First Benetti B.Now 67 named Iryna hits water

At present Benetti B.Now series comprises four projects of 50, 60, 67 and 72 metres in length

The 66.2-metre Iryna, which has just been launched, is the largest yacht in B.Now 67 family. 

The yacht with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure has six decks. The exterior design of B.Now 67, as well as the entire B.Now series was created by British RWD studio. The same studio developed Benetti Oasis models, featuring innovative aft layouts turned into a large beach club with a pool. The same concept of Oasis Deck is available for Benetti B.Now models, too, but this time as an option.

The first hull in B.Now series, Irynam, features this option. The total area of the open aft deck – the cockpit and the beach club – is 190 sq.m, including the fold-down terraces, offering a 270-degree view. All in all, there are about 500 sq.metres of usable space on board, while about 70% of all vertical surfaces of the vessel are covered with expansive, curved glazing. Iryna features a personalized hull and superstructure colouring, comprising three different shades of grey. 

The superyacht’s custom interior was developed in-house, byt Benetti’s Interior Design Department, but the owner influenced the process a lot, as he asked the yard to create an atmosphere suitable for the freestanding furniture of his favourite Visionnaire brand. The finishes feature leather that has not been chemically treated, and some rare wood like curly maple wood and macassar ebony, as well as some marble-effect ceramic tiling. The customer opted for the latter as a more ecological alternative to marble.

The full 11-metre beam owner’s suite is located on the upper deck. In addition to a saloon of 65 sq.m, the main deck is also home to two VIP cabins, while the lower deck houses four more guest cabins, allowing Iryna to accommodate up to 15 passengers. 

Iryna’s official delivery is scheduled for the end of summer, which is a new record for Benetti. Thanks to the B.Now concept which implies faster delivery, this project was completed in less than three years, starting from the first sketches on a blank piece of paper.
