A look on board Benetti's first 37M B.Yond

Benetti went beyond its comfort zone for its new steel-hulled series. As she makes her American debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show , Stewart Campbell learns why it’s yet another success for the prolific builder

Just because you own the company doesn’t mean you always get your way. When Paolo Vitelli, founder and CEO of the Azimut-Benetti Group, first pitched the idea for a four-deck, steel-hulled, 37-metre, semi-custom yacht to his board of directors, it wasn’t met with wild enthusiasm. The sales team, meanwhile, asked the quite reasonable question: “Are you crazy?” Smaller, steel-hulled boats were not their market. 

No one who makes their living from semi-custom superyacht production can afford a dud. The upfront investment is considerable, so if only a few hulls from the series sell, costs aren’t recouped and the recriminations begin. In short, it takes guts. But Vitelli was convinced he was on to something, leaning hard on his vast experience, from founding Azimut as a twenty-something in 1969 to buying Benetti in 1985 and building a business that tops our Global Order Book of superyacht producers. 

“Everyone was building bigger boats in fibreglass, so the idea to build a smaller boat in steel was not easy to accept,” says Vitelli from an office overlooking his expansive Livorno shipyard. The concept led to some “internal discussions”, he adds suggestively. To swing everyone around to his way of thinking took some time – and personal investment: Vitelli would build the first hull in the series for himself.

The project was eventually given the green light in October 2019 and steel was cut for what would become the first B.Yond 37M , later christened Goga . Before it was even delivered in July this year, Benetti had sold a further eight B.Yond 37Ms, and had buyers on the line for hulls 10 and 11. They say there’s a fine line between genius and crazy. 

As we tour the boat, Vitelli’s emotions are close to the surface. His pride in the project is evident, but this was also the last full project he worked on with long-time collaborator Stefano Righini . The designer died in 2021, and taking pride of place in the main saloon is a portrait of the man who defined the look of Azimuts and Benettis for a generation. Even when he was slipping away in 2021, Righini would make revisions to the B.Yond series from his hospital bed. “We were friends for 35 years,” sighs Vitelli. 

When the pair started dreaming up the first B.Yond yacht, there were several stipulations. First, it couldn’t be longer than 40 metres, so the boat could go alongside or stern-to in the little Mediterranean harbours that Vitelli so loves. “In Greece, in Turkey, in the south of Italy or Sardinia, there’s so many village harbours that big boats can’t access. If you go above 40 metres, you have to go to a properly organised marina.”

What the B.Yond 37M lacks in length, it makes up for in width. It stretches 8.6 metres across the beam, making it almost a metre wider than Benetti’s 37 metre Motopanfilo model, and equitable with a number of competitors’ 44- and 45-metre boats. “The boat is wider than normal,” says Vitelli, “and this gives it a natural stability.” Making it steel was the second demand. Vitelli wanted something with permanence, “that can last for decades”.

“We knew it had to be different from the competition and be a little bit unique,” he says. “We thought that if you put a lot of money in your boat you want it to have a long life and you want it to be easily repairable and to have the feeling of being very solid. We made an analysis and we discovered that a lot of European clients, a lot of Russians and a lot of clients from Canada like steel.”

Another prerequisite was electric propulsion. The setup on Goga was engineered in partnership with Siemens and offers four cruising “E-Modes”, from silent running on batteries alone, to single-engine propulsion, to an “Extended Range Mode”, where the main engines are powering electric motors, which are turning the shafts and covering the hotel load of the boat. It is a truly dynamic system that is single-button operated from the bridge.

It’s not just fuel savings (Benetti claims fuel and CO2 reductions of 24 per cent) – the system should also extend the life of all heavy machinery on board. NOx emissions, meanwhile, are knocked right down by a selective catalytic reduction system. It all adds up to the “greenest boat in its class”, says Vitelli. It’s not a compulsory setup on future B.Yonds, but it’s a sensible one. With the 100kW battery bank in his boat, Vitelli can get six hours of air-con and kettles with the generators off but recommends a heavier 200kW or even 400kW installation to give you even longer periods of silence while at anchor.

The last big decision concerned decks – Vitelli wanted four, and he got four. Sometimes when you’re walking through the bowels of a massive yacht, you might climb a staircase from the engineering level and have to reorient yourself. This is the first time I’ve had that sensation walking through a 37-metre boat; she packs a lot into her length, including something which shouldn’t really be possible on this platform: a tender garage on the main deck.

She can carry a 6.5-metre tender and, with a bit of hot work to adjust a bulkhead, a seven-metre tender, ideally, according to Vitelli, the new EvoJet 70 from Williams, which is more associated with 50- or 60-metre yachts. On the garage’s other side can sit a four-metre crew tender, or jet skis, Seabobs, paddleboards, gym equipment or any of the other paraphernalia necessary on modern yachts, barring a submarine. The consequence of this enhanced tender garage is a minimised beach club, but this doesn’t bother Vitelli.

