Approaching the impressive structure, one immediately notices the colours of the beautiful Limassol marina waters reflecting along the smooth grey curvature and contours of the motor yacht Iryna.
Built by Benetti, the M/Y Iryna is the first unit in the B.Now 67M series to feature the revolutionary Oasis Deck. It represents a seamless fusion of platform-based engineering and custom craftsmanship, brought to life through a collaboration between RWD (exterior design) and Benetti’s Interior Design Department.
Built in under three years at the Benetti Shipyard in Livorno, Italy, the M/Y Iryna exemplifies the shipyard’s ability to balance standardised platform efficiencies with bespoke luxury. The yacht is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with teak decks.
Powered by 3 x diesel Caterpillar (3512E) 204hp engines, it comfortably cruises at 15 knots, reaches a maximum speed of 16 knots with a range of up to 5,000 nautical miles from her 115,000 litre fuel tanks at 12 knots. The water tanks store around 33,000 Litres of fresh water. The exterior of M/Y Iryna, envisioned by the acclaimed UK design studio RWD, radiates Benetti’s signature blend of graceful proportions and refined Italian dynamism.
Inviting the horizon into everyday life
At its heart lies the revolutionary Oasis Deck, a reimagined aft space that transforms traditional yacht architecture into an immersive experience of open-air luxury. Here, sweeping 270-degree panoramic views invite the horizon into everyday life, while an elegant infinity pool reflects the ever-changing sky and sea.
Fold-out wings erase the boundaries between vessel and ocean, removing conventional bulwarks to create a seamless connection to the water. Spanning 190 square metres, the area is designed as a haven for leisure and socializing – a true waterfront lounge where guests can bask in the sun or retreat to shaded corners throughout the day. This fusion of elements defines the yacht’s social design, making the aft salon a vibrant sanctuary from morning to dusk.
The yacht is fully customised from top to bottom. The hull and superstructure shimmer in a bespoke tri-tone grey palette, a tonal composition developed exclusively for the M/Y Iryna to highlight its elegant lines. Adding to its sculptural impact, curved glazing wraps around up to 70% of the vertical surface, bathing the interiors in natural light and visually amplifying the yacht’s modern, fluid form.
Individuality, craftsmanship and a deep respect for nature
Inside the M/Y Iryna, every detail speaks to individuality, craftsmanship and a deep respect for nature. Under the creative direction of Mariarosa Remedi, Benetti’s Interior Design Department has composed a space that is both luxuriously refined and thoughtfully sustainable – crafted entirely to the owner’s vision.
A rich tapestry of prestige woods, including curly maple and Macassar ebony, brings warmth and texture to the interior palette. The floors are accented with marble-effect ceramic tiles, chosen not only for their elegant appearance but also as a conscious alternative to quarried stone. Complementing these materials, the interiors are clad in chemical-free leathers, marrying luxury with environmental integrity. The entire design reflects a commitment to responsible sourcing. All woods and finishes meet stringent FSC and PEFC certifications, ensuring their origin from forests managed with respect for biodiversity and community wellbeing.
A defining element of the interior is the presence of custom furniture by Visionnaire, a brand personally selected by the owner for its artistic sensibility and impeccable craftsmanship. This bespoke furnishing blends seamlessly into spaces designed as a reflection of personal taste.
An emotional landscape of comfort, sophistication and story
Nowhere is this individual expression more evident than in the guest cabins on the Lower Deck, which were fully conceived in-house by Benetti’s Style Department. Each cabin is inspired by a different season, featuring pleated leathers crafted exclusively for M/Y Iryna and textiles in custom hues, evoking an emotional landscape of comfort, sophistication and story.
The result is an interior that does more than impress – it resonates, revealing a yacht that is not just tailor-made but deeply personal.
The M/Y Iryna has been designed to comfortably accommodate up to 14 guests in seven suites comprising two VIP cabins. The yacht is also capable of carrying up to 13 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience.
It also features a beauty salon, beach club, gym, deck jacuzzi, WiFi and air conditioning.
The M/Y Iryna was delivered in record time, less than three years from first concept sketches, underscoring the efficiency of Benetti’s B.Now platform, even for fully customised builds. The yacht has received Lloyd’s Register certification as the first unit in the B.Now 67M series with the Oasis Deck, recognising it as a benchmark of innovation and quality.
