XWAVE Superyacht Charter France

Yacht Overview

XWAVE is a 49.9-metre luxury superyacht, part of the latest Benetti B.Now 50 series, delivered in 2025 and representing a new benchmark for contemporary charter design. Conceived to dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior living, XWAVE offers an immersive, ocean-connected experience that feels both refined and effortless.

This yacht is the first Benetti B.Now 50 to feature both interior and exterior design by RWD, resulting in a unified aesthetic that flows seamlessly from deck to deck. From expansive glazing and open lounges to carefully considered lighting and material choices, every element onboard is designed to enhance the guest’s relationship with the sea.

XWAVE accommodates 10 guests across five cabins, supported by a professional crew of 10, making her an ideal platform for private, multi-day luxury yacht charters in France. Her scale, layout, and amenities position her perfectly for guests who value modern design, wellness integration, and flexible outdoor living.

Exterior Design and Deck Architecture

XWAVE’s exterior is defined by Benetti’s signature Oasis deck concept, a design that prioritises sea-level living and uninterrupted connection with the water.

At the main deck aft, a pool with fold-out wings transforms the space into a true ocean terrace. When deployed, these wings expand the usable deck area and create a dramatic, open setting that invites guests to gather by the water’s edge. This area naturally becomes the heart of daily life onboard, used for swimming, lounging, and sunset cocktails.

The sun deck spans approximately 100 square metres, offering exceptional freedom of movement and multiple zones for relaxation and entertainment. A jacuzzi, generous sun pads, shaded seating, and a bar allow this deck to transition effortlessly from morning yoga sessions to late-evening gatherings under the stars.

Forward lounging areas provide additional outdoor space for quiet moments underway, while wide side decks ensure easy circulation throughout the yacht.

Interior Design and Atmosphere

The interior of XWAVE reflects RWD’s contemporary design philosophy, blending neutral tones with carefully placed accents of orange and blue to create visual flow and warmth.

Natural light plays a central role throughout the yacht. Vast windows allow sunlight to flood the main and upper salons, while open-plan layouts ensure that sea views remain visible from nearly every angle. The result is an interior that feels calm, airy, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Design highlights include a bespoke Lasvit glass feature wall in the sky lounge and a striking Bocci glass chandelier integrated into the stairwell. These elements add sculptural interest without overwhelming the spaces, reinforcing the yacht’s refined yet contemporary identity.

The main deck lounge is arranged for relaxed socialising, with seating layouts that encourage conversation while preserving comfort. The sky lounge on the bridge deck introduces a more intimate setting, complete with a bar and panoramic views, ideal for evening use or quieter daytime moments.

Cabins and Guest Accommodation

XWAVE welcomes up to 10 guests in five beautifully appointed cabins, each designed to deliver privacy, comfort, and a strong connection to the sea.

The full-beam master suite is a standout feature. Unique within the B.Now 50 series, it includes a private balcony, outdoor shower, and larger forward-facing windows than any other yacht in her class. This design creates a true private sanctuary, allowing guests to experience the ocean from within their own suite.

The master suite also includes a dedicated office area, walk-in wardrobe, and a spacious en suite bathroom finished with refined materials and soft lighting.

Four additional guest cabins are located on the lower deck, comprising two doubles and two convertible twin cabins. Each features golden spider marble en suite bathrooms, reinforcing a consistent level of luxury across all accommodation.

Cabin layouts are flexible and well suited to families or groups of friends, ensuring comfort over extended charters.

Wellness, Fitness, and Comfort

Wellness is seamlessly integrated into the XWAVE experience.

A fully equipped lower deck gym allows guests to maintain fitness routines while onboard. Equipment includes a Peloton bike, Pilates reformer, Kinesis machine, free weights, training bench, and yoga mats, supporting a wide range of training styles.

Stability is enhanced by zero-speed stabilisers, ensuring exceptional comfort at anchor and during cruising. Climate-controlled interiors and advanced sound insulation further contribute to a calm onboard environment, regardless of conditions outside.

Tenders, Toys, and Onboard Activity

XWAVE offers a well-balanced selection of tenders and water toys designed to support both adventure and relaxation.

Highlights include an 11-metre Wajer 38 S chase tender, SeaDoos, SeaBobs, eFoils, wakeboards, towables, snorkelling and fishing gear, inflatable platforms, and scuba diving equipment (rendezvous diving). This selection allows guests to tailor each day to their preferred level of activity.

Water access is straightforward and intuitive, encouraging spontaneous use of the toys throughout the charter.

Crew and Service Philosophy

XWAVE is operated by a professional crew of 10, delivering service that is attentive, polished, and discreet. The crew’s approach is guest-focused and flexible, ensuring that each charter adapts naturally to individual preferences.

