On July 4, Azimut|Benetti in Livorno solemnly launched B.Yond , the first expeditionary yacht of the new generation. The 37-meter vessel «Goga» is designed in the tradition of the famous shipyard and meets the needs of modern owners. The model with 395GT capacity has gained popularity since its first announcement and is currently one of the strongest positions in its class in the "Voyager" segment. Aberton Yachts also contributed to the promotion of the model in the world market by signing a contract for the construction of the second hull in July 2020, with its handover to a client from Southeast Asia in August 2022.
In the 1990s, Benetti became the first shipyard to actively use fiberglass on over 30 meters yachts. Today it is one of the first major players in the industry to return to steel, breathing life into revolutionary new designs. Goga with a white steel hull by P.L.A.N.A. and an aluminum superstructure was penned by Stefano Righini . The desire of the clients to fully enjoy nature and seascapes inspired the designer to create an open profile with expressive exterior lines, reminiscent of the innovative spirit of the model. The stainless-steel roof rails are also painted white and finished with teak handrails.
The interiors were designed by Benetti’s architect Mauro Izzo. Interior of the yacht literally radiate beauty and functionality. Sophisticated combinations of materials with natural colors are enhanced by blue fabrics and accessories that stand out against the white walls and echo the color of the sea.
The Italian shipyard describes the yacht as "one of the most environmentally friendly models in its class" thanks to E-Mode hybrid system by Siemens optimizing onboard energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions. The system offers four operating modes, including Full Electric for zero-emission navigation, allowing entry into protected marine areas. In the hotel mode the yacht is able to stay at anchor for 8 to 12 hours with the generators turned off, powering all on-board systems from batteries. The B.Yond 37M has a range of up to 8,200 nautical miles at 9 knots and a top speed of 14 knots.
The four-deck Goga combines the reliability of a displacement yacht with a class-leading interior space. The lower deck is dedicated to the garage, beach club, gym, wine cellar, cold store, and crew quarters. You can access the deck both from the garage and a service staircase (with an elevator) connecting all decks. This layout allows the crew to easily move around the vessel without disturbing the guests. On the main deck you will find four guest cabins and a panoramic salon with large windows. On the upper deck there is a 360-degree salon, dining area and outdoor table protected by a hardtop. The yacht can accommodate up to 12 people in seven cabins.
