Arcon Yachts, representing the owner, highlighted the successful collaboration between their team and Benetti. "We are proud to have successfully completed another purchase for our repeat client, working closely with Benetti to build Iryna to the highest standards," said a spokesperson from Arcon Yachts.
The yacht’s exterior features the innovative Oasis Deck® concept, designed to enhance the aft cockpit with a built-in pool and a 270-degree field of view, transforming the space into a social hub. The hull and superstructure are finished in three shades of grey, complemented by extensive curved glazing that covers up to 70% of the vertical surfaces.
Benetti’s Interior Design Department, led by Mariarosa Remedi, crafted the interiors with a focus on bespoke details. The owner’s preference for Visionnaire furniture is evident throughout the design. The interiors are finished with untreated leather, curly maple wood, macassar ebony, and marble-effect ceramic tiling, chosen for its ecological properties.

Iryna’s six decks include a main saloon, a full-beam owner’s suite, two VIP cabins, and four guest cabins. The yacht also features wellness areas such as a sauna in the beach club and a gym on the main deck. With a steel hull and expansive outdoor and indoor spaces, Iryna is designed to accommodate up to 15 guests.
Benetti aims to deliver Iryna to her owner by the end of summer, completing the project in under three years from the initial design concept.