“I have a house on the French coast and I see all these 60-metre boats with beach clubs, which are always totally abandoned, dark and not enjoyed spaces.” What you get on the B.Yond is a more practical interface between sea and boat, offering a shower, sauna, storage and a small laundry for swimsuits and towels, but no DJ booth, bar or lounge. If you want to sit at this level, crew can move some of the loose Giorgetti furniture onto the fold-down transom door.

The rest of the GA makes a fascinating study, because it doesn’t make any conventional sense, which clearly delights the Benetti boss. Let’s start with the main deck, which has the feel of a family apartment. There are four double cabins and what Vitelli calls the “playroom”. It’s a full-beam space with a TV and lounge seating, but it’s not the central hangout; it’s more a kids’ lounge, where you can imagine younger generations doing homework at the window seating or watching Netflix.

A central stairway winds to the upper deck, where you find the interior and exterior dining areas and the main saloon. It’s a huge, open-plan space that leads onto a foredeck area with a pool and more seating. Up one more level is the owner’s cabin, with its own private terrace and up again is a large sundeck. It’s a truly multigenerational design but with good interaction between the decks thanks to the open stairway leading through the spine of the yacht.

There are two further double cabins on the lower deck, bringing the total number of guest cabins on this 37-metre boat to seven. Seven! “You don’t even see this in 50-metre boats,” says Vitelli. One of the lower cabins is designated a second “captain’s cabin”, so the skipper is truly spoiled for choice. “Half the world wants the captain up [by the bridge], half the world wants the captain down. What do we do? We put the captain in both places!” he adds. The other lower cabin, meanwhile, can be converted to a gym.

The layout options available to buyers are heady – you can almost have it all. Personally, I would keep the owner’s cabin on the main deck where you can use more of the beam. This would leave the bridge deck free for another lounge and means you get external access to the sundeck. The only way up to the sundeck perch is via the internal crew stairs, which feel tight. But what do I know? Most owners have opted for the bridge-deck-master arrangement.

The yacht's interior was designed in-house by Mauro Izzo. His pared-back styling allows owners to bring spaces to life with furniture and objets d’art. “The idea of the decor is to have a very simple box,” confirms Costanza Gnemmi, the yacht’s project manager. “Simple but not basic. You are then left to play with loose furniture from a really high level brand to make the boat rich.” It’s smart, since overly engineered interiors slow everything down, and Benetti has got a very big order book to deliver. Pieces from Giorgetti abound, creating a very low key and relaxed environment. Put your feet up and soak in those views provided by the massive windows. This is a very bright boat.

For all its volume and features, the horizontal lines of the B.Yond stretch it visually and mean it doesn’t look like an intimidating, towering mass. That Righini touch. The designer blessed Benetti with a little more of his insight on the next B.Yond in the range, a 48-metre. “The concept was given by him in the final days of his life,” says Vitelli.

And why the 48-metre? I ask. “My soul looks forward and I dream about the next boat,” he says. I suspect he won’t meet as much resistance from the board this time around.

The B.Yond's E-modes

The power system installed comes from a collaboration between Siemens and Benetti, and is designed to achieve maximum efficiency at all speeds. A pair of Siemens ELFA motors are coupled to the main engines and connected to a power management system (PMS), into which also feeds the generators and lithium-ion battery bank. The PMS then feeds into the main switchboard. The system allows for four E-Modes, outlined below. Standard, straightforward diesel operation is also available, which gives a maximum speed of 14 knots.

Enhanced comfort mode

The main engines are off, and the diesel gensets supply energy to the electric motors. The battery bank handles any peak loads in the hotel, propulsion or stabilisation systems. This is quiet running, offering minimal noise and vibration, and ideally suited for night passages or manoeuvring. Cruising speed in this mode is seven knots.

Extended range mode

The gensets are off and the diesel engines are powering the electric motors, giving a cruising speed of 12 knots. The electric motors run the navigation and hotel loads, with peaks taken care of by the battery bank. The advantages of this mode are the fuel savings and reduction of running hours on the gensets. The mode is best for long passages.

Eco transfer mode

One diesel engine is running, powering both electric motors. The B.Yond 37M is capable of nine knots in this arrangement, which is best for repositioning. The main advantage is low wear and tear on the main engines (since they can work alternately) and gensets.

Again, batteries can handle loading peaks.

Eco cruise mode

This is running on batteries alone, with zero emissions. The lithium-ion battery bank supplies energy to the electric motors and runs the hotel load. In this mode, she can run for five knots for 30 minutes, but larger battery installations will increase battery-only range.

