Discover Oceania Aboard This Modern Benetti Yacht
A 2022 launch from the Benetti shipyard, the 40.8-metre NORTHERN ESCAPE presents a refined platform for charter in Oceania. Her exterior, penned by RWD, reveals a modern silhouette that moves with purpose across the water. On board, an expert crew of eight attends to every detail, ensuring a seamless experience for up to twelve guests. From the expansive sun pads to the inviting swimming pool, the design prioritises a direct connection to the surrounding seascapes, creating a private sanctuary for exploring pristine cruising grounds.
The yacht’s profile is a composition of clean, flowing lines and tiered decks that create a sense of elegant elevation from the water. Expansive glazing is integrated into the superstructure, reflecting the sky and sea. The hull contrasts with the crisp white of the upper levels, defining a form that is both powerful and graceful as it rests at anchor. The overall impression is one of contemporary design in complete harmony with its marine environment.
01 · Design
Aft Decks and Water Access
From the stern, the yacht’s design opens up to the ocean. The tiered aft decks provide multiple levels for relaxation, culminating in a broad swim platform close to the water’s surface. The structure’s clean, white surfaces are accented by polished steel and glass, giving the vessel a sharp, contemporary finish. Each level appears to offer an uninterrupted connection to the surrounding views, inviting guests to enjoy the open air and the seascape beyond.
02 · Guest life
The Main Saloon
The main saloon is a tranquil space defined by a light, neutral palette and soft, curving forms. A large, pale-coloured sofa follows the contour of the room, complemented by sculptural armchairs and a low, polished coffee table. Full-height windows flood the interior with natural light, blurring the boundary between the saloon and the ocean outside. Polished floors reflect the ambient light, while subtle textures in the furnishings add layers of quiet sophistication to the welcoming, open-plan area.
03 · On the water
The Master Suite
A sanctuary of calm, the master suite employs a palette of soft neutrals, from the cream-coloured carpets to the textured bulkhead behind the large central bed. An integrated sofa sits beneath a wide window, offering a private space for contemplation with direct views of the sea. Warm, indirect lighting accentuates the clean lines of the joinery and the gentle curves of the furniture. The space is arranged to maximise comfort and light, creating a serene personal retreat.
Interiors & dining
Inside NORTHERN ESCAPE
The on-board culinary journey is tailored entirely to guest preference, orchestrated by a professional crew. Dining can be a formal affair in the main saloon, where panoramic windows frame the seascape, or a more relaxed al fresco meal on an exterior deck. The crew’s expertise ensures that every menu is crafted with precision, transforming fresh ingredients into exceptional dishes, whether for a celebratory dinner or a light lunch between swims.
