Brokerage firm Edmiston has announced the sale of the second unit from Benetti's B.Yond 57M superyacht series. The 57-metre new build was sold with Charles Carveles representing the buyer and is scheduled for delivery in 2028.
The B.Yond 57M is the largest hybrid unit in the Italian shipyard's B.Yond range – some 17.1 metres longer than the B.Yond 40M – featuring exterior lines by Igor Lobanov and interiors by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture. The series was first unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024, with hull one sold "just weeks" after. Construction is currently underway on the first 57-metre yacht, with delivery scheduled for 2027.

While details on hull two remain private, hull one will feature the "Beach" version, characterised by a 161.8-square-metre beach area, with a 15-square-metre pool and a sliding sofa system. "Air" is tailored to accommodate a touch-and-go helipad that can also double as a veranda, while "Water" is designed to store toys, diving gear and other exploration equipment.
The model is equipped with a hybrid-electric system for zero-emission cruising and a direct expansion HVAC system for a reduction in consumption "of up to 80 per cent" compared to conventional water systems. The yacht is expected to offer a range of 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots.
According to BOATPro, Benetti currently has 40 yachts on order or under construction, including the full-custom 80-metre Project Iron Man. Earlier this month, the shipyard took the opportunity of the Cannes Yachting Festival to reveal the latest evolution of its Oasis family.
