Italian shipyard Benetti has launched the 66.2-metre custom superyacht Iryna in a formal ceremony attended by the owner – a repeat Benetti client – and his family. Iryna is the first model in the B.Now 67M series and marks the largest model in the B.Now series to date.
Exterior design is by long-standing collaborator RWD, who has worked along the entire B.Now line. The model is dominated by curved glazing, while this unit in particular features a custom hull and superstructure in three different shades of grey. Iryna also features Benetti's trademark Oasis Deck, which features a flat platform complete with two unfolding gunwales that form overwater balconies.
Other highlights include a pool and numerous wellness areas installed at the owner's request, including a sauna in the beach club and a gym on the main deck.
Accommodation is across seven cabins, including two VIP cabins on the main deck and a full-beam owner's suite on the upper deck. Iryna's custom interiors were styled in house under the direction of Mariarosa Remedi and incorporate custom leather, macassar ebony and marble-effect ceramic tiling – chosen by the owner as a more ecological alternative to marble. The owner also requested that the living spaces feature one of his favourite furniture brands, Vissionaire.
"This event marks an extraordinary milestone for our shipyard and our esteemed owner, to whom we are deeply grateful for his confidence in choosing again to work with us on this project," said Benetti sales director Daniela Petrozzi. "A special thank you goes to our outstanding design team and everyone who has worked so hard and with such passion on the creation of this magnificent vessel."
Key numbers include a 11-metre beam, a draft of 2.95 metres and 500 square metres of usable space. Iryna will be delivered at the end of the summer in a "new record" for the shipyard, having completed the project in under three years.
