Marking Benetti's sixth hull in its multi-award-winning B.Now 50m series, the 50m (164ft) superyacht ALUNYA, previously known as Project FB606, has been launched at the shipyard's Livorno facilities.

Promising to redefine the concept of luxury and provide her guests with close contact with the sea, superyacht ALUNYA is the second motor yacht in the series to feature the revolutionary Oasis Deck design which redefines the traditional B.Now stern.

The Oasis Deck concept brings a whole new level of connection to the water, offering guests breathtaking 270-degree views from the stern and a spacious beach club area encompassing an expansive 36 square meters. This remarkable space features hydraulic winged terraces on both port and starboard sides, extending the deck's width and offering a glass-walled infinity pool and various social areas.

Benetti's B.Now 50M series has become highly sought after by yacht enthusiasts, and superyacht ALUNYA is no exception. Commissioned by an experienced owner who desired a personalized touch, the superyacht showcases the owner's unique taste and preferences.

Characterized by a seamless indoor-outdoor layout, with her main saloon looking directly out onto the Oasis Deck, the yacht spans four decks in total with a beam of 9.2m (30ft). The renowned British design studio RWD took charge of the concept design and exterior styling, while the Italian studio PierLuigi Ausonio Naval Architecture was responsible for the naval architecture.

Sebastiano Fanizza, Chief Operating Officer at Benetti, expressed his excitement about the new launch stating, "The B.Now 50 model is certainly one of the most popular models in our history, and the addition of the Oasis Deck made it possible to offer new options to all owners who enjoy close contact with the sea."

Accommodating up to 10 guests across five suites, superyacht ALUNYA offers a spacious owner's suite on the main deck, complete with a study area, large ensuite, and a private terrace. The remaining guest staterooms are situated on the lower deck, ensuring maximum comfort and privacy. The yacht also features six additional cabins for a 10-person crew, including the captain.

In terms of amenities, the luxury superyacht boasts ample space for tenders and toys, ingeniously concealed within the bow. This includes a 5.65m tender which is easily deployed and retrieved through a hydraulically operated hatch starboard, Jet Skis, and a plethora of the latest water sports equipment.

Superyacht ALUNYA is scheduled to be delivered to her owner at the end of July 2023, when they will embark on their maiden voyage immediately.

For those wanting to catch a glimpse of the superyacht, she will make her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023 which will mark the very first time that the B.Now 50m Oasis Deck series will be showcased to a global audience, alongside the first hull from the Benetti B.Now Series, 50m (164ft) superyacht IRYNA.
