While wellness areas are traditionally integrated into a pre-existing layout, Clear Waves reverses this approach: the entire yacht is designed around the individual's physical and mental well-being.
Benetti presents Clear Waves, a 70-meter megayacht developed through a collaboration between Luca Dini Design & Architecture and The Longevity Suite. The concept rests on five pillars—environment, movement, social connection, mental and spiritual well-being, and technology—all holistically integrated into the project.
Wellness is not confined to a specific moment or space but extends to every aspect of life on board: purified air, optimal sleep comfort, and carefully curated color schemes tailored to different times of day.
Architecture also plays a pivotal role. Clear Waves revolutionizes traditional yacht spatial layouts: the wellness zone—usually located on the lower deck—becomes the focal point of the yacht's most prestigious area: the upper deck.
Natural greenery frames a space featuring relaxation areas, a dedicated food and beverage island, hot and cold water circuits, and state-of-the-art treatment technologies.

The glass dome: a regenerative biosphere
The centerpiece of Clear Waves is the Glass Dome, representing the pinnacle of wellness technology. It is a 400-square-meter glass structure that is entirely self-sufficient in terms of energy supply.
Spanning two decks, it offers an uninterrupted 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding landscape and creates a visual link between the interior and exterior, bringing natural light and the environment into the heart of the onboard experience—from sunrise and sunset to the starry night sky. The glass dome is designed to generate the energy required for its own operation, overcoming the thermal and energy management challenges posed by its extensive glazed surfaces. More than 60% of its surface area incorporates translucent photovoltaic panels.

The Longevity Suite: the science of wellness
Clear Waves draws on the expertise of The Longevity Suite, a leading name in the fields of longevity and wellness. Clear Waves offers a combined program of personalized assessments alongside biohacking and recovery technologies—including whole-body cryotherapy, dry flotation, near-infrared therapy, hydrogen and oxygen therapy, and a revitalization chamber—all designed to promote recovery, energy, relaxation, and overall physical and mental well-being.
Engineering and propulsion with a focus on awareness
This individual-centric approach naturally extends to respect for the marine environment. The commitment is reflected in an advanced hybrid configuration featuring a dual-fuel system—compatible with HVO biofuel and methanol—which has already been validated by Lloyd's Register and developed in collaboration with Meccano Engineering.
Complementing this is an advanced energy management system that coordinates onboard energy generation, storage, and consumption. Over 250 m² of installed solar panels contribute to the vessel's power supply, offering a capacity of up to 120 kWh.
