About this yacht

ARTISAN is a 65-metre Benetti motor yacht launched in 2019 and recently refined with a comprehensive 2024 refit, positioning her at the forefront of contemporary superyacht charter. Built by the prestigious Italian shipyard Benetti, she features striking exterior lines by Giorgio M. Cassetta and bespoke interiors by Bannenberg & Rowell as Brigit Otte Interior Design—a collaborative approach that has earned her recognition within the industry, including the "World Superyacht 2020" award and "Best Exterior Design 2019" at the World Yacht Trophies. These accolades reflect her commanding presence and refined aesthetic across her five decks.

The yacht accommodates twelve guests across seven thoughtfully appointed cabins: a spectacular 160-square-metre master suite positioned on the owner's private upper deck, complete with a private forward bow terrace, lounge, and dedicated office; one additional VIP suite; and five further double and convertible cabins. Each suite features en-suite facilities and is designed to deliver the comfort expected of a vessel in this category. The master apartment's 55-square-metre forward terrace hosts a helipad and dedicated seating, offering a private sanctuary apart from guest areas. Beyond sleeping quarters, ARTISAN's social spaces exemplify contemporary luxury living. A sky lounge features an American-style bar and grand piano, while the upper deck spans 162 square metres of voluminous outdoor entertaining space. The full-beam main deck VIP cabin seamlessly transitions to these generous deck areas, ideal for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. The bridge deck provides an additional outdoor haven with a shaded aft area, wet bar, Jacuzzi, sun pads, and alfresco dining table.

Guest experience is enhanced by distinctive onboard amenities: an elevator servicing all five decks, a dedicated children's playroom permitting families to charter comfortably, a gymnasium on the sundeck, and an open beach club with fold-down terraces and a dedicated swim platform. Water toys—including two Seabobs, paddleboards, jet skis, and a Castoldi jet tender—enable exploration of crystal-clear waters, while the yacht's 44-foot Fjord tender ARTISAN Shadow (launched 2023) facilitates seamless exploration of anchorages and remote destinations. The vessel boasts an extensive transatlantic range of 5,000 nautical miles.

A professional crew of seventeen ensures meticulous service and detailed itinerary planning, whether exploring the sun-drenched islands of the Eastern Mediterranean, the Adriatic coastline, the West Mediterranean, or distant horizons in the Middle East. ARTISAN maintains a cruising speed of 14 knots and a maximum speed of 16 knots, affording flexibility across varied destinations. An ARTISAN charter combines award-winning design by world-renowned studios, comprehensive onboard amenities, and professional stewardship across the world's most coveted cruising grounds. Weekly rates commence from €645,000, with seasonal variation through the summer months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to charter ARTISAN?+

ARTISAN charters €680,000–€720,000 per week, plus VAT and APA. Contact Aris Drivas Yachting for current availability and a tailored quote.

How many guests can ARTISAN accommodate?+

ARTISAN sleeps 12 guests in 7 cabins. Cabin layout: 6 Double Cabins, 1 Convertible Cabins. A professional crew of 17 is on board.

Where does ARTISAN operate?+

ARTISAN cruises the Mediterranean & the Middle East. Summer base: Athens. Custom itineraries are built around your preferences — contact Aris Drivas Yachting to plan a route.

Who built ARTISAN and what are her specs?+

ARTISAN is a 65m (213ft) motor yacht built by Benetti in 2019, with a refit in 2027. Cruising speed 14 knots.

What is included in the charter rate for ARTISAN?+

The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 17, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for ARTISAN before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.

When is the best time to charter ARTISAN?+

ARTISAN charters from €680,000 per week in low season and €720,000 in high season — a difference of about 6% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.

How do I book a charter on ARTISAN?+

Send an enquiry through this page or contact Aris Drivas Yachting directly. We confirm availability directly and hold dates on request, prepare a tailored itinerary and quote, and handle the contract, APA, and crew briefing end-to-end. DRIVAS has been brokering Greek charters since 1972.
