The compact start of the B.Now family

B.Now is Benetti's flexible steel displacement range, offered from 52 to 72 metres and built around a choice of stern configurations. The 52M is the newest and smallest member, opening the family at just over 51 metres of length. She brings full steel-yacht capability into a size that many owners find more manageable. For buyers drawn to the range but wanting to start smaller, she is the door into the family. Her scale keeps her approachable without giving up substance.

The B.Now idea centres on choice, with a traditional aft-deck version and the trademarked Oasis Deck available across the range. On the 52M, Benetti leads with the Oasis Deck as the defining feature of the yacht. That flexibility lets buyers shape the yacht to how they actually live once the anchor is down. She is a steel Benetti built from the outset to be personalised to her owner. The result is a platform that suits very different lives aboard.

The Oasis Deck as an open-air stage

RWD shaped the exterior, giving the 52M clean, modern lines and a confident, well-balanced stance. The Oasis Deck transforms the aft of the yacht into an expansive open-air stage, with fold-out wings that widen the space and open the views to the sea. At its centre sits a pool, with room for dining for twelve close to the water. It is the social heart of the boat, where the day tends to gather. The transformation from cruising mode to open deck is quick and dramatic.

A beam of nine metres supports generous deck areas throughout her length. The fold-out configuration brings guests down towards the waterline in a way fixed transoms cannot manage. Sun, shade and swimming are all within a few steps of one another on the aft deck. The layout is arranged to draw everyone aft when the anchor drops and the day settles. She is a yacht designed around life at anchor in warm water.

The newest and smallest B.Now: full steel capability with the Oasis Deck as its open-air stage.

A tailored interior by Valentina Zannier

The interior comes from Valentina Zannier, giving the 52M a personal, considered look inside. She accommodates twelve guests across a layout of six cabins, generous for a yacht of this size. The owner is well provided for, with the volume of a steel hull put to good use throughout. The interior balances comfort with the flexibility the range is known for, ready to be shaped to taste. It feels substantial and welcoming from the moment you step below.

A crew of ten in six cabins keeps her running smoothly through long charters or private seasons. The steel hull yields the kind of interior volume that lighter builds cannot match at this length. Finishes are tailored to the owner within Benetti's semi-custom approach, so no two boats feel the same. The extra space of a steel yacht shows in the ceiling heights and the generous cabins. She feels settled and solid underfoot.

Steel capability with real range

The 52M is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the recipe Benetti uses across the range from 50 metres upward. Twin MAN V12 engines provide the power, driving a displacement hull tuned for comfort at cruising speeds. Benetti quotes a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 10 knots, enough for extended cruising and ocean passages. She is built to travel widely and comfortably without a heavy fuel burden. Her engineering favours calm, quiet miles.

The steel construction brings robustness and the interior volume that owners of this size expect. Her displacement hull rewards patient cruising with a soft, stable ride in most conditions. Range and autonomy let her plan itineraries well beyond a single cruising ground each season. For an owner, she offers full steel-yacht substance in a compact and manageable form. She makes long-range cruising feel unforced.

For the owner stepping up to steel

The B.Now 52M suits an owner moving from fibreglass into their first serious steel yacht. She rewards buyers who want volume, range and the ability to shape the yacht to their own life aboard. The Oasis Deck appeals to those who see the stern as the centre of the day at anchor. This is a natural first steel Benetti for a growing owner. She makes the step up feel comfortable, not daunting.

She also works for an owner who wants the newest thinking in the B.Now family at its most accessible size. As the entry model, she carries the range's flexibility and its signature deck concepts without the scale of the larger sisters. For a buyer weighing a big fibreglass yacht against a compact steel one, the 52M makes a strong case for steel. Her mix of volume, range and personalisation is hard to match at this length. She is a confident place to begin.

Who it is for: An owner stepping up to their first steel yacht who wants B.Now flexibility and the Oasis Deck in a compact size.
