Exploring the Elegance of the Benetti B.Now 67M: Lady Estey

Awards and Recognition
In late April 2026, Lady Estey, a remarkable yacht from Benetti, won the Superyacht 60-80m category at the Yacht Style Awards in Singapore. This accolade highlights the yacht’s innovative design and luxurious features.

The Bespoke Experience
When discussing luxury yachts, one often encounters the notion of a neutral interior aimed at appealing to the masses. However, as trends shift towards bespoke designs that resonate with individual preferences, the Lady Estey stands out. Following the launch of Iryna, Lady Estey is the second model in the Benetti B.Now 67M series, showcasing the personalized elements that breathe life into this remarkable vessel. In a landscape where custom touches reign supreme, Lady Estey pushes the boundaries beyond mere upholstery.

Defining Design
The exterior lines of the B.Now family were created through collaboration with British design studio RWD. In contrast, the interior concept, characterized by a beach house aesthetic, emerged from the vision of Dutch studio Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. However, the owner had other ideas. Inspired by a luxurious yacht brimming with high-gloss materials, he envisioned a space that echoed a ‘Gatsby-esque’ style—sumptuous, sophisticated, and inherently personal.

Material Choices
In aligning with the owner’s vision, the challenge for Sinot lay in sourcing materials that aligned with a darker, moodier palette while still staying true to the original light-themed proposal. The final design features a striking monochrome palette with high-quality woods and marbles like sycamore, ebony, wenge, ziricote, and macassar, echoing the grandeur that one would expect from a semi-custom yacht with a fully custom interior.

Welcoming Oasis

The Benetti B.Now 67M is a demonstration of the brand’s expertise in crafting steel-hulled superyachts. Featuring intelligently designated spaces, each level serves a purpose: the main deck caters to guests, the upper deck is for the owner, the bridge deck is where the captain resides, and the lower deck houses a spa and crew quarters. This thoughtful layout enhances privacy while ensuring that service flows seamlessly.

The Oasis Deck Feature
Standout features include the Oasis Deck, a highlight across the B.Now series, showcasing two fold-down side terraces that create extensive lounging areas. Complete with a corner sofa and steps to the main deck, this design allows guests to fully embrace the expansive views and additional beam.

Infinity Pool and More
Equipped with a glass-fronted infinity pool, integrated sun loungers, and a retractable cover that transforms the area into a grand stepped terrace, the aft main deck extends over 170 square meters, making it an entertainer’s dream.

Owner Input

RWD’s focus on a ‘beachside chic’ exterior style is visible throughout the yacht, further enhanced by the owner’s requests for custom pools, including a luxurious spa pool on the observation deck and a serene reflecting pool at the bow that cascades with a waterfall effect.

Owner’s Enjoyment
Upon taking delivery in September 2025, the owner spent a week cruising the Mediterranean before unveiling Lady Estey at the 34th Monaco Yacht Show. His vision brought forth design changes focused on achieving “one harmonious melody” throughout the interior, ensuring that all spaces exude the same high standards.

Saloon, Staircase, Stateroom

The main deck’s saloon captures attention with a polished grand piano—a symbol of opulence and the focal point for social gatherings. The design integrates a luxurious combination of a backlit quartz bar and a fine dining table divided into two, allowing for versatile use when entertaining guests.

Stunning Staircase
A central staircase, crafted from Calacatta white marble, serves as both a functional and aesthetic feature. The fixture not only connects the interiors but illustrates a transition in design, offering glimpses of light that flow through its textured glass balustrade.

Luxurious Accommodations
On the upper deck, the expansive master suite includes a private lobby and a lounge area. A striking black-and-white en-suite bathroom complements the overall luxurious design, incorporating materials that adhere to the owner’s desires for an intimate yet grand atmosphere.

The Theme Continues

The yacht’s interior is a testament to the fact that sophistication can be achieved through thoughtful design. Wide guest corridors with integrated handrails and a spacious elevator are designed to future-proof accessibility. Each guest suite mirrors the elegance found in the master suite, with sleek sycamore finishes and spacious marble en-suites providing a unified experience.

Wellness Facilities
Amenities extend beyond mere luxury. The lower deck boasts a fully equipped gym and wellness area, ensuring that guests can maintain their fitness routines while enjoying their luxurious retreats. Additionally, high-end spa facilities will pamper guests with the ultimate relaxation experience.

Technological Innovations
With a keen focus on sustainable luxury, Benetti is expanding its offerings. Notably, upcoming models in the B.Now series will feature hybrid propulsion technology, aligning with the increasing demand for environmentally friendly luxury yachting.
