Benetti, founded in Viareggio in 1873, is among the oldest and most prolific builders of large motor yachts in the world. The yard offers the widest range of any Italian superyacht builder, from the Delfino series through to fully custom steel vessels of 90 metres and beyond, with 16 examples available for charter in Cuba through The Yacht Collection. That breadth gives charter guests a genuinely varied selection across price points, sizes and interior styles.
Benetti’s Cuban fleet spans several decades of production, reflecting the yard’s consistent output and the popularity of Benetti yachts among experienced charterers who value the brand’s reliability and depth of service network. Interior design varies considerably between vessels: some reflect the classic Italian style of warm timbers and rich fabrics; others follow a more contemporary direction with lighter materials and open-plan social spaces.
Charter rates for Benetti yachts in Cuba 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. With 16 vessels in the fleet, availability is generally good throughout the season, making Benetti one of the more accessible yards for guests booking on shorter notice.
Cuba’s scale and variety suits the Benetti fleet particularly well. Havana’s colonial waterfront, the northern coast beaches, the remote Jardines de la Reina marine park and the western tip of the island at Cabo San Antonio each offer a different character. The range of sizes means the right vessel exists for groups of six to fourteen.
