Benetti has announced the delivery of XWave, the fifteenth hull in its successful B.Now 50M series. Sold in 2022 by Burgess, the project was supported throughout construction by both the New Build Sales and Burgess Technical Services teams, who provided full commercial and technical expertise during the build.
The yacht features an exterior by British studio RWD and is equipped with Benetti’s signature Oasis Deck® – a transformative aft concept that combines a broad swim platform with fold-down sea terraces to create a 110-square-metre beach club, blurring the line between ocean and onboard living.
RWD Takes Interiors for the First Time
In a first for the series, RWD also handled the interior design of XWave. Amy Whitaker, lead designer on the project, described the collaboration as “an exciting journey,” noting how the interiors were created as a flexible canvas:
“The synergy we created with the clients and Benetti enabled us to develop a unique interior that acts as a canvas, designed to evolve over time with artwork and decorative objects.”
Custom Features
Alongside the Oasis Deck, XWave is fitted with a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi on the sundeck. Details of the owner’s customisation remain private, though Benetti confirms the layout prioritises a strong connection to the sea and open living.
A Growing Fleet
Construction of XWave began in 2023, and she now joins a growing fleet of B.Now 50M yachts cruising globally. According to Massimiliano Casoni, general manager at Benetti:
“Seven other B.Now 50M models are currently in build – a tangible demonstration of the success of this range.”
The B.Now series has proven itself as one of Benetti’s most in-demand platforms, balancing sleek exterior styling, versatile layouts, and the yard’s hallmark Italian craftsmanship.
