NEW WAVES

NEW WAVES is a 42-metre GRP superyacht built by Benetti in 2015 to the Fast 140' series and refitted in 2024, registered under the Malta flag. Exterior design is by Stefano Righini, whose work on the Fast series gave Benetti a more dynamic profile in the market, while interiors are attributed to RWD — a studio associated with contemporary, light-filled spaces. At 390 GT and a maximum speed of 21 knots, she occupies a practical zone between volume and performance.

Twelve guests are accommodated across five cabins, with a crew of eight providing solid coverage across deck, interior, and engineering departments. Her charter range is notably broad, spanning the Western Mediterranean — the French Riviera, Sardinia, Corsica, and Monaco — through to the Caribbean, including Antigua, St Barts, Saint Martin, and the Bahamas. This transatlantic capability, supported by a 2,560-nautical-mile range, makes NEW WAVES a genuinely versatile charter yacht for guests planning extended or back-to-back itineraries across seasons.

The Benetti Fast 140' platform is engineered for consistent performance at sea. At-anchor and underway stabilisers address comfort in both conditions, and a beach club extends the vessel's water-level social space beyond the standard swim platform arrangement. The 2024 refit positions her systems and finishes at current standards, reducing the depreciation in guest experience that can accrue on a decade-old hull without investment.

The water toys inventory reflects a contemporary charter fit-out: three Seabobs, electric foilboards, a jetsurf, paddleboards, a kayak, wakeboard, and an assortment of inflatables cover a wide range of activity preferences. A deck jacuzzi, outdoor bar, and sun deck with sunpads complete the above-waterline experience. A tender garage provides integrated storage and deployment for the tender, keeping the swim platform clear.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
