You're anchored off Capri. It's 7am. You walk from your owner's suite through sliding glass doors onto a private terrace with your own pool. No crew in sight. No guests awake yet. Just you, coffee, and a 270-degree view of the Tyrrhenian. This is the B.NOW 67M Oasis Deck. Not a floating hotel. A floating estate.
Benetti built this yacht for owners who want the scale of a superyacht without the formality. The Oasis Deck concept—a recessed pool surrounded by fold-out wings at the stern—turns the lower deck into a beach club that rivals anything you'd find on land. It's not about showing off. It's about having the space to disappear when you want to and host 14 people when you don't.
Who It's For
This is a yacht for the owner who has already done the 150-footer and realized they need more room, not more crew. The B.NOW 67M is designed for families or groups who actually use the boat. You're not chartering this out. You're taking your kids, their friends, and maybe a few business partners to the Amalfi Coast for two weeks in July.
The layout supports that. Seven guest cabins. A full-beam owner's suite on the upper deck with a private terrace and pool. A main deck salon that opens completely to the aft deck. The Oasis Deck itself, which can expand from 36 feet to nearly 50 feet wide when the side wings deploy. You're not fighting for space. You're choosing which space you want.
This is also for the owner who cares about how a yacht is built. Steel hull. Aluminum superstructure. Benetti's E-Mode hybrid propulsion, which means you can run on electric power alone in harbors or anchorages. It's not a sailboat. But it's quieter and more efficient than most diesel-only yachts in this class.
Design & Layout: The Oasis Deck Changes Everything
The Oasis Deck is the reason this yacht exists. Most 220-foot yachts have a swim platform and maybe a beach club. The B.NOW 67M has a 1,500-square-foot outdoor living room at sea level. The pool is recessed into the deck, with a glass front that makes it look like an infinity edge. The side wings fold out hydraulically, adding another 15 feet of beam on each side. You can fit 20 people back there comfortably.
Above that, the main deck is one continuous space. The salon has floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides. The aft deck has a dining table for 14. There's no separation. You open the sliding doors and it's all one room. This is how you use a yacht in the Mediterranean. Not hiding inside with the air conditioning on.
The owner's deck is where Benetti separated this from the rest of the fleet. Full-beam suite. Walk-in closet. His-and-hers bathrooms. A private office. And the terrace, which is 600 square feet with a pool, sunbeds, and a bar. You can spend an entire day up there and never see another person on the yacht.
The upper deck has the observation lounge and another jacuzzi. Glass bulwarks. No obstructions. This is where you go at sunset with a drink and no agenda.
Performance: Hybrid Propulsion Means Freedom, Not Compromise
The B.NOW 67M is powered by two MAN V12 diesels, 1,650 horsepower each. Top speed is 16 knots. Cruise speed is 12 knots. Range is 4,500 nautical miles at 12 knots. That's Fort Lauderdale to the Azores without refueling. Or Monaco to the Maldives with one stop.
The E-Mode hybrid system is the real story. You have a battery bank that works in parallel with the main engines. In harbor, you can run on electric power alone. No generators. No noise. No diesel smell. You can anchor off Portofino and have dinner on the aft deck without the sound of machinery in the background.
Underway, the hybrid system reduces fuel consumption by up to 20 percent at cruise speed. That's not marketing. That's engineering. The batteries recharge while the main engines are running, so you're not sacrificing range or speed. You're just burning less fuel and making less noise.
The draft is 9 feet 9 inches (2.95 m). That's shallow for a 220-foot steel yacht. You can get into places that most superyachts can't. The Bahamas. The Greek islands. Anywhere with a decent anchorage and no marina.
Ownership Conversation: This Is a $60 Million Decision
The B.NOW 67M is not a budget yacht. You're looking at $55 million to $65 million depending on customization. Annual operating costs will run $4 million to $5 million. That includes crew, fuel, insurance, maintenance, and dockage. You need a crew of 13 to 17 depending on how you use the boat.
If you're owner-operated, meaning you're on board for 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. You need a captain, chief engineer, chef, chief steward, and deckhands. If you're entertaining, you need interior crew. If you're using the toys, you need a bosun and a deckhand who can handle tenders and water sports.
The hybrid system will save you money over time. Fuel costs are the second-largest operating expense after crew. If you're running 1,000 hours a year, the hybrid system will save you $200,000 to $300,000 annually in fuel. That's real money. It also extends engine life and reduces maintenance intervals.
Resale on Benetti yachts in this size range is strong. The brand has 150 years of history. The build quality is documented. The B.NOW series has won multiple design awards. 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.
Where to Start
The B.NOW 67M Oasis Deck is not for everyone. It's for the owner who wants space, flexibility, and the ability to use the yacht without a full crew standing by. If that's you, start with a conversation about layout. Benetti offers multiple configurations for the guest cabins and owner's suite. You can also customize the Oasis Deck with different pool sizes, bar setups, and seating arrangements.
