Benetti, the Viareggio yard with origins in 1873, is the largest and most historically significant Italian yacht builder, producing vessels from semi-custom motor yachts in the thirty-metre range to the largest full-custom superyachts in the fleet. Sixteen Benetti yachts are available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean, providing one of the most consistently available and well-resourced builder fleets in the Atlantic charter market.
Staniel Cay sits at the heart of the Exumas chain, surrounded by some of the Bahamas’s most remarkable natural features. Thunderball Grotto’s underwater cave, the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay, the nurse sharks at Compass Cay, and the shallow reef system of Pipe Creek all lie within a short distance of a Benetti anchored in the Staniel Cay area. The Staniel Cay Yacht Club provides a welcoming base between explorations.
Weekly charter rates for Benetti yachts in the Bahamas and Caribbean range from around 40,000 euros for the smaller semi-custom vessels to over 400,000 euros for the largest full-custom superyachts, with the advance provisioning allowance adding approximately thirty percent for fuel, provisioning, wines, and marina costs. The breadth of the Benetti fleet means there is an option for virtually every charter group size and budget.
A Benetti at Staniel Cay gives the charter guest access to one of the Bahamas’s most rewarding natural concentrations aboard a vessel from one of the world’s most experienced yacht builders.
