are several lounging areas inside and out, spread across a few decks; and there is enough room for a party or for privacy. Getting all this in a yacht of less than 500 gross tons, which typically caps around 164 feet long, is just not possible.

Paolo Vitelli, president of the Azimut-Benetti Group, was convinced there’s a way. Not only that, but he believed yachtsmen would like a semicustom series with a steel hull, long range, volume rivaling much bigger boats, and four decks. He was thinking in ways yachtsmen hadn’t seen: Steel alone is a radical departure from the norm in this size range. Four decks are unheard of too.

He was right. The 121-foot Benetti B.Yond 37M landed about a dozen contracts before Hull No. 1, Goga , appeared at international yacht shows in 2022. As of January, the next available delivery date is in 2027.

Increasingly, yacht buyers are realizing that volume dictates how roomy a project will look and feel. To that end, the Benetti B.Yond 37M has a volume just shy of 400 gross tons. Strong-selling American- and European-built series yachts, even those that are 10 to 20 feet longer, are unable to rival that volume.

Of course, long-standing physical dimensions remain important. Each of the four decks aboard the new Benetti is a healthy length. This includes the partially sheltered sun deck, which is a full-fledged deck for up to 12 people. With a barbecue, a dining area, a seating area and pedestal observation chairs, Goga’s sun deck even has windows inset into the hardtop’s sides.

Benetti further sidesteps convention with the yacht’s 28-foot beam and an anything-but-cookie-cutter general arrangement. As much as series builders and designers say clients can arrange rooms as they see fit, inevitably, they suggest that the staterooms go belowdecks while the salon and dining area sit on the main deck. Even for yachts with main-deck master staterooms, conventional layouts still dominate. By contrast, the standard configuration for the Benetti B.Yond 37M places four guest staterooms and the master on the main deck. The lower deck is entirely for seven or eight crewmembers and all service areas.

More surprisingly, though, Goga follows an alternate arrangement, which Vitelli personally selected, since he intended to cruise aboard (and did for a month with his family). The master stateroom is on the bridge deck, with sliding-glass doors to an alfresco dining and sunning area. In the forward main-deck space where the master otherwise would have been are two guest staterooms. Just abaft them, there’s a playroom. In the not-too-distant past, a dedicated rumpus room would have been unthinkable, especially aboard a yacht of Goga’s dimensions. Perhaps in a sign of the times, nine of the contracts signed so far include the playroom. Owners can also fashion the space as a media room.

The B.Yond 37M also has an open-air toy “garage” four steps down from the main deck aft. The main deck has neither a traditional aft-deck leisure area nor sliding doors leading into a main salon; instead, the main lounge is one deck up, offering better views and freeing more deck space for toy stowage. If you’re wondering why the toys aren’t stowed below, in a garage, it’s because the yacht has a beach club with a sauna down there—once again providing owners and guests with leisure areas not found on comparable-length yachts. The toys launch to either side via fold-down bulkheads.

Finally, the bigger thinking extends to the propulsion package. Goga has a diesel-electric system with lithium-ion batteries created in collaboration with Siemens Energy, allowing four operational modes. Enhanced Comfort Mode is for low-speed coastal trips or nighttime cruising, with just the gensets and electric motors engaged. Extended Range Mode uses the main MANs powering the electric motors for full-speed, 14-knot trips. Eco Transfer Mode sees one MAN running solo, which Benetti says lets the yacht cruise up to 8,200 nautical miles at 9 knots. Eco Cruise Mode is a zero-emissions operation in which the battery pack’s capacity determines the potential range for short excursions.

Based on an average yearly 1,000 hours of use, with 400 hours spent cruising and the rest at anchor, Benetti says the system reduces carbon-dioxide emissions by up to 24 percent and nitrous-oxide emissions by up to 85 percent.

With the Benetti B.Yond 37M, Vitelli really did prove that it’s possible to get much more in a smaller length overall.

The Legacy of Stefano Righini

The Benetti B.Yond series is among the last projects designed by Stefano Righini, who died in October 2021. Righini’s pen strokes characterize the looks of nearly every Azimut and Benetti yacht currently afloat too. In total, approximately 6,000 of the brands’ yachts bear his signature.

