VA BENE Yacht Description
-

VA BENE is built for moving fast, sleeping 10, and turning the sea into your private watersports park. Twin MTUs push this 78ft Posillipo to a 25-knot cruising speed and 30-knot top end, so you spend less time transiting and more time actually doing things. A 2021+ refit keeps the hardware and interiors current, not nostalgic.
Cabin layout is unapologetically practical for groups: 4 ensuite cabins (2 doubles, 2 twins, plus 2 Pullmans) comfortably sleep up to 10 guests without the usual “who pulled the short straw” cabin argument. That makes VA BENE a clean fit for two families, mixed friend groups, or a work trip disguised as a vacation.
Top deck and aft deck are built for real-world usage, not brochure photography. The flybridge offers a sociable sundeck with sunpads and optional shade, plus a sheltered aft deck dining area below for long, late meals without getting fried by the sun. When the tender is in the water, its storage space turns into extra lounging space instead of dead real estate.
On the fun side of the equation: VA BENE carries a 4.2m RIB tender, Seabob, jet ski, adult waterskis, towable tubes, SUPs and snorkelling gear. Translation: you’re not just looking at the water; you’re being dragged, towed, skimming, or submerged in it on demand.
Inside, the brief is “comfortable, connected, and cool”: full air-conditioning, Wi‑Fi, satellite TV and a 50" Samsung screen in the main salon cover the downtime and kid-management requirements. The crew of four runs the boat like a small, efficient system: captain focused on safe, smart routing; chef focused on making sure you remember the meals as clearly as the anchorages.

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.
