Italian yard Benetti has launched the second unit in its flagship B.Now superyacht series, with the 67-metre model now joining her recently delivered sistership, Iryna, on the water. Sea trials are the next milestone for the steel and aluminium build, followed by final outfitting works ahead of her delivery this summer.
This unit (hull FB287) is set apart from her sistership by several personalised touches, including a custom rectangular elevator, a guest staircase constructed in marble and glass, widened guest corridors and two custom pools. Exterior design is owed to British studio RWD, with Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design selected for the "Gatsby-style" interiors.
Two custom pools expand on the infinity pool concept offered as part of the model's Oasis Deck configuration, in which unfolding gunwales on the lower deck create overwater balconies. A spa pool can be found on the "hidden observation deck", while a 40-centimetre-deep reflecting pool has been installed at the bow on the owner's deck, enhanced by a waterfall effect.
Other standout features include a full lower-deck gym and spa area – complete with sauna, steam room and treatment room – an opulent main deck saloon with a full grand piano, and an upper deck entirely dedicated to the owner. The latter includes a forward suite, an office and an al fresco dining table, with the aft deck only accessible through the owner's area for ultimate privacy.
Accommodation is across seven cabins, with the guest suites finished to the same style and quality as the owner suite.
"[FB287 is] a yacht with amazing features that has been significantly adapted to meet a client’s specific tastes and requirements," said Benetti sales director Daniela Petrozzi. "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."
According to BOATPro, Benetti has an impressive 55 superyacht projects on order or under construction. The Italian yard recently announced Project Life, its largest on-spec project to date at 85 metres.
