Benetti honoured for the architectural boldness of its B.Loft 65M

The Benetti shipyard has been honoured with the prestigious Robb Report US Best of the Best Award for the innovative interior design of its B.Loft 65M concept. This award recognises a unique vision of onboard design, inspired by the vocabulary of contemporary urban lofts.

In the world of luxury yachting, where every detail counts, Benetti has distinguished itself this year by winning the Best Interiors Award in the Marine category of Robb Report US Best of the Best. This award, presented by a jury of leading figures in the luxury sector, recognises the B.Loft 65M project for its bold design and resolutely contemporary approach to space on board.

This concept, born from a collaboration with Cassetta Yacht Designers, introduces the codes of urban loft architecture for the first time on a 65-metre vessel. The design of the B.Loft 65M draws on high-end residential aesthetics to reinterpret the uses and volumes of a yacht, starting with the upper deck, which is designed as a true open-plan living space.

One of the most striking aspects of the B.Loft is the way light is handled and the ceiling height. The Skylounge is nearly four metres high, while the owner's suite offers up to 2.70 metres of headroom. These generous proportions, rare in the megayacht segment, are accentuated by glazed walkways that let in abundant natural light, transforming the interiors into airy and soothing spaces.

The yacht's exterior lines extend this architectural intention with a play of levels evoking the panoramic terraces of seaside residences. This search for a balance between marine luxury and domestic comfort marks a new stylistic grammar in the world of yachting.

The loft concept, as applied by Benetti, is the result of a reflection on the very meaning of comfort on board. It is less about creating spectacular effects than about meeting the real needs of passengers: fluidity of movement, continuity between interior and exterior spaces, and clarity of volumes. This pragmatic approach, based on listening to users, is in line with the shipyard's desire to offer solutions that meet the new expectations of the market.

The B.Loft 65M thus marks a turning point in the design of large yachts. By breaking free from stylistic conventions, Benetti is affirming its role as a visionary player capable of redefining the standards of a constantly evolving sector. The Robb Report, a leading publication in the fields of design, art and lifestyle, was not mistaken in praising this ambitious proposal.

Launched 37 years ago, the Best of the Best Award honours the most outstanding achievements in the world of luxury, from yachting to interior design. With this latest accolade, Benetti confirms its ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with stylistic innovation, while remaining attentive to the cultural and aesthetic changes that shape contemporary taste.
