Viareggio, Italy — The prestigious Italian shipyard, Benetti, unveiled its latest creation on February 16, 2024, the M/Y Sirena, marking another milestone in the lineage of its renowned Oasis 34M series. Built at the Viareggio yard, this 34-meter luxury vessel has already been purchased by SeaNet America, which specializes in a fractional ownership model, allowing multiple individuals the opulent experience of yacht ownership.
The M/Y Sirena exhibits a bold aesthetic departure, with its exterior crafted by the British design firm Redman Whiteley Dixon (RWD). The yacht’s striking appearance is enhanced by its Silver Grey metallic hull and superstructure, contrasted with Shark Grey accents, setting a new standard in the Oasis line.
In an innovative twist to the classic layout, the Sirena features a special aft configuration on the Main Deck, integrating an American bar—a nod to sophisticated social gatherings at sea. This thoughtful addition underlines Benetti's commitment to providing luxurious and functional spaces that cater to the modern yacht owner's preferences.
Interior Elegance
The yacht's interior, designed by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, reflects a harmonious blend of luxury and comfort. The choice of materials and colors speaks volumes about the yacht's bespoke nature. Walnut and ribbed wood provide a warm, natural feel, juxtaposed with the clean, modern look of white-lacquered panels. Navy blue accents throughout the yacht add a touch of elegance, particularly in the Main Salon, where they complement the suede panel behind the TV and the cushions.
A significant highlight within the Main Salon is a cabinet adorned with backlit alabaster cladding, creating an ambient focal point that is both artistic and inviting. This element of design continuity is carried into the Skylounge, maintaining the aesthetic cohesion that is a hallmark of Benetti yachts.
The owner’s cabin on M/Y Sirena is a testament to Benetti's attention to detail and innovation. For the first time in the Oasis 34M series, it features a floor-to-ceiling bed headboard and a terrace that offers sweeping views of the ocean—a direct connection to the marine surroundings that enhances the onboard experience.
The Sun Deck of the M/Y Sirena is designed as the epicenter of social interaction, equipped with a Lava Blue quartzite tall table that is nearly level with the jacuzzi, located in the bow. This setting invites guests to mingle in a luxurious yet relaxed environment. The addition of transparent glass panels between the handrails adds to the deck’s open, airy feel, further emphasizing the yacht’s sleek design.
Technical Specifications
M/Y Sirena boasts impressive technical capabilities, including a maximum speed of 17 knots and a cruising range of up to 2700 nautical miles at 14.5 knots. The yacht is powered by twin MTU 10V 2000M86 engines, each providing 1380 metric horsepower. It accommodates 10 guests in five cabins and has a crew capacity of seven in four cabins, ensuring that every voyage is comfortable and well-staffed.
Benetti, a division of the Azimut|Benetti Group, continues to reinforce its reputation as a leader in the luxury yacht industry. Each yacht is a bespoke creation, tailored to the desires of its owner, which makes Benetti not just a shipbuilder but a curator of personalized maritime experiences.
As M/Y Sirena prepares for delivery in spring 2024, it not only adds to Benetti's prestigious portfolio but also sets new benchmarks in design and luxury, promising to be a beacon of innovation and elegance in the yachting world. With such advanced features and a refined aesthetic, the M/Y Sirena is poised to become another celebrated chapter in Benetti's long history of shipbuilding excellence