Their familiarity with the French cruising grounds allows itineraries and daily planning to evolve smoothly, whether guests prefer active days or extended time at anchor.

Charter Positioning

XWAVE is positioned as a next-generation luxury charter yacht, designed for guests who value design integrity, open living, and wellness-led experiences.

She is particularly appealing to charterers seeking a modern alternative to traditional superyachts, offering innovation without excess and luxury without formality.

Life Onboard XWAVE During a Charter

Life onboard XWAVE is defined by openness, light, and an effortless connection to the sea. This is a yacht designed for guests who value contemporary luxury expressed through space and flow rather than formality. Each day unfolds with a natural rhythm, shaped by the yacht’s architecture and the preferences of those onboard.

Mornings often begin at anchor, with sunlight filtering through expansive glazing and reflecting across calm interior spaces. Breakfast is typically served aft on the Oasis deck, where guests enjoy the rare sensation of dining directly at sea level. The proximity to the water sets the tone for the day—relaxed, immersive, and unhurried.

Some guests move straight into a swim from the fold-out terraces, while others begin with a fitness session in the gym or quiet time in the master suite. XWAVE’s layout allows these different routines to coexist seamlessly, ensuring privacy and comfort for all guests.

Cruising between destinations is smooth and refined. The yacht’s stabilisation systems maintain comfort both underway and at anchor, encouraging guests to remain outdoors and enjoy the coastline rather than retreat indoors.

Outdoor Living and the Oasis Deck Experience

Outdoor living is the defining feature of the XWAVE charter experience. The Oasis deck functions as the social and lifestyle heart of the yacht, bringing guests closer to the water than traditional layouts allow.

Throughout the day, this area becomes a gathering point for swimming, lounging, and conversation. The pool offers a refreshing centrepiece, while the open terraces extend the deck outward, creating a sense of floating above the sea.

Above, the sun deck provides an elevated alternative for relaxation. Guests move between the jacuzzi, sun pads, shaded seating, and bar as the day progresses. This deck transitions effortlessly from daytime leisure to evening socialising, supported by subtle lighting and open views.

Forward seating areas offer quieter spaces for reading or enjoying the breeze while underway, ensuring guests always have a choice of atmosphere.

Dining Experience and Culinary Flow

Dining onboard XWAVE is refined, flexible, and guest-led. Meals are designed to complement the rhythm of the day rather than impose structure.

Breakfasts and lunches are most often enjoyed outdoors, where shaded seating and sea views enhance the experience. The yacht’s multiple dining options allow guests to vary settings daily, maintaining a sense of freshness across longer charters.

Evenings introduce a more composed tone. Guests may opt for alfresco dining on the sun deck or a more intimate indoor setting depending on mood and weather. Lighting, table settings, and service are carefully coordinated to create a sense of occasion without excess.

Menus are tailored daily, balancing seasonal Mediterranean ingredients with guest preferences and dietary requirements. Over multi-day charters, variety is carefully managed to ensure dining remains a highlight.

Evenings and Onboard Atmosphere

Evenings onboard XWAVE are calm, atmospheric, and distinctly modern. As daylight fades, the yacht’s lighting design comes into focus, subtly highlighting architectural features and creating a warm, inviting environment.

Guests often gather for sunset drinks on the sun deck or sky lounge, enjoying open views and quiet conversation. After dinner, the atmosphere remains relaxed—some guests choose to remain outdoors under the stars, while others retreat indoors for conversation or entertainment.

The yacht’s layout supports both social evenings and quieter nights onboard, allowing guests to shape each evening to their preference.

When guests choose to go ashore, the chase tender provides smooth and stylish transfers to ports, beach clubs, and restaurants along the French coast.

Sample French Riviera Itineraries

XWAVE is ideally suited to itineraries that balance short cruising distances with extended time at anchor.

A typical charter may begin in Antibes or Monaco, allowing guests to settle onboard before cruising toward Cap Ferrat or Villefranche-sur-Mer. These early days focus on swimming, wellness, and relaxed outdoor living.

Midweek may include Cannes and the Îles de Lérins, offering protected anchorages and opportunities to explore ashore. The itinerary often concludes near Saint-Tropez, where guests enjoy access to beach clubs while returning each evening to the calm of their private yacht.

For longer charters, Corsica provides a more secluded extension, well suited to guests seeking quieter waters and uninterrupted time onboard.

Best Time to Charter XWAVE

XWAVE performs exceptionally well throughout the Mediterranean charter season, with particular appeal during warmer months when outdoor living is prioritised.

• May and June offer mild temperatures and quieter anchorages, ideal for wellness-focused and design-led charters.

• July and August bring vibrant coastal energy. XWAVE’s shaded decks, pool, and stabilisation maintain comfort during peak season.

• September delivers warm seas and a more refined pace, well suited to experienced charter guests.
