About this yacht
AELIA, a 56-meter Benetti motor yacht built in 2015 and comprehensively refitted in 2024, stands as a refined option for charter parties seeking comfort and capability across the Mediterranean. Based in Athens, Greece, she combines Italian shipyard craftsmanship with practical amenities designed for large groups and multi-generational families exploring the Cyclades, Croatian coast, Turkish shores, or beyond.
The yacht accommodates 12 guests across eight cabins—six doubles and two convertibles—each appointed with careful attention to detail. Common areas are generously proportioned, featuring a full cinema room for evening entertainment and seamless connections between indoor salons and outdoor decks. The 2024 refit modernized mechanical systems while preserving the yacht's timeless character, ensuring both reliability and contemporary comfort during extended cruises.
Deck life centers on relaxation and activity in equal measure. A jacuzzi offers a serene counterpoint to days spent exploring anchorages, while a notably rich water toy selection includes a Pirelli Chase tender for tender excursions to remote beaches and shallow anchorages. Zero-speed stabilizers provide a steady platform in variable sea states, allowing guests to enjoy meals, rest, or simply take in Mediterranean views without distraction. The yacht cruises at 14 knots with a maximum speed of 17 knots, balancing fuel efficiency with reasonable transit times between destinations.
A professional crew of 15 manages all operations, from navigation and vessel maintenance to personalized service and culinary preparation. This ratio ensures attentive service throughout the yacht without overwhelming common spaces, and the depth of crew experience supports itineraries ranging from Greece's island-hopping classics to less-travelled corners of Croatia and Turkey. Wheelchair accessibility and an elevator serving all decks accommodate guests with mobility considerations, eliminating barriers to full enjoyment of the vessel.
Charter rates for AELIA start at €340,000 per week during shoulder seasons, rising to €380,000 during peak summer months. The yacht operates year-round, with proven availability across the West Mediterranean, East Mediterranean, and Middle East regions. For those planning a Benetti charter in Greece or beyond, AELIA represents a practical, well-maintained platform that prioritizes guest experience without sacrificing the operational integrity that serious cruising demands.
