NORTHERN ESCAPE is a 40.8-metre motor yacht built by Benetti as part of the Oasis 40M series, delivered in 2022. Designed by RWD with Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture interiors, the Oasis concept was conceived to dissolve the boundary between yacht and sea: an open aft deck with U-shaped sofa, teppanyaki grill, sun loungers, day beds and infinity pool connects directly to a swim platform with fold-down sea-level side terraces, creating a beach club that extends to the waterline.
The transformer platform is a particular innovation: lowered, it gives easy sea access; raised, it creates a dedicated diving platform above the water. Combined with the infinity pool and fold-down bulwarks, NORTHERN ESCAPE offers one of the most genuinely connected-to-the-sea aft decks of any 40-metre motor yacht.
For families, a flexible main-deck cabin combines as a bunk room for children or as a wellness and gym space, giving genuine multi-generational versatility. Twelve guests sleep across five staterooms (master, two VIPs, two convertible twins with Pullmans) plus the extra bunk room, with a crew of eight. 4,000nm range.
The main deck aft of Northern Escape is the primary outdoor social space: a covered area with comfortable built-in seating, a barbecue or teppanyaki grill, a dining table and a natural connection to the swim platform. Whether for casual lunches or formal dinners under the stars, this deck delivers atmosphere and practicality in equal measure.
The main salon of Northern Escape is the centrepiece of the interior: a generous open-plan living and dining area that uses carefully chosen materials, furniture and lighting to create a space that feels both refined and genuinely comfortable. Large windows ensure natural light throughout the day, and the flow between the salon and the aft deck makes indoor-outdoor living effortless for every guest.
The master suite of Northern Escape occupies the best position on the yacht for privacy and natural light. A king-sized bed, ample storage, sitting area, private terrace or balcony, his-and-hers dressing facilities and a premium stone en-suite bathroom with both shower and bath create a private retreat comparable to the finest suite in any five-star hotel.
The sun deck of Northern Escape is crowned by an infinity pool set amid sunbeds, a barbecue, a well-stocked bar and 360-degree sea views. It is simultaneously one of the most impressive features of the exterior design and one of the most practical, turning every afternoon at anchor into a memorable event for every guest aboard.
The sky lounge of Northern Escape is the social nerve-centre above the main salon: a versatile space with plush sofas, a bar and entertainment system that transitions between a relaxed daytime lounge and a lively evening gathering spot. Its panoramic windows make it equally popular for morning coffee and pre-dinner cocktails.
The 5 staterooms of Northern Escape accommodate 12 guests overnight in surroundings that match the quality of the master suite in materials and detail. Several cabins convert between double and twin configuration, and all are equipped with en-suite bathroom, ample storage, individual climate control and full entertainment systems.