Goga is now under new ownership and has been renamed Never Say Never Again

Big Features, Smaller Package: the Benetti B.Yond 37M

• By Diane M. Byrne
• June 9, 2023

Space is usually the reason that owners step up to a larger superyacht—say, a length overall of 197 feet or more. On those yachts, there are easily enough staterooms to accommodate up to 10 family members and friends; there are several lounging areas inside and out, spread across a few decks; and there is enough room for a party or for privacy. Getting all this in a yacht of less than 500 gross tons, which typically caps around 164 feet long, is just not possible.

Paolo Vitelli, president of the Azimut-Benetti Group, was convinced there’s a way. Not only that, but he believed yachtsmen would like a semicustom series with a steel hull, long range, volume rivaling much bigger boats, and four decks. He was thinking in ways yachtsmen hadn’t seen: Steel alone is a radical departure from the norm in this size range. Four decks are unheard of too.

He was right. The 121-foot Benetti B.Yond 37M landed about a dozen contracts before Hull No. 1, Goga , appeared at international yacht shows in 2022. As of January, the next available delivery date is in 2027.

Increasingly, yacht buyers are realizing that volume dictates how roomy a project will look and feel. To that end, the Benetti B.Yond 37M has a volume just shy of 400 gross tons. Strong-selling American- and European-built series yachts, even those that are 10 to 20 feet longer, are unable to rival that volume.

Of course, long-standing physical dimensions remain important. Each of the four decks aboard the new Benetti is a healthy length. This includes the partially sheltered sun deck, which is a full-fledged deck for up to 12 people. With a barbecue, a dining area, a seating area and pedestal observation chairs, Goga’s sun deck even has windows inset into the hardtop’s sides.

Benetti further sidesteps convention with the yacht’s 28-foot beam and an anything-but-cookie-cutter general arrangement. As much as series builders and designers say clients can arrange rooms as they see fit, inevitably, they suggest that the staterooms go belowdecks while the salon and dining area sit on the main deck. Even for yachts with main-deck master staterooms, conventional layouts still dominate. By contrast, the standard configuration for the Benetti B.Yond 37M places four guest staterooms and the master on the main deck. The lower deck is entirely for seven or eight crewmembers and all service areas.

More surprisingly, though, Goga follows an alternate arrangement, which Vitelli personally selected, since he intended to cruise aboard (and did for a month with his family). The master stateroom is on the bridge deck, with sliding-glass doors to an alfresco dining and sunning area. In the forward main-deck space where the master otherwise would have been are two guest staterooms. Just abaft them, there’s a playroom. In the not-too-distant past, a dedicated rumpus room would have been unthinkable, especially aboard a yacht of Goga’s dimensions. Perhaps in a sign of the times, nine of the contracts signed so far include the playroom. Owners can also fashion the space as a media room.

The B.Yond 37M also has an open-air toy “garage” four steps down from the main deck aft. The main deck has neither a traditional aft-deck leisure area nor sliding doors leading into a main salon; instead, the main lounge is one deck up, offering better views and freeing more deck space for toy stowage. If you’re wondering why the toys aren’t stowed below, in a garage, it’s because the yacht has a beach club with a sauna down there—once again providing owners and guests with leisure areas not found on comparable-length yachts. The toys launch to either side via fold-down bulkheads.

Finally, the bigger thinking extends to the propulsion package. Goga has a diesel-electric system with lithium-ion batteries created in collaboration with Siemens Energy, allowing four operational modes. Enhanced Comfort Mode is for low-speed coastal trips or nighttime cruising, with just the gensets and electric motors engaged. Extended Range Mode uses the main MANs powering the electric motors for full-speed, 14-knot trips. Eco Transfer Mode sees one MAN running solo, which Benetti says lets the yacht cruise up to 8,200 nautical miles at 9 knots. Eco Cruise Mode is a zero-emissions operation in which the battery pack’s capacity determines the potential range for short excursions.

Based on an average yearly 1,000 hours of use, with 400 hours spent cruising and the rest at anchor, Benetti says the system reduces carbon-dioxide emissions by up to 24 percent and nitrous-oxide emissions by up to 85 percent.

With the Benetti B.Yond 37M, Vitelli really did prove that it’s possible to get much more in a smaller length overall.

The Legacy of Stefano Righini

The Benetti B.Yond series is among the last projects designed by Stefano Righini, who died in October 2021. Righini’s pen strokes characterize the looks of nearly every Azimut and Benetti yacht currently afloat too. In total, approximately 6,000 of the brands’ yachts bear his signature.

Capable Compact Cruiser

With a reported range of 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots, the B.Yond 37M encourages owners to cruise farther and stay independent of shore longer. The yacht has the capabilities of a larger, full-displacement build in a size that’s better for small coves and many more marinas. 

Because of the B.Yond 37M’s volume and deck arrangements, the crew gets more space for amenities and operations. They have a mess opposite the belowdecks galley, and a laundry area. They also have their own stairway, independent of the guests’ stairs, and a dumbwaiter connecting all decks.
