From 4 to 7 November, Benetti will take part in the Qatar Boat Show 2026 in Doha, confirming the central role of the Middle East in its international development strategy. This established, continuous presence is supported by Nabil El Jammal, Middle East Area Manager, who has overseen the regional market since 2004 and maintains an ongoing dialogue with owners, partners and local stakeholders.
“My journey with Benetti began in 2004 and, over more than twenty years, we have built strong, lasting relationships with owners and partners in the region. The Middle East is a strategic market for Benetti, and our continuous presence demonstrates a long-term commitment and our determination to remain close to our clients. The Qatar Boat Show is an important opportunity for exchange and dialogue, enabling us to listen to the needs of the market and support each owner in bringing their vision to life,” comments Nabil El Jammal.
The evolution of the Oasis family
On this occasion, Benetti presents the latest developments in the Oasis family, the project that introduced the Oasis Deck® concept to the yachting world: a revolutionary design solution that has redefined the use of outdoor spaces and the experience of life on board.
The beach area with lateral wings opening out over the sea, the integrated aft pool and the exceptional continuity between interior and exterior spaces on the Main Deck have introduced a new approach to socialising, relaxation and connection with the marine environment, becoming a benchmark for the entire industry in just a few years.
Following the success of Oasis 40M and Oasis 34M, this philosophy has evolved further through Oasis 42M and the latest Oasis 36M project, featuring new naval architecture, a different interpretation of spaces on board and the introduction of technologies that further enhance comfort, quietness, and hydrodynamic and energy efficiency.
The Oasis Deck® concept, developed by Benetti in collaboration with British design studio RWD, also finds expression in the B.Now steel yacht family, a design architecture comprising models from 50 to 72 metres. With 21 units delivered and 15 hulls currently under construction, the family confirms the shipyard’s success in the large-yacht segment.
Clear Waves: the 70-metre yacht designed around longevity
In Doha, Benetti will also present Clear Waves, an innovative 70-metre yacht concept developed in collaboration with LUCA DINI Design & Architecture and The Longevity Suite.
Conceived to place people’s physical and mental wellbeing at the heart of the on-board experience, Clear Waves interprets the principles of longevity as the ability to preserve balance, health and quality of life over time through environments, experiences and technologies devoted to regeneration.
The project’s iconic feature is the Glass Dome, a spectacular glazed dome spanning more than 400 square metres across two decks and offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the sea and the surrounding environment, radically reinterpreting the traditional concept of a superstructure. Beneath the dome, a convivial space dedicated to wellbeing takes shape, with relaxation areas, hot- and cold-water circuits, food and beverage offerings, and technologies for the latest treatments, in a continuous dialogue between architecture, nature and life on board.
The pursuit of wellbeing encompasses the entire yacht: air and water quality, acoustic comfort, lighting, materials and microclimate control are designed to support people’s natural rhythms and promote health and regeneration.
Designed according to energy-efficiency criteria, Clear Waves incorporates around 250 square metres of translucent photovoltaic panels, advanced air-conditioning and energy-management systems, and a dual-fuel hybrid propulsion architecture prepared for the use of HVO and methanol, in line with Benetti’s vision for increasingly responsible, forward-looking yachting.
Benetti will be at the Qatar Boat Show from 4 to 7 November 2026 at Old Doha Port – Stand YL-23.
