Benetti is one of the world’s largest luxury yacht builders, based in Viareggio and operating multiple production lines that span fibreglass, steel and composite construction from 27 to over 100 metres. The charter fleet from Benetti in the British Virgin Islands numbers around sixteen yachts, one of the strongest single-yard presences anywhere in the Caribbean, covering nearly every size bracket in the BVI market. Charter parties choosing a Benetti in the BVI gain access to a fleet ranging from sleek contemporary motor yachts to large steel-hulled displacement vessels, with interior styles reflecting the full breadth of Italian design over the past two decades. Weekly charter rates for a Benetti in the British Virgin Islands start near 90,000 euros for smaller examples in low season and rise to 500,000 euros or more for the largest steel builds during peak Caribbean weeks. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel, food, harbour fees and onboard expenses. Fuel efficiency on larger Benetti displacement hulls at cruising speed is generally better than their size suggests, which moderates the actual fuel portion of the APA on a typical BVI week. Road Town on Tortola serves as the commercial hub of the BVI and provides reliable provisioning, fuel and technical services for any Benetti charter yacht. The island circuit from The Baths to Jost Van Dyke and south to Norman Island suits the full range of the Benetti fleet.
