The small voyager of the B.Yond line
B.Yond is Benetti's most eco-conscious range, built around hybrid propulsion and genuine long-distance capability. The 40M is its compact model, a 39.9-metre steel and aluminium yacht that carries the explorer character of the family in an accessible size. She brings the range's thinking into a more resolved and more efficient package for a wider set of owners. For buyers drawn to the family but wanting a smaller platform, she is the natural entry point. Her purpose is written into every line.
Her whole reason for being is serious cruising with a light footprint. The steel hull and long range give her the reach of a much larger yacht, while the hybrid system keeps her clean and quiet. She is designed to voyage and to stay away for a long time, not simply to pose at a marina. That intent shapes her hull, her tankage and her systems. She is an explorer at heart wrapped in a refined superyacht body.
Lobanov lines and a glass-bottomed pool
Lobanov Design drew the exterior, giving the 40M a distinctive, sculptural profile that stands out among conventional displacement yachts. The lines are purposeful and a little unexpected, marking her as something more adventurous than the norm. A beam of 8.6 metres gives the decks real usable width for lounging and dining. The look is modern and confident without any hint of coldness. She has a presence that reads as capable and self-contained.
The showpiece is an eight-square-metre infinity pool with a glass bottom set on the aft deck. Swimmers float above a pane that lets light down to the deck below, and the pool spills towards the sea beyond its edge. It gives the aft deck a genuine wow moment when the anchor is down and the sun is high. Around it, the outdoor spaces are arranged for long, easy days spent in warm water. A maximum draught of 2.7 metres keeps her seakindly while opening a wide choice of anchorages.

A calm interior for ten
Bonetti Kozerski Architecture handled the interior, bringing the same serene, natural sensibility seen elsewhere in their Benetti work. Ten guests are accommodated across five cabins, with a full-beam owner's suite at the heart of the layout. The mood is quiet and textural, a restful counterpoint to the yacht's adventurous exterior. Living spaces connect easily to the decks and the sea beyond, keeping guests in touch with their surroundings. It is an interior built for long stays, not just short hops.
A crew of nine in six cabins supports extended voyages without strain on service. The layout is built for people who stay aboard for weeks at a time and cover real distance between stops. Finishes are high without being showy, in keeping with the yacht's understated confidence. Natural materials and soft light make the interior a calm place to return to after a day outdoors. She feels like a proper home for long trips off the beaten track.
E-Mode hybrid, engineered with Siemens Energy
At the heart of the 40M is the E-Mode Hybrid System, developed in partnership with Siemens Energy, offering four navigation modes including full electric. Benetti reports cuts of up to 24 per cent in fuel use and carbon emissions, and up to 85 per cent in NOx. Under electric power she can enter a bay in silence with no exhaust and almost no vibration. Range reaches 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots, enough for genuine ocean crossings. The technology is built to match how owners really cruise.
That combination of long range and clean running is the real point of the yacht. She can cross oceans on her own bottom, then arrive and cruise sensitive waters quietly and cleanly. The hybrid modes let the crew balance efficiency and silence to suit the moment and the setting. For an owner, she pairs conscience with genuine capability in a way few yachts her size manage. She is engineered to keep going, softly.
For the owner who wants to go further, cleaner
The B.Yond 40M suits an owner who wants to travel widely with a smaller environmental footprint. She rewards buyers who value silence, self-sufficiency and the freedom of a long-range hull. The explorer character appeals to those planning itineraries well beyond the usual summer circuit. This is a yacht for the curious owner with somewhere further to go. She turns ambitious cruising plans into realistic ones.
She also works for a family that wants adventure without giving up refinement or the pleasure of a glass-bottomed pool at sunset. As the compact B.Yond, she offers the range's technology and character at a more manageable size than the 57M. For a buyer weighing conscience against capability, she answers both without compromise. Her mix of reach, quiet and comfort is rare at 40 metres. She is built to keep going.

What owners and crew report
Too new for any owner or crew account
The first B.Yond 40M is not expected to deliver before 2027, and the Limited Edition anniversary version announced in 2024 carries the same build timeline. No hull has been handed over yet, so nothing found for this page is an owner, captain or independent sea-trial account - only Benetti's own specification and launch material.

What is good, and what to watch
Strong points
- A real hybrid system, not a marketing labelThe E-Mode system was engineered with Siemens Energy and gives four distinct navigation modes including full electric, with Benetti quoting up to 24% lower fuel burn and CO2 and up to 85% lower NOx - specific figures from a named engineering partner, not a vague 'eco' claim.
- Range built for actually going somewhere5,000nm at 10 knots, stretching to 8,200nm at 9 knots in the hybrid system's Eco Transfer mode, is ocean-crossing range in a 40-metre hull - the whole point of the B.Yond family.
- A genuine design signature, not a scaled-down flagshipIgor Lobanov's exterior gives her a distinct, sculptural profile rather than a shrunk copy of the 57M, and the glass-bottomed infinity pool is a real point of difference on an aft deck this size.
What to watch
- No published engine, generator, thruster, watermaker or tankage figuresNeither Benetti's own model page nor the brokerage listings carrying her found for this page state main engine make, model or power, generator sets, stabiliser type, thruster sizing, watermaker capacity, or fuel and water tank volumes - unusually thin for a yacht this far into pre-sale marketing.
- Price is on application everywhereEvery listing found, from Benetti's own dealer network to independent brokers, quotes the B.Yond 40M price on application with no published figure or even a bracket to compare against rivals like the Sanlorenzo SD132.
- Built for range and comfort, not speedThe steel-hulled, displacement-leaning B.Yond family is pitched by Benetti and by brokers against comfort-and-range rivals such as the Sanlorenzo SD132, Mangusta 132 and Cantiere delle Marche RJ130 - an owner wanting a fast planing 40-metre is shopping the wrong range.
Practical detail
| Price | On application from Benetti and every broker listing found for this page - no published figure. |
|---|---|
| Delivery | First hull not expected before 2027; the 150th-anniversary Limited Edition version, announced 2024, carries a 12-month order window and the same build timeline. |
| Range | 5,000nm at 10 knots on conventional power; 8,200nm at 9 knots in the E-Mode hybrid system's Eco Transfer mode. |
| Guests and crew | 10 guests in 5 cabins (four on the main deck plus a full-beam owner's suite); 9 crew in 6 cabins. |
| What is not published | Main engine make/model/power, generator sets, stabilisers, thrusters, watermaker capacity, fuel and water tank volumes, and price - normal for a yacht this far ahead of delivery, but a genuine gap against a buyer's checklist. |
