Benetti's third Oasis 34M, Aitana, debuts at Cannes at $160,000 a week

A third Oasis hull, and a debut timed for the show

Benetti delivered Aitana, a 34.36-metre Oasis 34M, in July 2026, and YachtCharterFleet confirmed on 4 August that she will make her public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, running 8 to 13 September, before starting a Western Mediterranean charter season the same month. She is the third Oasis 34M to enter the charter market, following the model's own debut at Cannes in 2023 - a detail that matters more to a charterer than it looks, since three hulls chartering successfully is the closest thing this segment has to a track record.

FGI Yacht Group placed her, and lists a weekly rate of USD 160,000 plus expenses. That is a real, quoted number rather than a guide price, which puts Aitana squarely alongside conventional 34 to 36-metre motor yachts on rate - the difference she is selling is not more boat for the money, but a different kind of week aboard her.

The numbers: twin MTU diesels, 11 guests, and a deck built to be outdoors

Aitana runs on twin MTU diesels - SuperYacht24's July report on her delivery names a maximum speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 14.5 knots, figures that come from Benetti and have not yet been independently tested. She sleeps 11 guests across five cabins, with a crew of seven aboard to run her, and the hull carries a 7.70-metre beam, generous for her length and part of what makes the signature deck possible. Benetti built the naval architecture in-house, which keeps the hull, the tankage and the deck engineering under one roof rather than split across a separate architecture firm and the yard, a common source of delay on a semi-custom line still finding its production rhythm.

That deck is the Oasis Deck, the feature the whole model is designed around: a glass-walled infinity pool set low at the stern behind a glass aft bulkhead, flanked by sunbeds and an open cockpit with retractable bulwarks that fold the sides away entirely. Curved patio doors run the width of the transom, giving 270-degree sightlines that tie the interior saloon to the water rather than screening it off - the layout choice RWD, the exterior studio, and interior architects Bonetti/Kozerski built the rest of the yacht around, not a feature bolted onto a conventional flybridge hull.

What a week aboard actually buys

At USD 160,000 a week plus expenses, a charterer is paying for the deck and the layout it enables rather than for outright size: an 11-guest, five-cabin yacht at 34 metres is a mid-pack length for the bracket, and 16 knots is a modest top speed next to a sportier flybridge yacht at the same price. What she offers instead is a stern that functions as a beach club at anchor for the whole week, not just at the marina - the kind of amenity a family or group charterer weighs more heavily than an extra knot of speed or an extra metre of length.

The Western Mediterranean season she is entering, from September, is the shoulder end of the summer charter calendar, which typically means softer demand and more negotiating room on a quoted rate than a peak-July or August week would carry. Nothing in the reporting on Aitana states whether USD 160,000 is a fixed or a low-season figure, so a charterer should treat it as a starting point to confirm with the agent rather than a fixed price. FGI Yacht Group, the central agent placing her, is also the firm credited with her delivery, which puts booking and technical questions through a single contact rather than a split between a sales broker and a separate charter desk.

Three hulls in, the Oasis line has a track record

The Oasis 34M itself debuted at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival and went on to a US debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show the same year, built around the same low-set infinity pool and retractable-bulwark cockpit Aitana now carries. Two hulls preceded her into charter service before this delivery, which means Benetti has now sold and delivered three examples of a design that puts an entertaining deck ahead of interior volume or outright pace - a genuine data point on demand for the format, not just a one-off show boat.

That matters to an owner weighing a similar commission as much as it does to a charterer: a semi-custom line that reaches a third hull without changing its core layout is a design the market has validated rather than one still finding its buyer. Benetti has not published how many further Oasis 34M hulls are in build or under option beyond Aitana.

What has not been published yet

Benetti has not released a fuel capacity or range figure specific to Aitana, and the closest public claim - a 2023 preview from Motor Boat and Yachting describing the Oasis 34M as capable of an Atlantic crossing at a 10-knot cruise - predates this hull, is unsourced to a tank figure, and has not been confirmed against the delivered boat's own cruising speed of 14.5 knots reported in July. A charterer planning anything beyond a Mediterranean season should ask FGI Yacht Group for the actual number rather than rely on the model's original preview coverage.

No independent charter review of Aitana exists yet, and none can: her first paying week is still weeks away in September, after her Cannes debut. Every performance and layout claim in this story traces back to Benetti's own material or to the brokers marketing her, repeated by YachtCharterFleet and SuperYacht24 without an outside test - ordinary for a yacht two months from her first charter guest, but worth stating plainly rather than dressing a builder's brochure up as a verdict.
