Owner Experience Review

Owners and captains using delivered units of the B. Now 50MbyBenettidescribe a yacht equally at home on long passages and at anchor. The Oasis Deck/beach club makes it a resort-style platform designed to be enjoyed at anchor, with fold-out terraces and an infinity/plunge pool; one review cites roughly 1,250 square feet of beach-club space on a delivered sistership. Five-cabin arrangements (10 guests) and expansive outdoor lounges suit multigenerational family cruising and charter programs, with Mediterranean availability reported.

Underway, the steel hull and aluminum superstructure with RWD/Plana naval architecture deliver a stable, displacement-type ride. Reviewers put the sweet spot around 12.5 knots at about 50 US gal/hr, with a quoted range near 3,800 nm and an eco-range around 4,500 nm at 10 knots; a delivered B. Now 50Mhas completed a ~3,300 nm Atlantic passage, underscoring its ocean-crossing brief. Top speed is reported around 15–16 knots.

On board, high headroom, oak joinery, stone and leather finishes, and largely freestanding furniture create a comfortable, hotel-like feel. A full-beam main-deck owner’s suite with a private balcony is paired with four guest staterooms below (often with an additional bridge-deck twin), while dedicated crew routes preserve service flow. Practical touches include a dedicated gym accessed via a hatch near the engine room, substantial tender/toy stowage, twin watermakers (about 350 L/hr each), twin fuel filters for redundancy, and engineering spaces with an engineer’s control room and good service access. Propulsion is typically twin MAN V12-1400s with ZF gearboxes; sources did not flag recurring model-specific failures, but a standard pre-purchase survey and conversations with current owners/crew remain prudent.

Pros and Cons

• Ocean-crossing capability with ~3,800 nm range (up to ~4,500 nm at 10 knots) and a sweet-spot cruise around 12.5 knots at ~50 US gal/hr.
• Oasis Deck beach club prioritizes at-anchor living with fold-out terraces and an infinity/plunge pool; one review cites about 1,250 sq ft on a delivered yacht.
• Family- and charter-friendly layouts with a full-beam main-deck owner suite, private balcony, four guest cabins, and strong guest/crew separation.
• Modest top speed of ~15–16 knots means longer passages than faster planing yachts.
• Operating and maintenance costs align with twin MAN V12-1400s and megayacht-scale systems (twin gensets, stabilizers, large capacities).
• Optimized for at-anchor enjoyment, so it suits resort-style use more than fast repositioning schedules.
