The Benetti B.YOND 37M is a product of the revolutionary vision of Paolo Vitelli, Founder and President of Azimut|Benetti Group, and the creative genius of architect Stefano Righini. It embodies the excellence of a new Voyager series and truly reflects the style of the modern owner.
On July 4, 2022, the Benetti shipyard in Livorno launched its new B.Yond 37M Voyager. This vessel is made of steel instead of fiberglass, a choice that harkens back to the 1950s when Benetti first introduced metal as a construction material. For many markets, steel is a symbol of durability and solidity, which are essential qualities for a vessel designed for extended cruising.
The E-Mode Hybrid system by Siemens Energy is a cutting-edge innovation that allows yacht owners to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on fuel costs. This system optimizes energy consumption according to specific usage profiles, resulting in unprecedented emissions reductions. If you care about the environment and your bottom line, the E-Mode Hybrid system is a clear choice.
Paollo Vitelli, Founder, and President of Azimut|Benetti Group, commented: “I am happy to present one of the most innovative boats ever built. Equipped with a hybrid system for long-range, environment-friendly cruising and featuring a four-deck layout with a length of just 37 meters, this is a dream come true for modern owners who want to cruise around the world with their family and friends. In my imagination, I saw a record-breaking boat, and here it is”.
The B.Yond 37M is a world-class example of green boat technology, utilizing SCR catalytic filters in conjunction with the innovative E-Mode Hybrid system from Siemens Energy. This combination results in simplified management and the ability to easily switch from electric to mechanical propulsion without needing specialized personnel on board.
B.Yond 37M offers the unique benefit of four different operating modes, including the Full Electric mode for zero emission navigation. This allows B.Yond 37M to enter protected marine areas or those normally off-limits to motor yachts. The lithium battery pack also makes it possible to stay at anchor in Hotel Mode with zero emissions, keeping the generators switched off and running the main onboard utilities from the batteries. This translates into time spent at anchor in harmony with nature, immersed in vibration-free silence.
The new generation of high-energy density batteries provides up to 8 hours of autonomy at anchor during the day and 12 hours at night. The batteries recharge in just three hours. Estimating an average annual use of 1,000 hours, of which 400 are underway and the rest at anchor, fuel consumption and CO2 can be reduced by up to 24% and NOx by a maximum of 85%. The Voyager's added value comes from its incredible range - nearly double that of traditional navettas of the same size. In Eco Transfer mode, it can travel up to 8,200 nautical miles at 9 knots while using only one propulsion engine. This reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 16% and NOx emissions by up to 80%.
The fourth deck, designed by Stefano Righini, offers panoramic views of the noblest areas of the yacht, including the Main Deck's night area for guests. The Main Deck's panoramic lounge, which Benetti calls the Playroom, offers ample windows and access to four suites. The Lower Deck includes a walk-in wine cellar and cold room, making this one of the most unique boats of its size. As you step onto the Upper Deck, you'll be met with a breathtaking 360-degree view of your surroundings. Moving up to the Bridge Deck, you'll find a secluded area reserved for the owner. The Sun Deck is perfect for dining al fresco, complete with a pantry and an outdoor table sheltered by a hard top. Two stairways, one for guests and one for the crew, ensure total privacy for both owner and guests.
The layout of the yacht is flexible and can be customized to the needs of the guests. The Main Deck has four guest suites that are spacious and can optionally contain the master cabin or the Playroom with a panoramic view. The Bridge Deck can accommodate the master cabin or a panoramic veranda. On the Lower Deck, the gym can be replaced by a sixth guest cabin. Another important feature is the double accommodation solution for the captain, with a full-size cabin adjacent to the wheelhouse and another spacious one adjoining the crew quarters. If the captain desires to use the cabin located closest to the wheelhouse, the other could be designated as a seventh guest cabin. The garage included with the vessel is large and can fit a 6.5-meter tender for the owner, a 4.2-meter rescue boat, and two jet skis, all of which would be stored in a safe and discreet area.
The B.Yond 37M perfectly embodies the contemporary spirit of beauty and functionality through the high-quality furnishings provided by Giorgetti. The fine materials used to feature a natural color palette, with accents of blue from the fabrics and accessories. These colors stand out against the optical white walls and echo the color of the sea. Giorgetti's elegant and sophisticated design language is evident throughout the yacht's various decks, showcasing the brand's expertise in creating spaces that are part of a larger vision.
