About this yacht
Superyacht ILLUSION V exemplifies the Italian craftsmanship and timeless design philosophy that have defined Benetti for decades. Built in 2014 and recently completed with a comprehensive 2024 refit, this 58-metre motor yacht combines contemporary elegance with refined luxury, offering an ideal platform for unforgettable Mediterranean and Caribbean charters.
Designed by the renowned studio Green and Mingarelli, ILLUSION V's interior showcases exceptional attention to detail through striking materials including onyx, parchment, Lalique crystal, walnut, and fine silks. The result is a homelike ambiance that feels both sophisticated and welcoming, enhanced throughout by generous natural light from the yacht's expansive windows. This careful balance between luxury and livability defines the charter experience aboard.
Accommodating 12 guests across six thoughtfully appointed staterooms, ILLUSION V provides sleeping arrangements to suit various party compositions. The full-beam master suite on the main deck includes a private cinema room, while the full-beam VIP suite and four additional guest suites—comprising one double and three twins—offer serene retreats for every guest. With a professional crew of 14, guests receive personalised service throughout their voyage.
The yacht's exterior living spaces are equally impressive. The expansive sundeck features a Jacuzzi, generous sun loungers, an alfresco bar, and complete dining facilities with clear doors for all-weather enjoyment. The sundeck can even transform into a cinema for memorable evening entertainment. Additional alfresco dining areas on the skylounge aft and main deck aft ensure diverse settings for relaxation and socialising.
ILLUSION V is comprehensively equipped for active pursuits and water-based recreation. Her impressive toy collection includes two custom Seadoo jetskis, three Seabob F5S units, two eFoils for various skill levels, as well as snorkeling and diving equipment. Twin tenders—a 9.5-metre ONDA 371 GT chase tender and 7.5-metre Dariel DT7.5 jet tender—facilitate seamless exploration of anchorages and coastal destinations. A beach club provides direct water-level access for swimming and water sports.
Operating in both the Western Mediterranean—including the coasts of France and Italy—and the Eastern Mediterranean through Greek, Croatian, and Montenegrin waters, ILLUSION V is equally at home in Caribbean waters. Charter rates commence from €350,000 weekly, reflecting her position as a discerning choice for those seeking authentic luxury combined with active adventure and relaxation.

What is included in the charter rate for ILLUSION V?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 14, 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 ILLUSION V before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter ILLUSION V?+
ILLUSION V charters from €350,000 per week in low season and €399,000 in high season — a difference of about 14% 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 ILLUSION V?+
