info@easybranches.comBenetti 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 shapes to fill the space.
Speaking of the main deck, the semi-enclosed aft area leads to a spacious interior lounge and a luxurious lobby. The nearby dining area features floor-to-ceiling windows and a large, central table that is perfect for entertaining. This deck also includes a fully equipped galley and a second lobby with a winter garden and more fold-out balconies.
The upper deck is also sure to impress, with towering 13-foot ceilings and a lobby that Benetti says is longer and more spacious than those typically found on yachts of this size. Again, a glass-bottomed hot tub on the sundeck above lets the light shine through the water onto the area below.
Benetti didn’t dive into propulsion, but says the B.Loft 65M will be able to cover 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots. That’s not bad speed or range for a floating loft.
