Unknown is the designation of the second hull of the popular Oasis 34M series built by the Italian shipyard Benetti. The 34.3-meter vessel was delivered to Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2022, and she made her debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival the same year.
According to BOATPro, thirteen Oasis 34Ms have been sold since its introduction to the market in January 2022, and four are scheduled for delivery in 2023.
Unknown attributes Benetti’s signature Oasis terrace, with a pool and sun pads
The model is based on the success of its smaller sister, the Oasis 40M, with the same design team, design principles, and emphasis on blending interior and exterior spaces to appeal to clients desiring a more “informal” lifestyle.
The exterior was designed by the British firm RWD, which gave the yacht a vertical bow, modern lines, and Benetti’s signature Oasis Deck, which replaces the traditional beach club with a tiered, open-air sun lounge. The yacht’s profile is influenced by automobile design, with a sporty silver trim defining her main and upper platforms.
An inviting interior palette is produced by ivory leather and bleached Canaletto walnut
The interior of Unknown was designed by the New York-based firm Bonetti/Kozerski, who was tasked with achieving “understated” opulence without sacrificing intricate detailing. Parquet on the main and upper decks is lined with exterior-grade teak, and porcelain-colored leather accents complement the mellow tones of the ribbed walnut wall panels.
On each of the yacht’s three decks, the design team has prioritized constructing open-plan spaces that heighten the sense of proximity to the water. The lines are curved to resemble ocean waves, and the Canaletto wood has been bleached to avoid distracting from the surroundings.
On all Oasis models, connecting the interior and exterior is a central design principle
Through the curved glass doors connecting the cockpit to the main saloon, which is completely open to connect the dining area to the exterior, the main saloon enjoys expansive views. The saloon can be utilized in a variety of ways due to the presence of a squishy sofa in front of a cinema-style television screen. On the upper deck, an alternative living space is located amidship, while the helm is located forward.
There are accommodations for ten visitors in five cabins and seven crew members in four cabins. The owner’s accommodation is located forward on the main deck, while two doubles and two twins are located on the lower deck.
The sundeck provides both shady and sunny areas
The Oasis Deck of Unknown has been thoughtfully designed to provide a one-of-a-kind waterfront leisure area. Unfolding gunwales on the main deck, which are designed to be high enough to avoid ocean swell, can accommodate loose sunloungers, and an infinity pool with a glass edge is integrated into the deck to maintain the yacht’s clean aesthetic while providing a premium location to soak up the sun.
The sundeck offers additional opportunities for outdoor living with its shady dining area, bar, and settee seating. The foredeck features a large sun pad spread and a Portuguese bridge for additional relaxation.
The perpendicular bow of the yacht is designed to increase efficiency and seakeeping
With a maximum speed of 16 knots, an average cruising speed of 10 knots, and a range of 2,700 nautical miles, the yacht’s vertical bow has been designed for increased efficiency. According to Benetti, the transatlantic range offers owners “a highly reliable product that is designed to meet the real needs of life on board and retains its beauty as time passes.”
