Benetti staged a special launch ceremony for the second B.Now 67M, just weeks after the delivery of the first, Iryna, which was originally splashed in mid-2024. Known internally as FB287 (Iryna was FB282), the second B.Now 67M will undergo sea trials and final outfitting before her scheduled delivery this summer.
Like Iryna, hull two of the B.Now 67M also features the Oasis Deck® option, which is also offered on the other steel B.Now models (50M, 60M, 72M). All B.Now models feature exterior styling by British studio RWD.
However, while hull one featured by Benetti’s Interior Design Department, the second unit features interiors by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, with Engage Maritime as the owner’s representative.

Daniela Petrozzi, Benetti Sales Director, said: “The launch of FB287 heralds the arrival of the B.Now 67M Oasis Deck® in its ultimate form – a yacht with amazing features that has been significantly adapted to meet a client’s specific tastes and requirements.
“Working closely with the owners and their representatives Engage Maritime, FB287 demonstrates the capabilities of the Benetti shipyard and the possibilities for clients to realise their ultimate expression of the yachting lifestyle. There was strong communication and productive give-and-take on all sides and openness to ideas.”
As the owner wanted customisation beyond the interior, new features include a custom rectangular elevator, a custom guest staircase constructed in marble with a glass balustrade, and widened guest corridors and guest cabin fire doors.

Expanding on the infinity pool offered as part of the Oasis Deck®, custom pools include a spa pool on the hidden observation deck atop the yacht, while the bow on the owner’s deck has a 40cm-deep reflecting pool with waterfall effect.
Other standout features include a full lower-deck gym and spa area with sauna, steam room and treatment room. The Oasis Deck® and aft cockpit flow into a stunning main-deck saloon, which includes a grand piano.
The upper deck is entirely dedicated to the owner and includes expansive forward suite, office and private aft saloon. The aft deck, featuring a seating area and alfresco dining table, is also kept private for the owner, with no stairs up from the main deck.
For FB287, Sinot originally suggested a light ‘beach house’ style and colour palette, but the owner requested a ‘Great Gatsby’ style, drawing inspiration from a reference yacht that featured very rich, high-gloss materials. However, the result in FB287 is slightly lighter, with the decor using woods like sycamore, ebony, wenge, ziricote and macassar, plus marbles selected specially for the owner.
