Benetti is one of the world’s oldest and most prolific superyacht builders, producing charter yachts from its yards in Livorno and Viareggio since the late nineteenth century. The sixteen Benetti yachts available for charter in the Tobago Cays region make this the largest single-yard fleet in the Grenadines, covering a range from 30-metre family motor yachts through to 70-metre-plus expedition vessels, with something suited to almost every guest profile.
Benetti charter yachts in this fleet span the Delfino, Oasis, Diamond and larger Class series. Construction is in steel or fibreglass depending on model, with Benetti’s in-house interior design team responsible for fit-out across the range. Outdoor entertaining areas are a consistent strength, with large aft terraces, sun decks and beach clubs. Guest cabins run from four to eight depending on vessel length, each finished to Italian standards.
Weekly charter rates for Benetti yachts in the Caribbean range from approximately 60,000 euros for the smaller models to over 450,000 for the largest. The APA, typically 30 percent, covers fuel, provisions, berthing at Union Island and all charter expenses. Peak December to April season sees the best weather and the highest demand across the fleet.
Tobago Cays is a natural centrepiece of any Grenadines itinerary, and Benetti’s variety means different yachts suit different approaches. Smaller models anchor close to Horseshoe Reef for easy snorkelling; larger ones position off Baradal Island for space. Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau, Jamesby and Petit Tabac provide anchorage variety within the park, with Mayreau’s Salt Whistle Bay a short passage north.
