Popular for charter Benetti power yachts

The Italian build/design team at Benetti is well known for creating pretty motor yachts with well appointed interiors and beautiful craftsmanship. Another aspect to note is that the Benetti shipyard looked to the charter industry to tell them what clients like and how they use their yachts.

This means a power yacht built by Benetti will have a layout that includes a full master suite, guest accommodations with queen or king cabins, full audio visual systems, plenty of space for entertaining and room for all the water sports toys you could imagine. Newer builds comply with the recent upgraded EU standard the MCA code and can legally trael and charter around the world. Newer builds also usually take advantage to the sun deck for privacy and hot tubs with full service bar to make it an around the clock hang out location.

Chartering a Benetti is easy and a first great step to purchase. Try the lovely 147’ motor yacht Candyscape in the Med this summer, the 118’ Shalimar in the Caribbean or 100’ Mariah in the Bahamas.

Charter 112 Westport Kelly Sea in the Bahamas

I had the opportunity last week to go stem to stern on board the 112 Westport Kelly Sea while she was docked at Yacht Haven Grande in St. Thomas. Captain Palmer Cole is a charming fellow, who after spending time delivering Westports for the shipyard, helped this owner put together all the details to make Kelly Sea the best equipped yacht for charter and owner use.

With a focus on fishing, this crew is well trained and also able to produce amazing food with a room and well stocked wine cooler. The Kaleidoscope media system is usually only found on larger yachts and offers streaming movies, music and internet to any of the many large flat screens throughout Kelly Sea.

Roomy and luxurious, Kelly Sea was designed for relaxed living and entertaining. Her large hot tub on the sun deck is perfect for stargazing with a glass of champagne at the end of a long active day.

Kelly Sea is also available for sale and offers a turnkey operation, set for chartering, fishing and fun! Charter before you buy this summer in the Bahamas.
