Fast between anchorages. VA BENE is a 23.9m (78'5") Posillipo motor yacht built in 2000 and refit in 2021, with a 25-knot cruising speed and up to 30 knots on tap when you want to get on with the day.
Outdoor living, sorted. The flybridge gives you a sociable deck with sun pads and the option of bimini shade for comfortable meals, while the main deck aft stays sheltered under the overhang. Easy, practical layout. No drama.
Swim platform access. Steps lead down to the swim platform, which is where most charters actually happen: in and out of the water, on repeat, with the tender and toys launched straight from there.
Toys and tech. You have a 4.20m inflatable tender with a 40HP outboard, plus 2x SUP, waterskis, towable tubes, snorkeling gear, 1x Seabob and 1x jet ski. Back inside, the main salon has a 50" Samsung LCD with satellite TV, along with Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Family-friendly sleeping plan. VA BENE sleeps 10 guests in 4 cabins: 2 doubles plus 2 twins, with 2 Pullman berths for extra flexibility.

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 VA BENE, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€6,500 - €10,400), making the charter cost €32,500 to €36,400. 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.
