Benetti, the Viareggio yard and one of the largest superyacht builders in the world, provides one of the Caribbean charter fleet largest and most varied cohorts, with sixteen yachts available for charter in the Sint Eustatius region of the Leeward Islands. The fleet spans from the Class series production models in the forty-metre range to fully custom steel commissions exceeding one hundred metres, covering a wider range of charter budgets and guest capacities than any other builder present in these waters.
Sint Eustatius offers a striking counterpoint to the busier Leeward Islands harbours. The small Dutch island has no marina, no cruise ships and a pace of life that has changed little since the 18th century, when it was the most important free port in the Atlantic. For guests aboard a Benetti charter yacht, it provides a day or two of genuinely unusual Caribbean experience before the fleet moves on to Saba, St Kitts or Sint Maarten.
Sixteen Benetti charter yachts operate in the Sint Eustatius region, accommodating six to fourteen or more guests in three to eight staterooms. Weekly rates range from approximately 60,000 euros for smaller Class series models to over 500,000 euros for the largest custom builds, with advance provisioning allowances of thirty percent throughout. The season runs from November through April.
The breadth of the Benetti fleet means guests can select a vessel matched precisely to their group size, budget and preferred style of charter, from the informal sociability of a forty-metre Class yacht to the full-service grandeur of a large custom commission.
