Benetti, the Viareggio and Livorno yard producing luxury motor yachts since 1873, offers one of the widest ranges in the charter market, from the fibreglass Motopanfilo series through semi-custom GRP builds to full custom steel commissions above 100 metres. The breadth of the Benetti fleet means charter guests in virtually every budget segment can access the yard’s name and heritage, while guests seeking the largest commissions will find some of the most significant private vessels in the world within the same brand. Chartering a Benetti in Saint Martin gives access to this full range in an island destination that matches the cosmopolitan character of the vessel.
Saint Martin’s French side brings Marigot with its waterfront market and genuinely French cafe culture, Grand Case with its line of restaurants from street-level grills to Michelin-calibre kitchens, and the sheltered bay at Anse Marcel to the north. The Dutch side holds Simpson Bay Lagoon, the Caribbean’s largest protected waterway, and the practical infrastructure of Sint Maarten including Princess Juliana airport, fuel docks, chandleries, and multiple marinas. Benetti charter rates in the Caribbean range from 75,000 euros for smaller hulls to well over 500,000 euros for the largest commissions. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent.
Oyster Pond on the east coast provides a calm alternative anchorage on the French-Dutch border, with a marina and sheltered water.
