GRANDE AMORE — 44.2m Benetti for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
Built in 2006 by the prestigious Italian shipyard Benetti, GRANDE AMORE represents a masterclass in classic motor yacht design refined through expert collaboration. The vessel was conceived through the creative partnership of interior designer François Zuretti and exterior designer Stefano Righini, resulting in a sophisticated aesthetic that seamlessly marries traditional elegance with contemporary style. A comprehensive refit completed in 2023 has restored her to pristine condition, ensuring that this 44.2-meter motor yacht delivers the refined experience discerning charterers expect.
Measuring 145 feet in length with a beam of 9.26 meters, GRANDE AMORE accommodates twelve guests across six beautifully appointed ensuite staterooms—comprising one master suite, one VIP cabin, two double cabins, and two twin cabins with pullman berths. The master suite and VIP stateroom both offer expansive 180-degree views, while a professional crew of nine ensures seamless service throughout your charter.
The interior exemplifies understated luxury. Guests enter through an impressive foyer that opens into a vast, open-plan main salon flooded with natural light from full-height windows. This flowing space naturally transitions into a formal dining area, ideal for elegant meals prepared by the onboard chef. A dedicated bar area and generous exterior deck spaces provide ample venues for entertaining or intimate relaxation. An onboard elevator provides convenient access to all decks—a practical luxury aboard a yacht of this caliber.
The exterior spaces are equally inviting. The sundeck features a Jacuzzi and sumptuous sun lounging areas, while the main deck aft offers sheltered alfresco dining with movable seating. The bow section provides a private terrace for the master suite occupants, complete with panoramic views and semi-circular seating. A waterside beach club with sauna and fully equipped gym cater to wellness, while an extensive collection of water toys ensures engaging recreation.
Additional amenities include air conditioning throughout, complimentary Wi-Fi, wheelchair accessibility, and comprehensive exercise equipment. GRANDE AMORE is an exceptional choice for those seeking a high-end luxury charter combining timeless design, modern comfort, and generous entertaining spaces in the Mediterranean and Greek waters, with weekly rates from €160,000.

What is included in the charter rate for GRANDE AMORE?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 9, 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 GRANDE AMORE before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter GRANDE AMORE?+
GRANDE AMORE charters from €160,000 per week in low season and €189,000 in high season — a difference of about 18% 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.
