M/Y IRYNA IS READY TO SAIL, THE FIRST UNIT IN THE FAMILY OF B.NOW 67M WITH OASIS DECK®
At the Benetti Shipyard in Livorno, M/Y Iryna was handed over to her owner, an established customer and admirer of the Shipyard, which completed the project in less than three years.
The superyacht is the first unit in the B.Now 67M yacht line with the Oasis Deck®, while also demonstrating Benetti’s ability to deliver custom projects. Starting from a platform designed as the base for other models in the line, the Shipyard and owner’s representative Arcon Yachts successfully created the perfect environment in which to accommodate the customer’s requirements and build a tailor-made yacht.
Because of her important place in the Benetti yacht line, M/Y Iryna has received official recognition from Lloyd’s Register certifying the yacht as a point of excellence and “the first unit in the revolutionary B.Now 67M series with Oasis Deck®.”
This steel superyacht stands out for her multiple customisations, not least the colour of the hull and superstructure, personalised with three different greys created especially for this unit. The boat features extensive, mainly curved glazing that covers up to 70% of the overall vertical surface area and lets natural light flood into the indoor spaces, designed by Benetti’s Interior Design Department under the guidance of Benetti Style Manager Mariorosa Remedi.
Some of the settings were designed entirely in-house by the Shipyard’s Style Department, such as the four guest cabins on the Lower Deck that showcase M/Y Iryna’s unique character and detailing. Examples are the pleated leather produced exclusively for this boat and the colours chosen for the fabrics, inspired by the four seasons. The ceilings clad in a new generation leather, tanned using natural materials, and the marble-effect ceramic slabs reveal an environmentally conscious selection of materials.
The choice of wood also involved careful consideration of environmental certifications issued by the most authoritative international bodies, including the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), ensuring responsibly managed forests with a focus on biodiversity and the wellbeing of local communities.
The layout also differs from the original design, particularly in terms of the numerous wellness areas, including a sauna in the beach club and a gym on the main deck, as requested by the owner.
The exterior styling is by RWD, the UK firm with which Benetti has worked successfully on the entire B.Now line. M/Y Iryna features the Oasis Deck® concept, creating an exclusive lifestyle thanks to the design of the stern area as a place for socialising in close contact with nature.
M/Y Iryna has six decks. From the top Observation Deck down to the Under Lower Deck, the vessel is extremely spacious both outdoors, with around 500 square metres of usable space, and indoors, with a 65-square-metre Main Salon and a full-beam owner’s suite on the Upper Deck, made possible by moving the wheelhouse and captain’s cabin up to the next deck. With two VIP cabins on the Main Deck and four cabins on the Lower Deck, M/Y Iryna accommodates up to 15 guests.
The design accessories on board M/Y Iryna are by Visionnaire, a brand favoured by the owner for its excellent craftsmanship and the quality of the materials, both perfectly in tune with Benetti’s mission to offer a unique aesthetic and sensory experience.
