Italian shipyard Benetti has launched the 217-foot custom superyacht Iryna. It is the first model in the B.Now 67M series and the largest. Iryna single-handedly proves at first glance that the “B” in B.Now stands for beautiful, with exceptional exterior design by RWD. Iryna is discernible due to her custom hull and superstructure, featuring three different hues of grey that give her a unique personality.
The connection to the Benetti family becomes evident when one observes the Oasis Deck, where a flat platform and two unfolding gunwales form overwater balconies. This masterpiece took three years from sketch to sea for a repeat client of the famed shipyard, and the result is indeed stunning.
With entirely bespoke interiors designed by Benetti’s Interior Design Department under the expertise of Mariarosa Remedi, the yacht features furniture from one of the owner’s favorite brands, Visionnaire, and lavish living spaces. Iryna is palatial without exaggeration, timeless in leather and woods like curly maple wood, macassar ebony, and marble-effect ceramic tiling.
The amenities are abundant, including a pool, numerous wellness areas, a sauna in the beach club, and a gym on the main deck. The 1,290 GT ship sleeps 15 guests in seven cabins, while the owner’s cabin on the upper deck looks like a fusion of land and sea with wraparound windows, striking statement pieces, and incredible lighting.
“Graceful elegance, balanced proportions, and full of Italian flair and dynamism result in a design that is unmistakably a Benetti,” says Mark Gardiner, Head of Exterior Design, RWD. The quintessential Benetti boat will be delivered at the end of the summer to some very lucky owners.
