About XWAVE
Step aboard XWAVE, the newest of Benetti’s B.Now 50 series, delivered in autumn 2025 and setting a new standard for life at sea.
XWAVE welcomes 10 guests across five beautifully appointed cabins. The full-beam master is your private sanctuary, complete with its own balcony and outdoor shower, plus larger windows than any other B.Now 50 yacht – a rare privilege that lets you be entirely at one with the sea. The four guest cabins each feature golden spider marble en suites, with two doubles and two convertible twins offering flexibility for families and friends, ensuring everyone feels perfectly at home.
Life on board naturally gravitates towards the signature Oasis deck – the beating heart of XWAVE. Picture yourself stretched out by the waterside pool, watching the fold-out wings transform the space into an oceanfront terrace. As the day winds down, this is the place for cocktails at sunset and unforgettable gatherings.
Whether it’s family fun, time with friends, or simply a chance to reconnect with the sea, XWAVE promises an experience that is as immersive as it is unforgettable.
