Benetti superyacht LADY SARAH delivered ahead of 2027 charter debut

The delivery marks the conclusion of a journey that began not with a yacht purchase, but with years of Mediterranean yacht charters.

After viewing multiple yachts during the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival, the owner selected Benetti's Oasis 40M platform, appointing a project management team to oversee the build and transform the production yacht into a highly bespoke family cruiser.

According to those close to the owner, the project showcases how a long-standing charter relationship evolved into full yacht ownership. After identifying the Oasis 40M as the ideal platform, the owner worked closely with Fraser's project management division throughout construction. 

Following her inaugural private Mediterranean season with her owner, superyacht LADY SARAH will become available for charter from summer 2027.

Although based on Benetti's proven platform already seen in the fleet of Oasis 40M yachts for charter, LADY SARAH has been extensively personalized to reflect her owner's lifestyle and preferences.

Naval architecture comes from Benetti, while the interiors were designed by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture. Designer Leonardo Santi curated the yacht's interiors, introducing bespoke finishes including extensive natural marble, distinctive bronze detailing throughout, and carefully selected furnishings from Capital Collection, Minotti, Rugiano, and SoftHouse, complemented by bespoke styling from Bergomi Interiors.

The result is a motor yacht charter that delivers the benefits of an established production platform while offering a distinctly custom atmosphere throughout her guest spaces.

With more details due to be unveiled at a later date, luxury yacht LADY SARAH accommodates up to 10 guests across five cabins, attended by a professional crew of nine. Her outdoor lifestyle features generous deck spaces, complete with a sundeck Jacuzzi, exterior bar, sunpads, bathing platform, and multiple areas for alfresco dining and relaxation.

Modern comforts include Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and stabilizers both underway and at anchor, ensuring a comfortable experience whether cruising or enjoying long days at anchor along the French Riviera.

Powered by twin MAN engines, the future Benetti yacht charter can cruise comfortably at 12 knots and offers an impressive 4,000-nautical-mile range, while her relatively shallow 2.14m draft allows access to picturesque bays and anchorages that the largest yachts for charter often cannot reach.

Before joining the charter fleet, LADY SARAH will spend her first season privately exploring the Mediterranean and Red Sea, giving her owner the opportunity to enjoy the yacht before opening her calendar to charter guests.

From summer 2027, the new Benetti Oasis 40M will officially enter the luxury charter market, offering guests the opportunity to experience one of the latest additions to Benetti's successful Oasis series, combining contemporary design, long-range cruising capability, and a highly bespoke interior created specifically for life on the water.

Some charter destinations and exclusive beach clubs and restaurants book up months in advance, so now is a great time to plan ahead for your 2027 summer escape to the Med. Offering a chance to experience a brand new superyacht on her inaugural charter season, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
