Benetti is one of the oldest and largest Italian yacht builders, producing custom and semi-custom steel and fibreglass motor yachts from its yards in Viareggio, Livorno and Fano since 1873. The yard output ranges from the fibreglass B.Now and Classic series through to fully custom steel hull vessels in excess of 90 metres, and the breadth of the range means the sixteen Benetti yachts chartering in Puerto Rico cover a meaningful spread of sizes, interior styles and price points. From well-proportioned 40-metre vessels carrying five staterooms and a crew of eight to full-custom 80-metre flagships with dedicated helicopter facilities and twenty crew, the Benetti fleet in Puerto Rico offers more genuine choice than any comparable marque in the Caribbean. Interiors range from the Italian contemporary palette of the semi-custom programs to the fully bespoke commissions that distinguish the larger hulls, with design houses of international reputation contributing to the most celebrated Benetti charters. Weekly charter rates across the Puerto Rican Benetti fleet run from approximately 80,000 to 400,000 euros per week, scaling with length and specification. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent is consistent across the fleet. High season runs from December through April. Puerto Rico infrastructure, particularly Puerto del Rey marina in Fajardo and the Old San Juan anchorage, accommodates the full spread of Benetti vessel sizes. The island passage east to Culebra and Vieques, and the cultural richness of Old San Juan, provide a charter experience that matches the ambition of the Benetti marque.
