Last updated: September 2026
Benetti, the Italian yard founded in 1873 near Viareggio and now part of the Azimut Benetti group, has 7 of the 51 Bahamas listings on our site between 115 and 145 feet, more than any other builder, and all 7 are below, from 120 to 145 feet (36.6 to 44.2 m); an eighth Benetti we list, ALLURIA, cruises the Mediterranean and the Caribbean but not the Bahamas, so she is left out. Three of the seven cruise only the Bahamas; the other four also cruise the Virgin Islands and the wider Caribbean, NAMASTE only in winter.
This page counts all 7 down, from #7, the smallest, up to #1, the biggest, ranked by the length on each yacht’s listing; where two share a length, the newer build ranks higher. Lengths, guest counts and rates are as shown on each listing on 29 September 2026, and every rate is the weekly charter fee in US dollars, before expenses and tax. Where a listing’s spec sheet and description give different years, we use the spec sheet and you can ask us to confirm. For the list with current rates, see our Benetti charter rates.

What a Benetti Charter in the Bahamas Costs
The seven Benettis above list from $95,000 per week (MAMMA MIA and ARTHUR’S WAY) up to $195,000 per week (EMINA’s upper rate). The three 121 foot and smaller boats list from $95,000 to $135,000 per week, and the four of 132 feet and more from $145,000 to $195,000 per week. Our seasons guide says most Bahamas yachts keep fairly level rates year round, but every yacht sets its own calendar and some add a premium for Christmas and New Year, so ask us which end of the range applies to your dates.
Those are charter fees only. The Bahamas charges a flat 14 percent charter tax on the charter fee, not on the APA or the tip, due with the final payment about six weeks before boarding, as our guide to Bahamas charter taxes explains. The advance provisioning allowance (APA) is an advance for running expenses; the guide tables on these listings use 35 percent, and terms vary, so confirm the APA for your yacht with us. The crew tip is at your discretion. On SEASCAPE V, for example, $152,500 per week plus 14 percent tax comes to $173,850 per week, and a 35 percent APA adds an advance of $53,375 per week, a guide total of about $227,225 per week at a 35 percent APA, before the tip; the yacht’s own APA may differ.
Where a Bahamas Benetti Week Goes
Most guests fly into Nassau. The marinas are about 30 minutes from Lynden Pindling International, and if you land by early afternoon you can be at anchor off Rose Island that evening. A 7-night Exumas week that boards in Nassau spends its first and last days crossing the banks to and from the Exumas; our guide on getting to your Bahamas yacht covers the flights into Staniel Cay that skip that crossing. The Exumas stretch about 120 miles and take in Highbourne Cay, Shroud Cay, Warderick Wells, the nurse sharks at Compass Cay, Thunderball Grotto and the swimming pigs near Staniel Cay.
December to May is the dry high season, a description of the weather rather than the rates. March to May is the sweet spot for warm water and steady weather, while December to February can bring cooler, windier days when winter fronts pass through. June to November is hurricane season, when contracts carry a hurricane addendum, as our seasons guide explains. Tell us your dates and how many guests, and we will check which of these Benettis is free in the Bahamas on your dates and send you the brochures.
