Benetti has been working on something quite, well, lofty. The Italian shipyard unveiled a new line of megayachts on Monday. Designed to entirely new architectural criteria, the B.
Loft range will bring a contemporary residential feel to supersized cruisers. Each B.Loft model will combine “the volumes of a villa with the luminosity of a loft,” according to Benetti.
Penned by Italian studio Cassetta Yacht Designers, the B.Loft yachts will be characterized by sleek lines, minimalist profiles, and expansive glazing. The line will include three models, with the B.
Loft 65M (pictured here) being the first to be revealed. The new 213-footer will sit in the middle of the range, with at least one smaller and one larger model joining the lineup at a later date. The inaugural B.
Loft showcases a steel hull, an aluminum superstructure, and multi-layered decks that create openness and flow. With an impressive beam just shy of 35 feet, the spacious yacht offers six cabins for 12 guests and nine for 13 crew. The interior combines modern matte surfaces and swathes of natural teak, creating an elegant environment for entertaining.
The standout feature of the B.Loft 65M is the “cabana” on the main deck. A cut above an ordinary beach club, the panoramic area is outfitted with three glass doors that afford 270-degree views and two fold-down wings that create up to 430 square feet of relaxation space.
The glass-bottomed pool on the main deck above allows different lights, patterns, and shape.
