With Lady Estey, a 67-meter steel yacht belonging to the B.Now family, Benetti marks a new milestone in its design journey, reaffirming its ability to blend innovation, customization, and style.
A superyacht that puts the owner and their vision at the center, offering an exceptional level of personalization and a design that fully expresses the essence of the Benetti philosophy.
The exterior lines of Lady Estey are by RWD, while the interiors were developed by the shipyard in collaboration with Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. The project was managed by Engage Maritime as the owner’s representative—at their first superyacht experience—with direct involvement throughout the development process. The result is a yacht that embodies the perfect synergy between the shipyard, designers, and ownership.
Designated FB287, Lady Estey showcases Benetti’s remarkable flexibility, having customized numerous details to meet the owner’s requests. Onboard highlights include a rectangular lift, a scenic marble staircase with a glass balustrade, wider guest corridors, and bespoke fire doors.
In addition to the Oasis Deck® infinity pool, the yacht features a spa pool on the Observation Deck and a third pool forward on the owner’s deck—40 centimeters deep and designed with a refined waterfall effect.
The Lower Deck hosts a wellness area complete with gym, spa, sauna, steam room, and massage space. The Main Salon, with its grand piano, opens onto the cockpit and Oasis Deck, creating a seamless flow between interiors and exteriors.
The Upper Deck is entirely dedicated to the owner, with a panoramic suite forward, private office, lounge, and alfresco dining area. The aft section of the upper deck, with its own lounge and dining table, is for the owner’s exclusive use and not connected to the Main Deck, ensuring maximum privacy.
The original B.Now 67M concept envisioned light, natural tones, but the owner requested a richer, more sophisticated atmosphere inspired by the “Gatsby” style. Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design reinterpreted the project with dark wood paneling, lacquered finishes, and contrasting tones.
Fine materials such as sycamore, ebony, wengé, ziricote, and macassar were selected, alongside exquisite marbles and metallic inlays that bring depth and luminosity to the spaces. The central staircase, crafted in Calacatta marble with a glass balustrade, is a true work of art—one of the yacht’s most iconic features.
A key element of the design is the harmony between interior and exterior spaces, consistent with the B.Now philosophy. Although different materials were used, visual continuity was achieved by matching the tones, width, and texture of the oak interior floorboards with the teak decks outside, and by echoing outdoor materials in the interior ceilings.
The result is a yacht that blurs the boundaries between inside and out, maintaining aesthetic harmony and consistency throughout every environment.
