Netherlands-based yacht builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2948" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van der Valk Shipyard (Company)">Van der Valk</a> has announced two new orders for a 34-metre yacht, Project 111.11 and a 35.29-metre yacht, Project Samba. The two new projects are based on the hull design of the multi-award winning yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="LL34.0m (111'7&quot;)Van der Valk Shipyard2021">Lady Lene</a> and are being custom-designed to meet the needs of the clients. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272384/image/large-3f79af43b9989549f108404a8d5cf2f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272384">Both Project 111.11 and Project Samba will share the same naval architecture and degree of finish and will each feature a different exterior design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot</a>.

It’s a lifestyle choice and they enjoy the process of developing their perfect yacht as much as they do the ultimate end result.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272374/image/large-b0499096416fbff7deba8cff0e21906d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272374">Project 111.11 showcases expansive windows and an arch rising diagonally from the main deck to the hard top, in a single straight line. The explorer yacht features an asymmetrical semi-full-beam skylounge and a sidewalk from the bridge to aft deck to avoid crew going through the lounge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272375/image/large-5054ab223a1708f935a8b1efe955df97.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272375">Her full-beam master suite is situated on the main deck and includes a large walk-in wardrobe with a chute that leads directly to the laundry station on the lower deck. Further guest accommodations onboard Project 111.11 include two large VIP suites and two twins on the lower deck, all with ensuite bathrooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272373/image/large-0a723fa5f5fdebd848006b13cb7e8361.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272373">Project Samba is characterised by her large aft deck, which includes a relaxation area with a large aft-facing sofa and a formal alfresco dining table. Her central staircase with a single large column from the lower to bridge deck also serves as a piece of art and optimises freedom of movement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272383/image/large-41426e105b5224f565132e67249fe5c8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272383">Like Project 111.11, Project Samba features a full-beam master suite on the main deck, with two VIP suites and two spacious twins on the lower deck.

In contrast, Project Samba’s fast displacement hull and twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> 1450 horsepower diesel engines will ensure top speeds around the 17 knot mark.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272376/image/large-b3991fe8b271d0adac814c64856000fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272376">“Using the engineering packages and part of the cutting files generates significant cost synergies yet allows for an entirely different look and feel. It’s a highly efficient way of building that provides clients with exceptional freedom to customise their yacht above the waterline. Everything you see on the renderings for Project 111.11 and Project Samba has been chosen by the owners as they implement their own style and make a statement of personal taste,” concluded Yoeri Bijker.

