BENIK Yacht Description
-
Four Seabobs for underwater exploration:
Top-tier Seabob seascooters let guests dive and explore crystal waters with ease and excitement. -
Jacuzzi on expansive sundeck:
Relax in the luxurious hot tub while enjoying panoramic ocean views and unforgettable sunsets. -
Zero-speed stabilizers at anchor and underway:
Enhanced stability means smoother cruising and better sleep—even in choppier seas for more destinations.
Start with the main cheat code: BENIK is a 40m Heesen that sleeps 12 guests in 7 cabins – a layout you almost never see at this size. If you’re trying to move a big family, two VIP couples, and some extra humans without starting a cabin war, this is the button you press.
Top deck = actual lifestyle, not just cushions. The sundeck runs a proper deck Jacuzzi, big sunbathing zones and one of three alfresco dining areas, so breakfast, lunch and dinner can all happen outside without repeating the same table shot for Instagram. You get the “big yacht” outdoor flow in a 40m footprint.
Refit money where it matters. Originally built in 2002 by Heesen and treated to a major refit program through 2024/2025 (around €2.6m invested), BENIK runs like a modern platform: upgraded systems, refreshed interiors, new stabilizers and AV. Translation: classic Heesen hull, current‑generation experience.
Comfort while moving, not just at anchor. New zero‑speed stabilizers with larger fins mean less glass tipping, fewer kids sliding off sofas, and more guests pretending they “never get seasick anyway.” Add full AC and a quiet, contemporary interior and you’ve got an all‑ages, all‑conditions charter machine.
Toy locker, not token toys. One jet ski, 4 Seabobs, Flyboard, wake jet board, towables, SUP and snorkelling/fishing kit turn the stern into a small watersports park. This is built for groups who actually plan to get wet, not just look at the ocean from a lounger.
Why pick BENIK over the next white boat on your screen: more cabins than most 40m yachts, a serious refit, real stabilizers, a Jacuzzi you’ll actually use, and a toy list that keeps both teenagers and adults busy. If your brief is “maximum use of space, minimum compromise,” this is the rational choice hiding behind the shiny photos.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like BENIK, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€28,750 - €46,000), making the charter cost €143,750 to €161,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
