BENETTI ANNOUNCES THE SALE OF THE B.NEOS 40M FULL HYBRID, THE MODEL THAT BRINGS TOGETHER SILENCE, SUSTAINABILITY AND NEW LIFESTYLE AT SEA
Benetti officially announces the sale of B.Neos The Soul of Silence, a 40.6-metre, 296 GT displacement superyacht scheduled for delivery in spring 2028.
The transaction was completed with the buyer represented by Royal Yacht International through its CEO, Manuele Thiella.
Born from a vision of essential elegance and an approach rooted in the concept of “evolved simplicity,” B.Neos The Soul of Silence offers a contemporary interpretation of life at sea, placing continuity between spaces, connection with the marine environment and the culture of silent navigation at the heart of the onboard experience.
This philosophy is expressed through exterior architecture by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design and interiors by Francesca Muzio of FM Architettura, bringing together design, functionality and a refined relationship with the surrounding environment.
At the heart of the yacht is an integrated technological platform featuring a MAN Smart Hybrid system paired with MAN V8-800 engines. The system has been engineered to deliver exceptionally quiet cruising while optimising energy management and onboard efficiency.
The hybrid configuration enables zero-emission electric cruising and anchoring, while reducing fuel consumption and emissions by up to 30 per cent. At the same time, it significantly enhances onboard comfort by minimising noise, exhaust fumes and vibration, creating an atmosphere of exceptional tranquillity both underway and at anchor.
Inside, the layout has been conceived around effortless sociability, intuitive movement and a close relationship with the natural environment. On the Main Deck, this approach translates into a seamless and uninterrupted flow from stern to bow, free from structural barriers and designed to reinforce the sense of openness throughout the yacht.
On the Upper Deck, the panoramic master suite offers an elevated level of privacy and comfort. Complete with a private study and dedicated lobby, the suite opens onto an exclusive forward terrace, creating a distinctive private retreat and delivering a remarkable sense of volume and liveability for a yacht below 300 GT.
Through its combination of sophisticated design, hybrid technology and carefully considered spatial solutions, B.Neos The Soul of Silence embodies Benetti’s evolving vision of contemporary life at sea.
The latest sale further reinforces the success of Benetti’s approach in which sustainability, design and advanced technology come together to redefine the onboard experience and shape a quieter, more conscious expression of luxury at sea.
