Part of the Benetti B.NOW series — see how owners step up through the lineup.
A 220-foot steel superyacht with hybrid propulsion and a recessed pool at sea level. Built for owners who want space, not spectacle.
- Hybrid propulsion system delivers 20 percent fuel savings and silent operation in harbor, a measurable advantage over diesel-only competitors in the 200-220 foot class - Oasis Deck with deployable side wings expands usable outdoor space to nearly 1,500 square feet at sea level, more than most yachts offer on the main deck - Full-beam owner's suite on a dedicated deck with private terrace and pool, a layout typically reserved for yachts over 250 feet
The B.NOW 67M represents Benetti's most refined execution of the Oasis Deck concept. The hybrid propulsion system is not a gimmick. It's a functional upgrade that reduces operating costs and improves onboard comfort. The E-Mode system allows for generator-free operation in harbor, which matters when you're anchored in noise-restricted zones or simply want a quiet evening on deck. The fuel savings are real. Over 1,000 hours of operation annually, you're looking at $200,000 to $300,000 in reduced fuel costs. That's a 5 to 6 percent reduction in total operating expenses.
This yacht is for the owner who has already owned a 150-footer and realized they need more space, not more complexity. The layout is designed for families or groups who actually use the boat. Seven guest cabins. A full-beam owner's suite with a private deck. A main salon that opens completely to the aft deck. The Oasis Deck itself, which expands from 36 feet to nearly 50 feet wide when deployed. You're not fighting for space. You're choosing which space you want. This is not a yacht for the owner who wants to impress other yacht owners. It's for the owner who wants to disappear for two weeks with family and come back rested.
The resale market for Benetti yachts in this size range is stable. The brand has 150 years of history. The build quality is documented. The B.NOW series has won multiple design awards, including the 2023 World Yachts Trophy. If you maintain the yacht properly and don't over-customize, you'll recover 60 to 70 percent of your purchase price after five years. That's better than most superyachts. The hybrid system will also age better than diesel-only propulsion as environmental regulations tighten in European and Caribbean waters. Maintenance costs are higher than a comparable Feadship or Lurssen, but lower than most Italian builders. Budget $800,000 to $1 million annually for maintenance, refit, and unexpected repairs. The crew requirement is 13 to 17 depending on how you use the boat. If you're on board 60 to 90 days a year, you can reduce crew size and cut costs. But this is not a yacht you run with a skeleton crew..

Draft is 2.95 metres, 9 feet 9 inches, which is shallow for a 220-foot steel yacht and the reason this boat reaches anchorages most superyachts its size have to skip. The Bahamas and the Greek islands stay open to you, and you do not need a marina to make a stop work.
Beam is 11 metres, 36 feet 1 inch, before the Oasis Deck wings deploy, and displacement is 1,350 gross tons. Tony treats the draft as one of the quieter reasons to buy the 67M: it decides where your season can go before any other spec gets a vote.
The B.NOW 67M sleeps 14 guests in seven cabins. The owner's suite is full-beam on its own dedicated deck with a walk-in closet, his-and-hers bathrooms, a private office and a 600-square-foot terrace carrying a pool, sunbeds and a bar, a layout usually reserved for yachts well over 250 feet.
Benetti lists accommodation for 17 crew in ten cabins, and Tony's working number is 13 to 17 depending on how you use the boat. The main deck is one continuous space, with a salon glazed on three sides and an aft dining table for 14, and the upper deck adds an observation lounge and a jacuzzi.
Hydraulic side wings fold out from the Oasis Deck, adding roughly 15 feet of beam on each side and taking the deck from 36 feet wide to nearly 50. Deployed, you have around 1,500 square feet of outdoor living space at sea level, with room for 20 people back there comfortably.
The pool is recessed into the deck with a glass front that reads as an infinity edge. Sinot handled the interiors and RWD the exterior, and the two agree on one idea: the main deck above is a single continuous room, glazed on three sides, so opening the sliding doors makes salon and aft deck one space.
Buy the 67M if 14 guests is your number and you want an owner's deck to yourself. It runs 219 feet 10 inches with seven guest cabins and a hydraulically expanding Oasis Deck, and Tony's crew estimate is 13 to 17. The 72M is 236 feet 3 inches, sleeps 16 in eight cabins, and requires a crew of 17 with annual costs he puts at $5 million to $7 million.
The honest difference is programme size, not prestige. The 67M can still be run by an owner aboard 60 to 90 days a year. The 72M assumes a full-time crew manager and a rotating captain.
Yes. The B.NOW 67M covers 4,500 nautical miles at 12 knots, which is Fort Lauderdale to the Azores without a fuel stop, or Monaco to the Maldives with one. It carries 110,000 litres of fuel, 29,060 US gallons, and 30,000 litres of water. Top speed is 16 knots.
The E-Mode hybrid system reduces fuel consumption by up to 20 percent at cruise, and the batteries recharge while the main engines are running, so you are not trading range or speed for the saving. Twin MAN V12 diesels produce 1,650 horsepower each. This is a 1,350-gross-ton steel yacht built to hold 12 knots across an ocean.
Tony's numbers are $55 million to $65 million to buy depending on customisation, and $4 million to $5 million a year to run, covering crew, fuel, insurance, maintenance and dockage. Budget $800,000 to $1 million of that for maintenance, refit and the repairs you did not plan for. These are his estimates, not Benetti figures.
The hybrid system pays some of it back. At around 1,000 hours of annual operation he puts the fuel saving at $200,000 to $300,000, roughly 5 to 6 percent of total operating cost, and it extends engine life and stretches maintenance intervals at the same time.
