Lady MRD — 41.9m Benetti for Charter in Croatian Coast
Charter destination
Zadar, Croatia
About this yacht
Lady MRD is a 41.9-meter Benetti Crystal 140 motor yacht built in 2015 and comprehensively refitted in 2023, representing an exceptional choice for discerning charter clients seeking style and substance in equal measure. Her exterior, penned by renowned naval architect Stefano Righini, cuts an unmistakably elegant profile on the water, while her interior by celebrated designer François Zuretti strikes a sophisticated balance between dark woods and soft furnishings that creates an atmosphere of understated luxury throughout.
The yacht accommodates 12 guests across five thoughtfully appointed cabins—a full-beam owner's suite with panoramic windows, two double cabins, and two twin cabins—all serviced by a professional crew of eight. Her generous interior volumes and expansive near floor-to-ceiling windows flood the main and upper salons with natural light, creating inviting spaces for both intimate gatherings and larger entertaining. The formal dining table seats ten, while the main salon's sit-up bar and comfortable seating arrangements encourage relaxation and socializing. Above, the skylounge provides an additional lounge space ideal for quiet evenings or movie nights with sophisticated audiovisual technology.
Lady MRD's most distinctive feature is her head-turning beach club aft—a convenient swim platform that seamlessly transitions guests to the water. The impressive 110-square-meter sundeck, elevated with loungers and a Jacuzzi, serves as the social heart of the yacht, offering panoramic vistas and a full bar for al fresco entertaining. The comprehensive toy collection includes a Chase jet-tender, jet ski, Seabobs, waterski equipment, paddleboards, and an electric surfboard, alongside onboard amenities including a Technogym 2025 fitness system and a full-beam pool.
Based in Zadar, Croatia, Lady MRD is ideally positioned for Eastern Mediterranean charters throughout the Adriatic and Greek Islands, where her manageable size delivers the intimacy of a private yacht with the capabilities of a much larger vessel. Her 15-knot maximum speed and 14-knot cruise speed ensure efficient transits between Croatia's medieval ports, hidden coves, and the crystalline waters of Greece. Immaculately maintained and charter-proven, Lady MRD offers the perfect platform for memorable adventures in one of Europe's most compelling cruising grounds, available at rates from €196,000 to €210,000 per week depending on season and region.

What is included in the charter rate for Lady MRD?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 8, 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 Lady MRD before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter Lady MRD?+
Lady MRD charters from €196,000 per week in low season and €210,000 in high season — a difference of about 7% 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.
