Yacht Description
Outdoor living, sorted. EMINA is a 137ft Benetti (built 2014, refit 2022) that leans hard into being outside: a foredeck pool with lounging, a proper beach club at the water’s edge, and a deck jacuzzi for the “we’re definitely moving later” crowd.
Easy water access. Beach club, wide swim platform, and it’s all set up to get people in and out without turning it into a ladder queue. Add stabilizers at anchor, and the boat stays calmer when everyone is parked up.
Toys that get used. Two Sea-Doo Spark jet skis, two Seabobs, a new eFoil, plus wakeboards, waterskis, paddleboards, and a floating pool. Short version: you can keep the active guests busy while the relaxed guests stay relaxed.
Cabins for 12. She sleeps 12 guests in six cabins, including a full-beam main-deck master suite with a separate bathtub and shower, plus VIP suites and two twins. It’s a charter-friendly layout that doesn’t force anyone into the “best cabin” argument.

Charter Reviews
Emina crew & Captain Ollie,
We can honestly say that this was the best charter we have ever been on!
We have never done anything like this before - we didn't know what to expect - but this was truly beyond our expectations.
You made us feel so welcome. Not sure we could have crammed in anymore during our days onboard.
Thank you for providing our "once in a lifetime" experience!
If you ever make it to the middle of the United States - Omaha, Nebraska - please know that you have friends there that will treat you like family.
Thank you again for everything - I will never forget Emina and all my friends.

To the Crew & Captain of Emina,
All I can say is WOW! This is a once in a lifetime experience. You all have woven many amazing experiences into the fabric of my life and for that I am truly thankful. Each day you brought us your smiles and remarkable service.
May your own lives and experiences expand to many wonderful adventures in the future.
Emina crew - Thank you for a wonderful week. We had an absolutely awesome experience. The best crew!!! If you are missing the chef, it's because we took him home with us.
Guest Two:
Best week ever! Thank you for all you did to help us make such wonderful memories. You started out as a crew that we knew would take care of us but who became our friends. Emina is an absolutely gorgeous yacht - hope to visit it again soon! Come and see me in Naples!!
Guest Three:
Emina Crew & Captain,
You all were the most fun crew! Thank you for making our trip the best, all of your attention to details did not go unnoticed. We loved all the different "Welcome back to the boat" cocktails. The karaoke nights were so fun and we loved that you all participated. It was a great week and you all made it so great. Take care, have fun, & be safe.
Tell us the week you have in mind.
We respond within four hours during business hours, with yacht options matched to your guests, dates, and destination.
