Benetti, a long-standing Italian shipyard specialised in luxury yachts, has presented B.Neos, a smart, technological and unconventional vessel which challenges the usual concept of the mega yacht. The name derives from the Greek néos (“new, young, fresh) and reflects Benetti’s innovative spirit in favour of a new generation of yacht owners.
Stemming from their partnership with Malcom McKeon Yacht Design for the exterior and FM Architetture for the interior, this new motor yacht with its efficient design, has been created for those who prefer a simple way of life, finding luxury and elegance in subtlety and rediscovering the authentic as a form of exclusivity. Replacing the pursuit of larger spaces, is their intelligent distribution, for clients who do not want the superfluous, but prefer a more direct and functional experience.
“B.Neos – explains Giovanna Vitelli, president of the Azimut Benetti Group – is a new forward-looking approach. We have chosen a designer that is well known for sailing yachts to provide us with the streamlined proportions of a sailing yacht in our motor yacht, eschewing space at all costs. From sailing, B.Neos also inherits the pleasure of silence when in roads due to hybrid technology and an essential approach in the interiors which steps away from the redundant opulence found in other shipyards.”
