The Benetti B.NOW 50M is a 50-metre full-displacement superyacht that represents the pinnacle of Benetti’s semi-custom programme. Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she offers nearly 500 GT of volume, delivering the space and capability of a much larger vessel within a manageable footprint.
Powered by twin MAN V12 engines producing 1,400 horsepower each, the B.NOW 50M reaches 15 knots and cruises at 13.5 knots. With 60,000 litres of fuel, she achieves a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles, making her equally at home in the Mediterranean and on extended ocean passages.
Exterior design by RWD (Redman Whiteley Dixon) gives the B.NOW 50M a contemporary, balanced profile with generous outdoor areas across three decks. Interiors by the Benetti Style Department create elegant, customisable living spaces. Six staterooms accommodate twelve guests, attended by a crew of ten. The B.NOW platform offers owners the rare combination of bespoke customisation, proven Benetti build quality, and genuine global cruising range.

Four thousand five hundred nautical miles. That is not a cruising range, it is a licence to go anywhere.
Twin MAN V12 engines, rated at 1,400 horsepower each, drive her to a top speed of 15 knots with a cruising speed of 13.5. Modest by planing yacht standards, but that is the trade she makes for genuine autonomy. A 60,000 litre fuel capacity underwrites the figure, and her full displacement steel hull, engineered by P.L.A.N.A., carries that weight efficiently rather than fighting it. For an owner planning an Atlantic crossing or a season spent moving between distant cruising grounds without constant refuelling stops, this is the number that matters most.
A sharply raked bow and tall, upright glazing on the bridge deck give the B.NOW 50M a profile that reads as purposeful rather than decorative.
RWD’s exterior design wraps nearly 500 gross tonnes across three decks without the silhouette ever feeling heavy, the topsides broken up by sculpted panel lines that keep the eye moving rather than settling on one long slab of steel. An optional Oasis Deck transforms the aft main deck into an open beach club, complete with a plunge pool and a wide swim platform that puts the sea at the centre of life on board. Nearly two thirds of the sun deck sits under hardtop protection, giving owners shade without losing the open air feel that defines the range. The result is a yacht that looks every one of her 50 metres, in the best sense.
Six cabins, twelve guests, and a full beam owner’s suite that claims the best address on board.
The owner’s stateroom sits forward on the main deck, running the full beam of the yacht with a dressing room, a forward facing king berth and a marble bathroom finished with a freestanding tub. Five further cabins, arranged across the lower and bridge decks, accommodate the remaining guests in a mix of doubles and convertible twins. Interior space planning comes from RWD working alongside Benetti’s own design department, with decor built around oak joinery, marble and leather in a calm, contemporary register. A crew of ten keeps service running at a standard that matches the scale of the yacht.
Three decks of outdoor living give the B.NOW 50M more usable deck space than her length suggests.
The bridge deck carries a forward sunbathing terrace and alfresco dining, while the sun deck above adds a wet bar, sun loungers and a hot tub beneath generous shade. Aft, the optional beach club deck opens the yacht almost to the waterline, with multilevel terraces and fold down wing decks that widen the usable footprint dramatically at anchor. Storage forward holds tenders and water toys clear of the guest areas, while a dedicated space below decks keeps paddleboards, kayaks and diving gear out of sight until needed. Life aboard moves easily between all three levels.
A semi-custom platform with more than twenty hulls ordered, the B.NOW 50M is a proven proposition rather than an unknown quantity.
Built in steel and aluminium, she measures 49.9 metres in length on a 9.2 metre beam, displacing 499 gross tonnes with a 2.6 metre draught. Naval architecture by P.L.A.N.A. and exterior design by RWD give her a coherent, modern identity across the range, and Benetti builds to a delivery pace faster than the industry average, a genuine advantage for owners keen to take delivery sooner rather than later. With accommodation for twelve guests and ten crew, and a price that reflects her semi-custom scope, she suits an owner seeking true ocean range without stepping into full custom build territory.
