Queensland-based high-end motor yacht brokerage The Boutique Boat Company has announced a new tie-in with Benetti, the maker of some of the world’s most exclusive and luxuriously appointed superyachts.
The new relationship’s announcement, which establishes The Boutique Boat Company as a conduit between potential customers and the high-end Italian shipwrights, will give even more Australians access to the brand.
The announcement also came as Benetti celebrated the launch of the second hull of its Oasis 40m, a 40-metre fibreglass yacht “designed to cultivate a dynamic and informal lifestyle on board, in seamless contact with nature”.
The striking almost plumb-bowed, four-level Oasis 40m, built for a first-timer Benetti owner, includes a sophisticated air-conditioning system that can flush out and refresh the air on board up to six times an hour.
Speaking of interiors, inside the Benetti Oasis 40m is designed to give the appearance of a loft, with wide, open interiors reminiscent of, among other things, a hotel lobby.
Drop-down side decks aft increase the beam of the motor yacht from 8.5 metres to 11.0 metres, while the beach deck, complete with infinity pool, has no access other than via the motor yacht’s interior, making it very private and exclusive.
Up to 10 people can stay on board, accommodated across five staterooms.
The first deliveries of the new Benetti Oasis 40m are expected to roll off the Italian production line in 2023.
Other high-end brands under The Boutique Boat Company’s banner include de Antonio Yachts, Nuova Jolly luxury RIBs, and high-end day boat makers Ribbon Yachts and Wider.
The Boutique Boat Company also sells a range of water toys for motor yachts, including Quadrofoil battery-powered foiling personal watercraft.
The brokerage has offices in Rose Bay in Sydney, Prospect Quay in Perth and at Mariners Cove on the Gold Coast.
