BARENTS — 50m Benetti for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
BARENTS is a distinguished 50-metre Benetti motor yacht built in 1999 and recently refreshed through a comprehensive 2021 refit that brings her in line with contemporary luxury standards. This Italian-built vessel represents the refined pedigree of Benetti's fourth series of 50-metre yachts, with interior styling attributed to the acclaimed Stefano Natucci, who worked in close collaboration with the yacht's owner to create spaces of exceptional elegance and originality.
Accommodating twelve guests across six cabins—comprising one master suite, one VIP cabin, two double cabins, and two twin cabins—BARENTS offers the intimate scale favoured by those seeking personalised service without the formality of larger flagships. A professional crew of eleven manages all aspects of the voyage, allowing guests to focus entirely on relaxation and exploration.
BARENTS gained international recognition as the charter yacht "HONOR" featured in season one of the popular Bravo television series Below Deck, a testament to her sophisticated design and guest experience capabilities. Her recent refit introduced modern conveniences including new audio-visual systems, a 65-inch Sunbrite television on the sundeck, and updated mechanical systems, all while preserving the classic aesthetic of her honey-coloured oak burl joinery that defines her interior character.
On-deck amenities reflect a philosophy of refined leisure. An enlarged Jacuzzi occupies prime position on the sundeck, while numerous dining possibilities—both alfresco and sheltered—encourage flexible entertaining throughout the day. A full gymnasium supports active guests, and generous deck areas provide peaceful retreats for those seeking solitude. Powered by twin MTU 12V 396 TE94 engines delivering 18.5-knot maximum speed and 16.5-knot cruising capability, BARENTS covers considerable distances with impressive range of 3,500 nautical miles while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency.
The water sports programme is comprehensive, featuring an 11-metre tender, Sea-Doos, Seabobs, iAquas, multiple canoes, paddleboards, and complete snorkeling equipment alongside fishing rods for those seeking active pursuits. This versatility makes BARENTS equally at home anchored in the sheltered coves of the Ionian Islands or exploring the crystalline waters of the Cyclades and Dodecanese.
Based in Athens, BARENTS operates throughout the Mediterranean with particular expertise in Greek island cruising and the Eastern Mediterranean. She regularly explores the Amalfi Coast, Croatian Adriatic, and French Riviera waters. Her charter rates range from €155,000 to €185,000 weekly depending on season, offering exceptional value for a fully crewed Benetti charter yacht of this calibre and proven guest satisfaction record.
