The ultimate charter experience can be reached easily, even if you decide to do it for the first time. Depending on your wishes we pick up three new yachts, which are available for charter.
Rebeca
Benetti
40,1m
Rebeca was built on the innovative Benetti Oasis 40m platform and has a perfect balance between the time outside and inside. A true blend of Italian elegance and British understatement packed with subtle design features that create a different experience. Her exterior was made by RWD.
Enrico Bonetti of Bonetti and Kozerski Architects in New York penned her interior design. One of the most significant features is a huge beach terrace with unique fold-out wings either side that push the boundaries of space potential on a 40m yacht. The inviting glass infinity pool is almost at sea level, creating the illusion of sea bathing with the reality just a few steps away. There are toys aplenty and the deck crew will help you get the most out of every one of them.
For a more sedate ocean experience, a hydraulic bathing platform makes the water safely accessible for all. The gym, hot tub and amazing living area also can be found on board. Rebeca can accommodate up to 11 guests in five suites comprising a master suite, one VIP cabin, two double cabins and one cabin that can operate as twin or double.
She is available for charter with Burgess. The price starts from USD 238,000.
Panam
Baglietto
40m
Panam was built and delivered in 2021 by the famous Italian brand Baglietto. The yacht participated at this year's Cannes Yachting Festival and features the signature of Francesco Paszkowski Design both for the exterior and the interior, the latter in collaboration with Margherita Casprini.
Sleek and aggressive, this 40m has impressive performances, ensured by the aluminum alloy hull and three MTU engines 16V2000 M96L and three KaMeWa water-jet engines (n. 2 x S71-4 on the sides and one central booster S63B-4), which push her up to a maximum speed of 31 knots and a pleasant cruising speed of 25 knots.
