Benetti is hosting the world premiere of the Class 44M at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival (September 9-14), with the shipyard’s fibreglass flagship represented by hull one, Juno’s 7.

The Class 44M was designed inside and out by Cassetta Yacht Design, which collaborated with Benetti’s architectural team on the exterior lines, interiors and décor. The 144ft 7in superyacht is the successor to the Diamond 44M and is based on the same hull as the former model, which first launched in 2020 and was also designed by Giorgio Cassetta’s studio.

At the Super Yachts Extension in Vieux Port, Benetti will also show units from three of its most popular fibreglass models: the Oasis 40M (Cada Dia) and Oasis 34M (A+), as well as the Motopanfilo 37M (Angel), while also revealing an upcoming model.

Cada Dia is the 20^th unit in Benetti’s successful Oasis line, with both the 40M and 34M featuring exteriors by UK-based RWD and interiors by New York studio Bonetti & Kozerski. Among customisations on Cada Dia, the master suite is situated aft on the upper deck, “transforming it into a true private apartment with panoramic views”, while two spacious VIP cabins are located forward on the main deck.

The Oasis 34M is Benetti’s only sub-300GT model to feature the exclusive Oasis Deck®. On A+, standout features are the fold-down wings at the stern, which create a 76sqm flush platform integrated with the main saloon, “transforming the entire area into a true terrace overlooking the sea, usable at any time of day”.

Inspired by Benetti’s heritage, the Motopanfilo 37M features an exterior by Francesco Struglia in collaboration with Benetti, notable for the bronze ‘ribbon’ that connects the hull to the superstructure. Lazzarini Pickering Architetti handled the remarkable interiors, which are characterised by a ribbed structure running through the yacht, “reinterpreting classic nautical elements in a contemporary way”.
