Benetti unveils, for the first time, the Oasis 40M, a yacht entirely in fiberglass, with exteriors by the English studio RWD and refined interiors by the New York-based firm Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture. The highlight is the dramatic beach area at the stern, with an infinity pool. Aimed at a modern clientele with a dynamic, informal lifestyle, the yacht has 4 decks with 5 cabins for 10 guests, and 4 cabins for the 7 crew members, including a comfortable skipper’s lodging on the upper deck next to the wheelhouse. Oasis 40M is a boat for yachtsmen who are not in a hurry, and want to enjoy the journey: it reaches a maximum speed of 18 knots, and at 11 knots it consumes little more than 100 l/h, with enough range to make an Atlantic crossing.

“We have connected the spaces just as in a building, through technological openings that trigger indoor-outdoor relations. The boat is like a floating villa.” These are the words of Piero Lissoni, art director of Sanlorenzo since 2018, to describe the Sanlorenzo SX112, the new flagship of the SX crossover line. With a length of 34 meters, this is a vessel where indoor-outdoor barriers are banished, giving the yachtsman a more direct experience of the sea. The focal point of the design is the spacious beach area at the stern, of about 90 square meters, easy to expand thanks to folding terraces; inside, there is a gym area directly connected to the open air by large sliding glass doors. The interiors are by Piero Lissoni, the exteriors by Bernardo Zuccon, while the concept of the SX crossover line is by Luca Santella.

Invictus Yacht (Stand A159 Marina Ormeggi – Pier A)
“The sea is not just a place for vacation, or an enchanting backdrop for photographs – it is a lifestyle,” says Christian Grande, designer of Invictus Yachts, introducing the new Invictus TT460 flagship. “This boat comes from the desire to give form to that energy, to the thrill of a day on board: when time seems to stand still, and you feel at one with the sunshine and the waves. All without sacrificing style, that utterly Italian refinement that adds value to any experience.” The taut, essential lines are the distinctive feature of the Invictus hulls: the profile from the bow to the center of the yacht, the elegant windscreen that is continued by the hardtop in carbon, bringing further thrust to the powerful volume of this new model driven by two Volvo Penta IPS 650 motors. The model offers a wide range of custom options: Atelier Invictus provides clients with a network of specialized craftsmen and highly qualified suppliers, to make any desire become reality.
