Marine Italia, which represents Azimut Yachts in Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong province, Taiwan and Singapore, has helped secure the sale of a Benetti Oasis 40M to Singapore. Oasis 40M (Review, Issue 57) has been Benetti Asia’s best-selling yacht in the last two years and the latest sale is to an Azimut owner represented by Paul Grange of Marine Italia.
The yacht is due to be delivered to Singapore by the end of 2023 and marks the sixth Oasis 40M sold to Asia-Pacific to date, among 15 global sales for a model whose first unit was delivered late last year.
“The impressive volume, layout and capabilities of the Oasis 40M perfectly suit the client’s requirements and it’s a very exciting project to be involved with,” said Grange, COO and co-owner of Marine Italia with Thomas Woo.
“As Azimut Yachts dealers with existing owners looking to purchase larger and larger yachts, it’s extremely important to the clients and to us that we have this seamless link with Benetti. We are thrilled to be working with the Benetti team on this sale.”
Peter Mahony, Benetti’s General Manager APAC, said: “It is always important to have strategic partnerships in the market, especially ones such as Marine Italia, to lend their expertise and network to win another landmark Oasis 40M sale.
“Already one of the most recognisable yachts on the water, this yacht with her Italian heritage and excellent craftsmanship is unmistakably part of the family-owned Benetti shipyard. The Benetti Oasis 40M design is revolutionary in its concept and execution of design with a visible dedication to outdoor living which opens the sea to the owner in a refreshing and bold way.”
The Oasis 40M is distinguished by a large, multifunctional beach area designed for relaxation, swimming and a base for watersports during the daytime, with the ability to be transformed into a sophisticated lounge for more formal occasions.
The concept is also seen in other new Benetti designs including the Oasis 34M, B.Now 50M and B.Now 66M with Oasis Deck™.
