ALPHA WAVES is a 40.5-metre Benetti Oasis motor yacht that has revolutionised the very idea of a luxury charter, a striking, fully accessible superyacht that redefines what luxury can and should look like. Delivered in 2023, she is the only yacht Benetti has built to be truly handi-capable without sacrificing design or aesthetic, making the magic of yachting possible for every guest. Her exterior styling by the award-winning British studio RWD combines classic English lines with Italian perfection, while her light-filled interior by the New York firm Bonetti and Kozerski Architecture brings a fresh, Zen-inspired take on yacht design centred on natural light and ultra-high-quality furnishings and finishes. Accessibility was never an afterthought aboard ALPHA WAVES: an ADA-compliant elevator services the main deck through to the sundeck, her tender and flat-bottom boats are wheelchair-friendly, and step-free access runs across the key spaces, making her especially suited to multi-generational groups and guests who require mobility-friendly accommodation without compromising style. Life aboard blends the indoors and outdoors through an open-plan layout and panoramic windows. The main salon is a lovely, informal place to gather, with stylish circular sofas framed by bright windows that maximise light and views, a full bar and uninterrupted sightlines to the sea. A dedicated wellness and gym area forward encourages guests to carve out time for themselves, and its equipment can be swapped for accessible fitness gear on request. Her defining exterior feature is the sprawling beach club, a multifunctional space offering 90 square metres of openness with a glass-sided infinity pool and fold-down balcony terraces that, when lowered, extend the deck to eleven metres. The expansive sundeck features plenty of sunpads, an alfresco dining table for 10, a bar, a dedicated lounging area and a luxurious circular Jacuzzi, while the foredeck offers a quieter, more private alternative. Accommodation is arranged for 10 guests across five suites. The main-deck owner’s suite is a private oasis with a king-size bed, a private sitting area, stunning his-and-hers en-suite bathrooms and its own outdoor balcony. The additional accommodation comprises two king-size VIP suites and two twin cabins, one of which converts for versatility, all with luxurious en-suite bathrooms clad in white marble that lend each a spa-like feel. Her standout crew of nine are experts in creating lasting memories: ALPHA WAVES is a PADI-certified Dive Center with Master and Instructor level divers on board, an approved RYA watersports centre, and she carries a rich toy inventory including a 40-foot Invincible catamaran chase boat, jet skis, e-foils, Seabobs, kite-surf gear, paddleboards and kayaks. Whether guests seek adventure, relaxation or celebration, ALPHA WAVES delivers an experience as versatile and unforgettable as the yacht herself, cruising the Mediterranean in summer and the Bahamas and Caribbean in winter. With a 4,000-nautical-mile range and a comfortable 13-knot cruise, ALPHA WAVES pairs genuine long-range capability with an inclusive, thoughtful design philosophy that sets her apart in the 40-metre class. She is especially suited to multi-generational groups or guests requiring step-free, mobility-friendly accommodation, without ever compromising on style or access to the very best of life on the water. Available through Northrop and Johnson.
