Five Benetti motor yachts on this site list the Caribbean for the winter, from 120 to 145 feet, for 10 to 12 guests, with listed rates from $95,000 to $165,000 per week. Where you join depends on your itinerary, and we confirm it when we quote. Benetti is the Italian yard founded in 1873 near Viareggio, now part of the Azimut Benetti group, and these five were built between the mid-2000s and 2013.
In the Virgin Islands, the heart of the charter market is a crewed catamaran of around 60 feet, our most-booked size, for 8 to 12 guests. These Benettis take 10 to 12 guests on 120 to 145 feet, so the step up is in deck space, tenders and crew, seven to nine where the listing gives a number, rather than in berths. The countdown runs from #5, the shortest, up to #1, the longest, by the length on each listing. Lengths, guest counts and rates are as shown on each listing on 29 September 2026, and every rate is the weekly charter fee before expenses. For every Benetti on the site with rates, see our Benetti charter rate list.
Which Benettis Are Listed for a Caribbean Winter
Four of the five name the BVI among their winter cruising areas; SEASCAPE V names the Leeward and Windward Islands. All five list a refit since 2022.
5. MAMMA MIA
“Pullman Berths for Children, a 32 Foot Chase Boat”
MAMMA MIA is a 120 foot (36.58 m) Benetti built in 2007 and refitted in 2022. Her listing gives Saint Maarten, the Dutch side of St Martin, as her base port, and names the BVI, the USVI and the Leeward and Windward Islands for both seasons. She takes 10 guests in 5 cabins: a king master suite on the main deck, two VIP queens, and a queen and a twin below, each of those two with a Pullman, which suits a family with children. She has a crew of 7.
The sundeck has a jacuzzi and there is an upper-deck lounge with a bar. A 32 foot Intrepid chase boat and an 18 foot Williams jet tender travel with her, plus 2 Sea-Doo Spark jet skis, paddleboards and snorkelling gear, and she has stabilizers at anchor and Starlink.

She has a deck jacuzzi and stabilizers at anchor and underway.

Her listing names the Bahamas for summer and the BVI, the USVI and the Leeward and Windward Islands for winter, and says she can pick up charters in either St Thomas or the BVI. She takes 10 guests in 5 cabins: a full-beam master on the main deck with forward views, and two doubles and two twins below. She has a crew of 7.
The sundeck has a retractable sun roof and a custom jacuzzi, and she has zero-speed stabilizers. The toy list is long: 2 jet skis, 2 Seabobs, a water slide, an e-foil, a wakeboard, water skis, paddleboards and kayaks, with a 32 foot Intrepid centre console and a Williams jet tender. Her listing shows from $105,000 per week, plus APA, across the winter, and $135,000 per week from 19 December to 6 January.
2. ARTHUR’S WAY 143′
“Twelve Guests and Nine Crew”
ARTHUR’S WAY 143′ is a different yacht from #4 with the same name: a 143 foot (43.59 m) Benetti built in 2007, with a refit since 2022, based in Nassau, whose listing names the BVI, the USVI and the Leeward and Windward Islands for both seasons. She is the only Benetti here for 12 guests, in 5 cabins, ten of them in beds and two in Pullman berths, and she has a crew of 9.
The main-deck master has a private terrace, a treadmill area and his-and-hers bathrooms. On the sundeck there is a spa pool, sun beds and alfresco dining for ten, and Naiad zero-speed stabilizers work at anchor and underway. Her listing shows from $155,000 to $165,000 per week, plus APA.
1. SEASCAPE V
“The Longest, Refitted in 2024”
SEASCAPE V is the longest Benetti on this list at 145 feet (44.2 m), refitted in 2024 and based in Nassau. Her listing names the Leeward and Windward Islands and the Bahamas for both seasons. She takes 10 guests in 5 cabins.
The main-deck master is forward, with panoramic windows and his-and-hers bathrooms. Dining is on the upper deck, in a circular glass room whose windows open, and the sundeck has a jacuzzi pool, an open-air dining area and a bar. A 32 foot SeaFox tender with fishing gear, two Yamaha WaveRunners and a set of inflatables including a 4 by 4 metre pool come with her. Her listing shows $152,500 per week, plus APA, for the 2026 to 2027 winter.
How to Choose
For 12 guests, ARTHUR’S WAY 143′ is the only one, and two of those berths are Pullmans. For 10 guests with children, MAMMA MIA’s two cabins with Pullman berths. To board in the Virgin Islands, NAMASTE, whose listing says she can pick up in St Thomas or the BVI; a start in St Thomas adds customs clearance of about 65 dollars per person. For the longest yacht, with an upper-deck glass dining room and a 32 foot fishing tender, SEASCAPE V. For the lowest rate published across the whole winter, MAMMA MIA, from $95,000 per week.

What a Caribbean Benetti Week Costs
Every rate above is the charter fee only. Fuel, food and marina fees come out of an advance provisioning allowance (APA) paid on top, and the listings say any remainder is returned after the charter. The listings’ guide tables use an APA of 35 percent, which puts the five from about $128,250 per week (MAMMA MIA at $95,000 per week) to about $222,750 per week (ARTHUR’S WAY 143′ at $165,000 per week) before gratuity and local fees; we confirm each yacht’s APA when we quote. Crew gratuity is separate and at your discretion, customarily 15 to 20 percent of the charter fee, which on a 95,000 dollar week is 14,250 to 19,000 dollars. The MAMMA MIA, NAMASTE and SEASCAPE V listings add a 14 percent Bahamas port fee or tax on charters in the Bahamas.
In the BVI there is no VAT on charters. There is a cruising tax of 4 to 16 US dollars per person per day, depending on where the yacht is based. There is also a 10 dollar per person environmental levy and park fees; our guide to BVI taxes and fees explains each.
Planning a Winter Benetti Charter
High season in the islands runs from December through April, as our guide to BVI seasons explains. Our brokers advise booking Christmas, New Year and the February and March prime weeks 9 to 12 months ahead; for the rest of the winter, 4 to 8 months out still gives a real choice. June through November is hurricane season, and for bookings in those months we add a hurricane addendum to the contract.
Saint Maarten, MAMMA MIA’s listed base, is also where our 10-day superyacht itinerary starts, with St Barths on the way to the BVI. Peter Island Resort reopened in late 2024, and its Sprat Bay yacht club now takes yachts up to 200 feet, as our guide to BVI restaurants by yacht notes. For the bigger yachts listed for a Caribbean winter, see our list of the biggest superyachts for a Caribbean winter.
