Benetti is Italy’s largest and most prolific superyacht builder, launching steel and fibreglass displacement motor yachts from its yards in Livorno and Viareggio with a breadth of product that spans 38-metre fibreglass hulls to 100-metre custom steel commissions. Sixteen Benetti yachts charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean, offering the widest range of size, style and budget of any yard in the region. Ragged Island, positioned at the foot of the Bahamian chain, provides a compelling destination for Benetti charters seeking waters beyond the crowded northern anchorages. The Jumentos Cays, the blue holes near Andros and the passages toward Acklins Island and Mayaguana all extend from Ragged Island, giving a Benetti charter week a genuine sense of exploration. Charter rates for Benetti yachts in the Bahamas range from 95,000 euros per week for smaller fibreglass hulls to well over 500,000 euros for the largest custom steel commissions. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent applies. The season is November through May, with January through March the busiest period. Ragged Island requires a longer passage from Nassau than the northern Exumas, but Benetti’s range of hull sizes ensures there is a suitable vessel for the crossing, with the larger displacement hulls particularly comfortable on the overnight transit.
