Benetti has launched the first two hybrid powered units in its B.Now 67M series. The back to back debuts in Livorno of M/Y Symmetry and M/Y Dagger mark a significant technical expansion for the platform, introducing high volume steel hulls paired with modular hybrid propulsion.
While both superyachts share the RWD designed Oasis Deck noted for its open gunwale infinity pool, their interiors follow diverging briefs. M/Y Symmetry, styled by Reymond Langton Design, utilizes a soft palette and custom crystal elements, whereas M/Y Dagger, a Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design project, was engineered specifically by Benetti to function as a floating art gallery with recessed exhibition niches and a specialized nine wood finish.
The hybrid architecture on both vessels integrates main engines, generators, and battery packs, allowing for silent operation at anchor and optimized energy flows during transit. This is further complemented by variable pitch propellers and a heat recovery system, a solution that Benetti implemented to repurpose engine waste for maintaining pool temperatures.
