HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH is a Benetti Oasis 40M, delivered in 2023, and she is built around one clear idea: bring the guests down to the water. The Oasis line took the usual layered superyacht and opened its stern into a wide beach club with fold down terraces and a pool, so the busiest part of the day happens at sea level rather than three decks up. At just under 41 metres on an 8.5 metre beam she has the volume to sleep ten in real comfort while keeping the easy, relaxed feel the concept was designed for.
Ten guests sleep in five cabins. The owner takes a full beam suite forward on the main deck, a wide bed with windows close on both sides, a seating corner and a private bathroom, a room with the light and the volume of a proper stateroom. Below are a VIP double, further guest doubles and a twin, each with an ensuite, a layout that reads equally well for one family or for couples travelling together. What sets her apart is the crew: nine professionals for ten guests is a service ratio usually found on much larger yachts, and it shows in the way a charter week runs.
The main deck living space is bright and social. The salon gathers around low sofas and swivel chairs on a soft rug, pale timber and cream with glass down both sides and full doors aft that slide open to the shaded deck, so the room joins the sea when she is at anchor. A round dining table sits within the same space under a soft lit ceiling, and a quieter skylounge on the upper deck gives the group a second inside room with its own media wall, a place to break away from the main salon without leaving the party behind.
Outside is where she earns her keep. The aft beach club is the heart of the yacht, a pool set into a wide deck with terraces that fold down to the sea on both sides, cushioned seating around the water and the swim platform and toys close by. Above it the main aft deck carries deep sofas and a shaded dining table, the upper deck opens out with sun loungers and a bar, and the foredeck stays private for anyone who wants to be away from the group with nothing ahead but open water. It is a lot of usable outdoor space, arranged so the whole group is never far apart.
A tender and a full spread of watersports gear come with the yacht, launched off the beach club for a day spent in the water rather than beside it. The stabilised, semi-displacement hull keeps her quiet and level at anchor and on passage, which suits the unhurried way the Oasis line is meant to be used, moving between anchorages at an easy pace and lying comfortably once the anchor is down. As a 2023 delivery she presents as a current yacht in every detail, from the systems to the finish.
Her home waters are among the best in the Mediterranean for a yacht built around swimming and the beach club. She works the Greek islands through the summer, from the Cyclades to the Ionian, and ranges north into Croatia and the Adriatic, where the water is clear and the anchorages come one after another. With her deck space, her pool and her generous crew, HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH suits a family or a group of friends who want a week built around the sea, with the yacht as the base rather than just transport between towns.
