Benetti VIV is a striking 42-meter (approximately 138-foot) superyacht built by the renowned Italian shipyard Benetti. Launched in 2021, she is part of the Benetti Oasis 40M series, known for its sleek, modern lines, luxurious design, and emphasis on outdoor living and wellness.
Designed by the British studio RWD, with interiors by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, VIV seamlessly blends elegant minimalism with high-end comfort. One of her standout features is the Oasis Deck™, a revolutionary open-plan aft deck that includes a stunning infinity pool, fold-down balconies, and an uninterrupted connection to the sea—perfect for socializing, sunbathing, or enjoying panoramic ocean views.
VIV accommodates up to 10 guests in 5 spacious cabins, including a full-beam master suite. She also hosts a crew of 7 to ensure impeccable service. Her interiors are refined and contemporary, with natural tones, bespoke furnishings, and large windows that flood the spaces with light.
Powered by twin MTU engines, she cruises comfortably at 14.5 knots with a top speed of around 16 knots, and offers a range of over 4,000 nautical miles—making her ideal for long-distance cruising.
Whether relaxing at anchor or entertaining in style, Benetti VIV exemplifies modern yachting luxury with an adventurous spirit.