Former American powerboat champion Tim Ciasulli talks about yachting and owning the first Benetti Oasis 40, which he named <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7198" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rebeca41.14m (134'12&quot;)Benetti SpA2020">Rebeca</a> after his wife.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175147/image/large-c8421300dc99ade2479d10dd25bcf79f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175147"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175146/image/large-1e0f2e639c4997351750c192567d68f5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175146">Tell us something about previous boats you’ve owned?I actually owned the first Sunseeker in the US – a Sunseeker 55 Camargue. There was a dealer in New York who I knew from racing and he told me I had to check out the Sunseeker brand. At the time I was building a race boat with Cougar in the UK and went to the Sunseeker yard and loved what I saw. The Camargue was a great boat and I kept it for a year-and-a-half, then sold it for more than I had paid for it! From there I moved up to a 64 flybridge motor yacht, then an 80-foot Baia, and then a 110 Horizon. I must say I learned something from owning all of them. Then came the 40-metre Oasis. You know, you get that 5-foot-a-year disease… It doesn’t always happen on an annual basis, but sometimes you save it up and 5-feet becomes 20!<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/183760/image/large-a757ed4706474fa9b3147730eb8de7af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/183760">Being the first to invest in a new model is a calculated risk. What convinced you to take the plunge?I’ve always been a bit of a pioneer and I say you can always spot the pioneers in life because they’re the ones with the arrows in their back! But seriously, I knew that mine and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a>’s values were aligned and those values are integrity, passion and accountability. Benetti had all three in spades, which was more important than being the first customer for the Oasis 40. If you have those values then the product is likely to be outstanding. As a car dealer, I know that boat companies are not always known for their customer service, so when you see a boat company like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> espousing those values I knew it was a marriage made in heaven.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180747/image/large-0595bc0ddaaafa5e79c64640dbd8f48c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180747">At what stage did you get involved in the Oasis project?We had already seen the concept renders, but then they showed us the scale model when we were on our previous boat in Palm Beach. I must have spent 3 or 4 hours just looking at that model from every angle, and it was gorgeous. Italians are known for their styling, right? But this was a radical departure for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a>, as it would be for any boat company for that matter. You know, they all say that they blur the boundaries between inside and outside, but all they really do is put in bigger windows. This was a completely clean sheet of paper and we realised that the onboard lifestyle the Oasis 40 could offer us was exactly what we wanted. So it was an easy choice: this is a no-compromise boat.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180078/image/large-ca5f94859a21ab6d1b2414279acb4646.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180078">Why the decision to switch to a displacement hull? &nbsp; &nbsp;Remember I said I learned a lot from my previous boats? Well, I would take a bunch of friends out for a blast off the coast of Connecticut and we’d get back to the dock and go below deck and the doors would be open, plates all over the place, and it would take a day just to put it all back to rights. I crossed one time from Fort Lauderdale to the Abacos and even the fridge was turned over. The fact is: going fast and having a nice yacht that you can enjoy with friends are mutually exclusive. But I have both because we tow a 43-foot, carbon fibre Midnight Express with five 450hp outboards that goes 100 miles an hour. So I can take friends out and scare the hell of them and then go back to the mothership and relax in comfort.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180707/image/large-f80dd50f0e979cf0e0b5bdb593889eb1.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180707"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180076/image/large-6e51fc4121e78fdc4eaa27a79253c8a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180076">You have Italian heritage; was that a factor in deciding to buy an Italian yacht or just a coincidence?Probably a little more than coincidence. My wife and I have owned a home in Italy since 2015 and we plan on spending a lot of our time – once I stop working full-time – in Italy because we love it. As Americans, we put in 80-hour weeks and run around like headless chickens and we miss the important things in life like spending time with family, breaking bread, enjoying a glass of wine or an aperitivo with friends. That’s the Dolce Vita and the life we love. It’s not about having a big boat or Ferraris in the garage; it’s about relationships.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180743/image/large-3811c044731ebb5ac14fd8280af1d057.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180743"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180755/image/large-793a87f3451f022c56c693cd6ec4dce2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180755">The interior designer, Enrico Bonetti of Bonetti/Kozerski, is also Italian. Did you have any special requests?&nbsp;What I liked about <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5263" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bonetti / Kozerski architecture DPC (Company)">Bonetti/Kozerski</a> was that hadn’t designed a boat interior before, so they had no preconceived notions. It was a fresh start. Enrico had some design criteria from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> and part of what he wanted was to get rid of all the clutter and make the spaces very light and airy and easy to move around. For example, on previous boats it was sometimes hard for the crew to move around the dining table, but on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7198" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rebeca41.14m (134'12&quot;)Benetti SpA2020">Rebeca</a> the space planning is great. My wife suggested opportunities to introduce more storage into the design with the rosewood cabinets because you can never have too much storage space on a boat. In the saloon there is also a round ceiling that represents the wheel in my business. We took that design element and brought it into the back-lit mirror as you pass from the stateroom into the bathroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180723/image/large-126547aba161a9f13c9b6e223de9b513.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180723"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180722/image/large-e05807685d759a6f4bb2127292f47c1d.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180722">How was your maiden cruise and what’s a typical day afloat for you?I have undiagnosed attention deficit disorder – and by the way, I think I have a lot of my associates are the same – which means I’m always on the go. I get up and put my bare feet on the teak floor and immediately feel like I’m outside. Depending on where we are we will anchor offshore or stay in port. We love to explore new places and we really enjoyed discovering the Italian coast and places like the Cinque Terre last summer. We also did some entertaining and with 20 or so people on board that wonderful open aft deck really comes into its own, especially when the side platforms are deployed.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180742/image/large-9e0a79de7acef2ee367d3c2d82edf1f8.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180742"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180731/image/large-d0577102c3116cb9085b57b27e596b94.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180731">American owners tend to drive their own boats more than Europeans. Is that the case with you?I’m also a pilot and you find that there comes a point when you’re uninsurable, which is probably a good thing because you just don’t do it enough. It’s fine on a sunny day, but all the training comes in when it’s not a sunny day. I’m very happy to let the captain run the ship – he has the judgement and experience with big boats. You do become a student of the weather on yachts, and also race boats for that matter. There have been times when we took off in uncertain weather and the captain decided to go back: right decision every time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/183759/image/large-b6f211cc7d3d09a57c1e343f0fbe1165.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/183759"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/183758/image/large-993138a063aa74b17d22036c26c4c017.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/183758">How was the experience of building with Benetti?It’s interesting that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> is just as interested in my experience as an owner as they were in the quality of the boat. They want me to enjoy the whole ownership experience. That’s a pretty profound outlook, especially in the yachting industry, and they’re looking to keep me as a customer for life. So maybe my next boat will be a 50-metre explorer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180717/image/large-bdf409c38717dc26b3b40234053264c0.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180717">I was going to ask: will there be a bigger one?Well, I think I have a very severe case of the 5-foot-a-year disease!

