Benetti, the Viareggio yard with over 150 years of motor yacht production, offers the widest range of any Italian superyacht builder, from smaller flybridge models through to fully custom steel vessels of 90 metres and beyond. Sixteen Benetti yachts are available for charter in the Dominican Republic through The Yacht Collection, giving charter guests a genuinely varied selection across price points, sizes and interior styles in one of the Caribbean’s most rewarding destinations.
The Dominican Republic’s varied geography suits the Benetti fleet well. The luxury marina at Cap Cana provides an ideal base for yachts heading east toward Saona Island and the Mona Passage. The south coast marina at Casa de Campo in La Romana is among the Caribbean’s most established facilities. Between the two, the eastern Dominican coastline offers turquoise waters, fishing villages and a coastline largely undeveloped compared to the main resort areas.
Charter rates for Benetti yachts in the Dominican Republic range from approximately 40,000 to 350,000 euros per week depending on size, age and specification. The advance provisioning allowance runs to around 30 percent of the base rate. December through April is peak Caribbean season. The scale of the Benetti fleet available in the Dominican Republic makes it one of the most accessible yards for guests booking on shorter notice.
A Benetti itinerary in the Dominican Republic typically starts at Cap Cana or Casa de Campo before heading east to Saona Island for a day of snorkelling on the sandbanks. The northern passage toward the Samana Peninsula passes Cabo Engano before arriving in Samana Bay for the Los Haitises National Park and, between January and March, humpback whale watching in one of the world’s most reliable calving grounds.
