LADY SARAH Launched: 40m Benetti Oasis Hits the Water

LADY SARAH, a 40-metre Benetti Oasis, has entered the water at the Benetti yard following her sale last year. She is scheduled for delivery at the end of June 2026, ahead of her first Mediterranean season, and will later join the Fraser Yachts charter fleet.

The buyer was represented throughout the purchase by Jan-Jaap Minnema, senior sales broker at Fraser Yachts in Monaco. The mandate ran for nearly two years and was originated through Fraser charter broker Frances Edgeworth — a cross-departmental introduction that produced one of the firm's signature collaborative outcomes.

About the Benetti Oasis 40M

The Oasis 40M is one of the most successful platforms in Benetti's current line-up. Exterior styling is by RWD; the interior is by Bonetti / Kozerski Architecture. Naval architecture is jointly credited to Benetti and Pierluigi Ausonio. The hull and superstructure are GRP composite, with full displacement underway and a 4,000-nautical-mile range at 11 knots, enabling true bluewater capability.

The signature feature is the Oasis Deck — fold-down terraces on three sides of the stern that open the aft area into a beach-club-level lounge continuous with the sea. The arrangement accommodates 10 guests across 5 staterooms, with a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck and a crew of 7. Top speed is 17 knots, cruise 16.

Fraser's full-service involvement

Beyond the brokerage mandate, Fraser's project management division supported specification reviews and build oversight throughout the build period. The Crew Network — Fraser's in-house recruitment arm — handled the Captain and crew placement ahead of delivery. The yacht will be marketed for charter through Fraser following her inaugural season.

Special thanks to Nabil El Jammal of Benetti Yachts, and to the Fraser sales, charter, project management and crew teams who saw the project through from contract to launch. Congratulations to the new Owner.