While the largest superyachts tend to capture the headlines, it is the smaller yachts that are often more intriguing. This is largely because innovation is a key driver of brand awareness in the sub-500 GT sector, the biggest and most competitive portion of the superyacht market. The first 37-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> B.YOND due to launch at the end of the year is a prime example of this disruptive thinking in action.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/204041/image/large-0407e10cb8ab46e0aeae7598b94ce43b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/204041" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The design of the steel and aluminium B.YOND series began with an in-depth volumetric analysis in order to maximise the onboard volumes, circulation flow, guest privacy and overall utility. This led to a radical reassessment of conventional layouts and a general arrangement comprising four deck levels instead of the customary three seen on other yachts in her class. Add to the mix a wide beam of 8.6-metres and the result is a yacht of just under 400 GT in a standard configuration, but because it offers a high level of flexibility for a semi-custom design can be appreciably more.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203461/image/large-c4da1ae31e4a12d16c7a1018bf040fa2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203461" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">“Uniquely in her class, the crew quarters and services are all on the lower deck and the four guest suites, plus the full-beam master stateroom forward, are on main deck,” says B.YOND project manager Costanza Gnemmi as we step aboard the first unit in build at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> shipyard in Livorno. “This means bigger windows, better views and more comfort because they’re further away from the engine room. There’s also the option of retractable terraces for the aft suites and master stateroom and the crew circulation is completely separate from the guest areas. You won’t find all these features together on any other yacht of this size.”<ul><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/50462" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti announces new B.YOND 37M (2019-09-30 09:30:00 +0200)">Benetti announces new B.YOND 37M</a><a href="#managed-by-system" title="Benetti B.Yond 37m: more details revealed (2019-10-24 14:30:00 +0200)" data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/50566" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></li><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/50566" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti B.Yond 37m: more details revealed (2019-10-24 14:30:00 +0200)">Benetti B.Yond 37m: more details revealed</a></li></ul><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/204040/image/large-061887f89885a1a30a4f4e3bc3bee711.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/204040">There is space on the lower deck for a good-size gym accessible from the guest staircase, but owners can choose to have a staff cabin or extra stateroom instead. Opposite the gym is a double captain’s cabin, although there is a smaller but perhaps more convenient single cabin behind the bridge that could alternatively serve as a ship’s office. In addition to a large galley (with a dumb waiter up to the sun deck) and dedicated laundry, there is even space for extra cold storage.There are more options available on the bridge deck. The aft deck lounge has side glazing but the stern can be left open to create an informal veranda-style space, or enclosed with glass sliding doors as aboard the first hull. It can also be used as the master stateroom with a private aft deck. In this case, owners can decide to shift two guest cabins on main deck forward to replace the master stateroom and have a media lounge or playroom in the vacated space amidships.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/204042/image/large-b0c84bc9ad18119127af99129c83b1d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/204042" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Another smart solution is the semi-open tender garage on main deck above the engine room with space for a 6.5-metre tender, a crew tender and other water toys. The beauty of this configuration is that it provides a much bigger garage than usual, frees up space in the transom for a beach club with a sauna, and still keeps the tenders out of sight. The bulwarks fold down during tender operations and as a semi-open space the garage is not included in the GT calculation.As well as the division of the interior volumes, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> also looked closely at how best to move between them. Guests arriving by passerelle when moored stern-to take a short flight of steps up to the upper deck lounge, which becomes the main lounge area with a forward dining room. The crew, on the other hand, can take the steps down and through the open tender garage to deliver luggage to the guest staterooms and arrive at the service deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/204039/image/large-4f20a35aa2091715ca606a816a63368b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/204039">The B.YOND concept was initially conceived as a compact explorer and while the yacht certainly has the steel construction, tender space and autonomy of an ocean-going passagemaker, she does not readily fall into the typical explorer category.

The four decks sit high in the water in relation to her overall length, but there is something reassuringly purposeful about her profile nonetheless.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203460/image/large-5d2754539ee124b6ec1864f36d58b1bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203460"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut-Benetti</a> president Paolo Vitelli has been closely involved in the B.YOND project from the beginning. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> was one of the first shipyards to build yachts over 30 metres in fibreglass and in a way the B.YOND’s metal construction marks a return to more traditional boatbuilding methods. But in almost every other sense it represents a break with convention, including a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system for reducing NOx emissions and the option of a hybrid propulsion package by Siemens.“Eco-friendliness is a vital consideration and will only become more important,” said Vitelli in a 2018 interview for SuperYacht Times. “I cruise the Med each summer and I must say that some of our beautiful coastline is not as pristine as it should be. The industry has a role to play in conserving the marine environment for future generations, and by eco-friendly I don’t just mean fewer emissions, but also more efficient yachts that consume less fuel.”<ul><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/51424" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti develops 37m expedition yacht B.Yond (2020-10-22 10:30:00 +0200)">Benetti develops 37m expedition yacht B.Yond</a><a href="#managed-by-system" title="Benetti launches the first 37m Motopanfilo yacht (2021-07-30 17:30:00 +0200)" data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/53453" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></li><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/53453" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti launches the first 37m Motopanfilo yacht (2021-07-30 17:30:00 +0200)">Benetti launches the first 37m Motopanfilo yacht</a></li></ul><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/121626/image/large-c881fb261d79a3705d110f12c9f525bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/121626">The B.YOND is a relatively small superyacht that makes a big statement about the future direction of yacht design.
