Benetti has built more forty metre yachts than any other Italian yard, and the charter fleet reflects that. Thirteen hulls sit in this band, spread across three decades of production from Viareggio and Livorno. The through line is a full beam main deck master, a flybridge with genuine shade and interiors that lean warm rather than clinical. This is arguably the size Benetti does best, large enough for a crew of eight and compact enough to hold a Portofino berth in August.
The range inside those thirteen is wide. Bang! and Sea Bluez are early two thousands boats at thirty five and thirty six metres with five cabins each. Diane, Option B and the forty two metre H sit in the middle, adding gyms, cinemas and beach clubs. At the top are the newest hulls, Alpha Waves from 2023 with a pool, a spa and fold out terraces, and Liv Love, Cada Dia and Northern Escape, all forty point eight metres, built around a beach club at water level.
Weekly rates run from ninety thousand euros for Bang! to two hundred and thirty five thousand for Liv Love and Cada Dia, with the median at one hundred and forty five thousand. Most of the fleet charters between one hundred and twenty and two hundred thousand. Add an advance provisioning allowance of roughly thirty percent for fuel, food, berthing and drinks.
Ten of the thirteen work the Mediterranean. Cofina and Seascape V stay in the Bahamas and the Caribbean instead. Tell us your dates and we will shortlist the hulls that suit.
