“
Benetti made the right call here. The B.NOW 52M isn’t a new design—it’s a measured extension of the 50-meter platform with the added length going exactly where it matters. The steel hull gives you durability and range. The MAN V12s are proven and serviceable worldwide. The sub-500-ton displacement keeps you out of regulatory headaches. This is a well-engineered yacht with no surprises.
This boat is for owners who understand that outdoor space is the real currency on a yacht. If you’re spending your time in the salon, you bought the wrong boat. The Oasis Deck is the entire value proposition, and it delivers. Six guest cabins, 4,500nm range, and a layout that actually makes sense for how people use yachts. It’s not for buyers chasing volume or speed—it’s for operators who want a functional, well-built cruiser.
Resale will be steady if you maintain it properly. Benetti has market recognition, and the B.NOW line has a following. Operating costs are in line with the class—expect $2 to $3 million annually if you’re using it regularly. Crew of ten is standard. The boat will hold value better than more exotic builds, and parts availability is strong. This is a rational purchase for an experienced owner.”
