RWD designed the exterior of the B.Now 50M

A world premiere at the 2022 Monaco Yacht Show, the B.Now 50M is the first in a family of four steel models, which also includes the B.Now 60M, B.Now 67M and B.Now 72M. All feature exterior design by UK-based studio RWD and are available with a traditional aft deck or the Oasis Deck® pioneered by the shipyard’s Oasis 40M.

Benetti announced at Monaco that 16 units of the B.Now 50M had been sold as of late September, making it “the world’s most popular 50m model”. It also stated that delivery times are 30 per cent shorter than market standards due to advanced construction technology and hull engineering solutions.