Capable Compact Cruiser

With a reported range of 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots, the B.Yond 37M encourages owners to cruise farther and stay independent of shore longer. The yacht has the capabilities of a larger, full-displacement build in a size that’s better for small coves and many more marinas. 

Because of the B.Yond 37M’s volume and deck arrangements, the crew gets more space for amenities and operations. They have a mess opposite the belowdecks galley, and a laundry area. They also have their own stairway, independent of the guests’ stairs, and a dumbwaiter connecting all decks.

Boat of the Week: This New Convention-Defying 131-Footer Is Like the Goldilocks of Superyachts

The four-deck, wide-beam design seems counterintuitive for a superyacht its size. but the first benetti 37m b.yond makes perfect sense when you get inside., michael verdon, michael verdon's most recent stories, this new 72-foot yacht’s new hybrid propulsion system is the first of its kind.

Designing your own yacht sounds like the ultimate indulgence for the head of any shipyard. Especially during a time of record demand, when customers are clamoring for any new boat they can get.

But it also had to be able to accommodate a large group of friends or family, with more staterooms than any yacht its size. Vitelli also liked the idea of a separate owner’s deck offering exceptional views of the water, both from the stateroom and outer decks. The boat also had to feel relaxed, without the usual formal dining room and other stuffy interior spaces that define many yachts over 130 feet. Finally, it would require hybrid diesel-electric propulsion, not just for sustainability, but for being able to cruise waters restricted to electric-only mode.

Vitelli’s answer, the first 121-foot 37M B.YOND, was launched at the Cannes Yachting Festival, but we had a chance to tour it last month after the Ft. Lauderdale show. First impressions: It has a Frankenboat look, with a vertical bow at the front of the steel hull, four tiered decks rising high over the water, and an open stern. It looked like a lot of mini-explorers that have emerged in the last four years, but a bit more square-edged and commercial, and with the steel hull—extremely rare on a boat this size—downright intrepid.

The yacht defies convention, packing as many features into the hull—thanks to the 28’3” foot beam—as a yacht 20 feet larger. Righini was able to keep Goga looking somewhat svelte, rather than bloated, with creative horizontal lines. Of course, the four decks helped.

The interior layout is counterintuitive, especially compared to other yachts its size. But that’s what makes it work. The main deck includes four guest suites, along with an open, informal salon with loose designer furniture from Giorgetti and a flat-screen television. Vitelli called this area the “play room,” according to the Benetti rep showing me around the boat, because it’s designed mostly for the kids. The real salon and dining areas for the adults is actually on the next deck up. Goga ’s owner also opted for his stateroom and outer decks to be on the bridge deck, which offers a measure of privacy.

The interior design by the Benetti in-house team might be too informal for some, though that’s currently the vibe of most superyachts. And while the stairs leading from deck to deck look cool and save valuable space, they could be a bit narrow and vertical for older owners and guests. The sky deck has space for al-fresco dining (all four decks are connected by a dumbwaiter for the crew to move food and drinks). The lower deck is designed for service, with the galley, crew quarters, laundry room. It also has two other guest staterooms, bringing the total to seven.

Goga also has a sizable tender garage to store its 21-foot tender, jet ski and other toys. The beach club has a shower, sauna and the fold-down transom door allows instant access to the sea.

E-Modes range from the “Extended-range,” where the diesels power the electric motors to run navigation and hotel loads (air conditioning, electricity) to “Eco-cruise” in which the boat runs on batteries alone. That will allow Goga into areas restricted for electric boats, including many marine sanctuaries.

Vitelli’s design for his dream boat has proven popular. Since Goga was launched, eight other 37M B.YONDs have been sold and are now under construction. Which means the Azimut-Benetti chairman may have to wait a few more years to get his boat.

Voyager: Benetti presents new 40m B.Yond Limited Edition

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.

Benetti has said that the Voyager model will offer plenty of scope for customisation, as well as an option to install the E-Mode Hybrid propulsion system, developed in partnership with Siemens Energy. The system offers four different operating modes, including full electric. In a statement, the yard said: "Based on an average annual use of 1,000 hours (400 underway and the rest at anchor) fuel consumption and CO2 can be reduced by up to 24 per cent, and NOx by a maximum of 85 per cent".
