BENETTI AT THE QATAR BOAT SHOW 2026: STRENGTHENING ITS PRESENCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND UNVEILING THE LATEST EVOLUTIONS OF THE OASIS RANGE AND THE 70M CLEAR WAVES CONCEPT
At the Qatar Boat Show, Benetti reaffirms its strategic commitment to the Middle East and unveils the evolution of the Oasis Deck®, now extended to the steel B.Now family, alongside Clear Waves, an innovative 70-metre yacht concept designed around the principles of longevity and wellbeing at sea.
Benetti, one of the world’s leading luxury yacht builders will participate in the Qatar Boat Show 2026, taking place from 4 to 7 November at Old Doha Port. The shipyard’s presence at the event underscores the strategic importance of the Middle East within its international growth strategy and reaffirms its longstanding commitment to yacht owners, partners and stakeholders across the region.
Central to this commitment is Nabil El Jammal, Middle East Area Manager who has represented Benetti in the region since 2004. Over more than two decades, his leadership has been instrumental in strengthening the shipyard’s regional presence, cultivating enduring relationships and ensuring a consistent, personalised approach to client engagement.
“My journey with Benetti began in 2004 and, over more than two decades, we have built strong and lasting relationships with owners and partners across the region,” comments Nabil El Jammal, Middle East Area Manager at Benetti. “The Middle East represents a strategic market for Benetti, and the continuity of our presence here reflects our long-term commitment and determination to remain close to our clients at every stage of their yachting journey. The Qatar Boat Show provides an important platform for dialogue and exchange, enabling us to better understand the evolving expectations of the market and support each owner in bringing their individual vision to life.”
The evolution of the Oasis family: Redefining life at sea at Qatar Boat Show 2026, Benetti will highlight the continued evolution of its acclaimed Oasis family, a range that has redefined contemporary yacht design through its pioneering Oasis Deck® concept.
Developed to create a closer connection between life on board and the surrounding marine environment, the Oasis Deck® introduced an innovative approach to outdoor living. Its distinctive features, including expansive fold-out sea terraces, an integrated aft pool and seamless transitions between interior and exterior spaces on the Main Deck, have established a new benchmark for comfort, conviviality and relaxation at sea.
Building on the success of the Oasis 40M and Oasis 34M, Benetti has further developed this design philosophy with the introduction of the Oasis 42M and the latest Oasis 36M project.
These new additions represent a significant evolution in naval architecture and onboard living, incorporating refined spatial configurations and advanced technologies designed to enhance acoustic comfort, hydrodynamic efficiency, energy optimisation and the overall guest experience.
The success of the Oasis Deck® concept extends beyond the Oasis family. Developed by Benetti in collaboration with renowned British design studio RWD, the concept has also been integrated into the shipyard’s B.Now family of steel superyachts, spanning 50 to 72 metres.
With 21 yachts delivered and a further 15 currently under construction, the B.Now family continues to demonstrate strong international demand, reinforcing Benetti’s position in the large luxury yacht segment and highlighting the enduring appeal of its innovative design approach.
Clear Waves: A visionary 70-metre concept inspired by longevity and wellbeing further demonstrating its commitment to innovation, Benetti will present Clear Waves, a visionary 70-metre yacht concept developed in collaboration with LUCA DINI Design & Architecture and The Longevity Suite.
Conceived around the principles of longevity, Clear Waves introduces a new perspective on luxury yachting, placing physical and mental wellbeing at the centre of the onboard experience.
The concept explores how architecture, technology and carefully curated environments can contribute to long-term health, balance and quality of life, transforming the yacht into a sanctuary dedicated to relaxation, regeneration and personal wellbeing.
At the heart of the project is the spectacular Glass Dome, an architectural feature extending across more than 400 square metres over two decks. Offering uninterrupted 360-degree panoramic views of the sea and surrounding landscape, the glazed structure reimagines the traditional yacht superstructure while creating an exceptional connection between guests and the natural environment.
Beneath the dome, an immersive wellness environment brings together relaxation lounges, hot and cold water experiences, dedicated food and beverage spaces, and advanced treatment technologies. The result is a thoughtfully integrated setting where social interaction, restorative experiences and contemporary design coexist seamlessly.
The philosophy of wellbeing extends throughout the yacht, with particular attention given to air and water quality, acoustic comfort, lighting, material selection and microclimate regulation. Each element has been designed to support the body’s natural rhythms and create an environment that promotes relaxation, recovery and regeneration.
Alongside its wellness-focused design, Clear Waves reflects Benetti’s commitment to advancing more responsible and efficient yachting solutions.
The concept incorporates approximately 250 square metres of translucent photovoltaic panels, sophisticated climate-control and energy-management systems, and a dual-fuel hybrid propulsion architecture designed for compatibility with HVO and methanol.
Together, these technologies demonstrate Benetti’s forward-looking approach to yacht development, combining exceptional comfort, advanced engineering and environmental responsibility.
A long-term commitment to the Middle East, Benetti’s participation in Qatar Boat Show 2026 further reinforces its commitment to one of the world’s most important luxury yachting markets.
Through its established regional presence, close relationships with yacht owners and continued investment in innovation, the shipyard remains focused on responding to the evolving aspirations of Middle Eastern clients while delivering the craftsmanship, design excellence and bespoke experiences that define the Benetti name.
From the evolution of the Oasis family to the forward-thinking Clear Waves concept, Benetti’s presence in Doha reflects a vision of luxury yachting that brings together Italian heritage, technological innovation, personal wellbeing and a deeper connection with the sea.
Benetti will welcome visitors to Qatar Boat Show 2026 from 4 to 7 November at Old Doha Port, Doha, Stand YL-23.
