At the shipyard in Livorno, "Iryna" came into the hands of her owner, a long-time customer and admirer of the Benetti brand. The superyacht is the first unit in the B.Now 67M yacht line with Oasis Deck® and fills the gap between the 72M and the 60M.
It took less than three years to build, and the reason for this is the proven basis: the platform was designed for other models in the line. Under the strict gaze of the owner's representatives from Arcon Yachts, a custom yacht was created - tailored to the customer's wishes and officially recognised by Lloyd's Register.
"Iryna" comes as a customised superyacht
The steel-aluminium yacht stands out solely due to the colour of the hull and superstructure. The three different shades of grey were created especially for "Iryna" by Benetti. Glass covers around 70 per cent of the entire vertical surface and allows plenty of natural light to stream into the interior. The glazing was designed by Benetti itself, under the direction of Style Manager Mariorosa Remedi.
The exterior lines were designed by RWD - the British studio with which Benetti has worked successfully on the entire B.Now line. Iryna" has also been given an Oasis Deck® concept, which creates a flexible, sociable area at the stern of the yacht in close contact with nature.

Six decks for 15 guests
Benetti's "Iryna" has a total of six decks, with the observation deck at the very top. There are around 500 square metres of usable space in the open air. There is also plenty of space inside, for example in the 65 square metre main saloon or in the master suite on the upper deck. The owners can live here in a prime location, as the wheelhouse and captain's cabin have been moved to the next deck. With two VIPs on the main deck and four cabins on the lower deck, the superyacht can sleep up to 15 guests.
The pleated leather and fabrics, whose colours reflect the four seasons, were designed exclusively for "Iryna". The ceilings are clad in a new type of naturally tanned leather. The ceramic tiles with a marble effect also reflect an environmentally conscious choice of materials. The wood is certified by major environmental organisations, including the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). The design accessories come from Visionnaire, one of the owner's favourite brands.

Uske was born just outside Volkswagen in 1970 and tested various small boats with sails through her boyfriend (now husband 😊) on a quarry pond. Her studies in Kiel took her to the Baltic Sea with boats of all kinds and eventually to a regatta from Hong Kong to Mauritius via the Academic Sailing Club. Her teacher training ended at the Burda School of Journalism in Munich instead of in the classroom and finally at Boote Exclusiv. After a long break and various stories about house building, she returned to Delius Klasing and has been filling the magazine with long stories about large ships ever since. A family-owned H-boat was quickly sold again as the mother realized that sailing with two small children was neither relaxing nor fun.
