About this yacht
St David is a 60-metre Benetti motor yacht that has earned recognition as a best-in-class charter vessel, previously awarded "Best Charter Yacht" by Robb & Company. Built in 2008 and most recently refitted in 2025, she represents the pinnacle of contemporary yacht design and contemporary charter excellence, combining Italian shipyard craftsmanship with refined interior styling by renowned designer Andrew Winch.
The yacht accommodates up to 12 guests across six cabins, featuring one full master suite and five convertible cabins, ensuring flexible accommodation options for families and larger groups. Her interiors showcase exceptional artisan detail throughout, with distinctive architectural elements including mosaic flooring, sculptured tables that rise and fall hydraulically, intricate marquetry work, and a striking floating staircase that spans three decks beneath a skylight, creating a sense of dramatic verticality and light.
St David's social spaces are equally impressive. The upper deck features a generous circular dining table accommodating all twelve guests, complemented by an adjacent bar area perfect for pre-dinner cocktails. An oversize jacuzzi pool—recently refitted with new pumps and jets—dominates the sun deck, while an alternative dining venue on the deck below offers protected indoor-outdoor service, ideal for al fresco meals in varying sea conditions. Entertainment options are abundant: an outdoor cinema system for stargazing film screenings, a private nightclub for evening celebrations, and a full spa facility with massage facilities and gymnasium ensure every moment aboard is tailored to guest preferences.
The yacht's toy collection is comprehensive and constantly refreshed, including modern tender options, jet skis, e-foils, seabobs, paddleboards, kayaks, and water sports equipment—providing diverse activities across all skill levels. Her professional crew of fifteen maintains the vessel to exacting standards, ensuring seamless service throughout your charter.

What is included in the charter rate for ST DAVID?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 15, 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 ST DAVID before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter ST DAVID?+
ST DAVID charters from €340,000 per week in low season and €360,000 in high season — a difference of about 6% 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.
