The House of Yachting returns to Doha for the second edition of the Qatar Boat Show, held from November 5 to 8, 2025, confirming the strategic role of the Middle East and the growing interest in custom yachts built by Benetti.
Following its successful debut in 2024, Benetti will once again be taking part in the Qatar Boat Show 2025. This strengthens its presence in the Gulf area, which continues to be one of the most dynamic and strategic for the Shipyard that has been synonymous with manufacturing excellence in the world of yachting for over 150 years.
The Middle East is now one of the world’s most dynamic markets, especially in the large and full-custom yachts segment. The key to the Shipyard's success in this area is in fact its extraordinary expertise in customisation: each project is the result of a creative process that combines innovation, engineering, design and superlative craftsmanship, in a process of continuous liaison with the owner. This is confirmed by the numerous full-custom yachts successfully built in recent years for various owners in the Gulf.
Benetti’s attendance of the Doha show will therefore be an opportunity to confirm the brand's manufacturing excellence and present the new projects in its fleet.
Oasis 42M – This is the new flagship of the iconic Oasis fibreglass series featuring the Oasis Deck®, the patented system with fold-out side terraces designed by RDW for Benetti. In this version the aft lounge area occupies over 100 square metres, incorporating an infinity pool with a retractable cover that creates a fluid continuum between inside and outside. The interiors designed by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture create a light-filled, contemporary retreat, where natural materials and textured surfaces interact with the light reflected off the water.
B.Now 52M – This is the natural evolution of the successful B.Now 50M steel concept, of which a record 21 units have been sold to date. Featuring an Oasis Deck® in the stern that's 30% larger than the previous version, totalling 130 square metres, it has an expanded, completely redesigned swimming pool that incorporates a retractable cover system, allowing the area to be converted into a magical platform on the water. But the real heart of the project is on the Main Deck: 48 metres of seamless space that starts at the main salon door, offering a rare sense of depth as well as an uninterrupted view all the way to the panoramic bow terrace. The new layout – designed by RWD – brings the external corridor indoors, conveying the sensation of having the sea on board thanks to the huge side windows. On the Upper Deck, the elimination of the external staircase up to the terrace creates a new area entirely reserved for the owner: 110 square metres split between the master cabin and the private terrace.
B.Loft 58M – Unveiled in a world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show, this is one of Benetti's most contemporary architectural visions. Designed to suggest the language of important villas and contemporary lofts, this model reinterprets the yacht as a place of well-being and social interaction, with double-height ceilings, panoramic windows, and visual continuity between the interiors and exteriors. The onboard experience begins with the Cabana Deck™, an area at the water’s edge designed to revolutionise the beach club concept again. The side wings swing out to form a 120-square-metre, 15.5-metre-wide bathing platform, creating an indoor and outdoor space on the water where the light reflected from the swimming pool on the terrace above filters through the clear ceiling into this convivial and relaxing setting.
