Orenda

Builder: Benetti
Length: 40.8 metres
Price: €23,950,000

This is hull number 16 of the successful Benetti Oasis 40 series, built in GRP and delivered in 2024 in Italy to designs by RWD and Bonetti / Kozerski. Opening side bulwarks aft make for a large entertainment platform, its glass-backed infinity pool being complemented by a Jacuzzi up top. She is under full shipyard warranty. The owner's cabin sports a large shower that converts to a Turkish bath. Orenda sleeps a party of 12 to 14. Richard Gray at IYC is the broker.

Kasif

Builder: Bilgin Yachts
Length: 41.9 metres
Price: €20,900,000

Delivered from Turkish yard Bilgin Yachts in 2023, Kasif was designed by Unique Yacht Design with interior by the renowned Hot Lab of Italy. Organic shapes snake through her interior, from sofas to deckheads, and a highlight is the teak-lined beach club aft, leading out to an extra-long swim platform. A party of 10 guests are accommodated, the master being "oversized" according to the brokers. Kasif has a 5,000-mile range. Josh Gulbranson and Jan Jaap Minnema at Fraser are the brokers.

Tosun

Builder: Benetti
Length: 40.8 metres
Price: €22,500,000

The eighth unit of the Benetti Oasis 40 series was delivered in 2022, whose first model one won a World Superyacht Award in 2021, is newly listed for the Cannes show. The beach club is her standout feature with fold-down terraces and a hydraulic bathing platform makes the water safely accessible for everyone. Tosun accommodates 10 guests in five cabins including a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck. Two VIP cabins plus a double and twin cabin are found on the lower deck. Peter Brown and Thibault Roi at Burgess are ready to give you a tour.

Halara

Builder: Overmarine
Length: 43 metres
Price: €20,900,000

Halara is built of steel and has crossed the Atlantic five times on her own bottom. She is listed for sale with Fraser, and the broker added that she has a "proper, well-laid-out beach club". This sunken lounge space has three steps up to an aft platform where reclining deck furniture may be positioned. An infinity pool on the foredeck – forward of large sunpads – as well as a large skylounge and excellent sundeck make for fun guest experiences aboard with "proven charter potential". Sleeping an owner's party of 10, Halara boasts a full-beam master cabin with a fold-out side balcony – perfect for a private cocktail or breakfast.

Willow

Builder: Benetti
Length: 42 metres
Price: €18,950,000

One of the latest in the Veloce series, the GRP-constructed Italian yacht, styled by Stefano Righini, is refreshingly clean and bright, sporting white marble soles, white upholsery, white bulkheads, white marble bathrooms and white deckheads. Willow sports a 6.5-metre Williams JetTender, finished in white. A foredeck sun lounge area has good views of the Jacuzzi towards the bow and the horizon ahead. Contact Rupert Nelson at Burgess for a tour.

Asante

Builder: Custom Line
Length: 41.8 metres
Price: €17,900,000

The fifth hull in Ferretti Group's brand Custom Line Navetta 42 series, delivered in 2020 and just out of a refit, is for sale with Kevin Kramer and Eleonora Pitasso of Burgess. She has only been used lightly and sleeps 10 with the master cabin forward on the main deck. Elegant lines and design by Zuccon International Project are exquisitely detailed, from her gaming table to Jacuzzi. 

Fox

Builder: Pendennis
Length: 34.9 metres
Price: €18,000,000

Delivered in 2024 from Pendennis Shipyard in the UK, Fox is a proper compact explorer yacht with a "muscular and practical, almost military" exterior design. The name Fox, Robert Were Fox the Younger, has associations with the yard's town of Falmouth. The 19th-century scientist designed a compass that measured magnetic dip at sea in high latitudes. Fox's large aft deck can carry two 7.5-metre tenders, amphibious craft and submersibles. Ten guests or scientists can rest in five cabins, when not exploring the glass-walled family room, DJ station or BBQ, between dives. Burgess is the broker. 


EH2

Builder: Benetti
Length: 36.8 metres
Price: €17,500,000

Over five decades of Motopanfilo evolution went into the design of this 10-guest, five-cabin "piece of art", combining "history with a distinctive fresh interpretation of luxury cruising and lifestyle", according to Ocean Independence's Lukas Stratmann, who added that "a standout feature is the smooth 1960s clamshell silhouette of the beach club zone, which employs modern technology for access, with an integrated stern swim platform / terrace". Interior design is by Lazzarini & Pickering. EH2 sports an observation deck up top.
