Charter destination
Golfe Juan
About this yacht
WILLOW is a 42-metre Benetti Veloce 140 motor yacht built in 2017 that has established herself as one of the most sought-after charter vessels in her class. Designed by the acclaimed Stefano Righini, her modern and bright interior was meticulously styled by Andrea Longinotti, creating spaces that balance contemporary elegance with functional luxury. Since entering charter service, WILLOW has built an exceptional reputation, attracting discerning repeat clients who consistently rebook her year after year.
The yacht accommodates up to ten guests across five well-appointed cabins—one master suite, one VIP cabin, one double cabin, and two twin cabins—making her ideal for families, multi-generational groups, or small corporate gatherings. A professional crew of eight ensures seamless service throughout your voyage. Her generous 8.5-metre beam provides remarkable internal volume and expansive deck spaces that define the charter experience aboard this vessel.
WILLOW's layout prioritizes social spaces and outdoor entertaining. The main saloon features plush dining and seating arrangements perfect for evening gatherings, while the sky lounge offers a bar, comfortable seating, and unobstructed ocean views. For alfresco dining, the aft deck provides an inviting setting, and the tailored sundeck—complete with a Jacuzzi and bar—offers the ultimate relaxation venue. Forward on the main deck sits a beach club with bar, seamlessly connecting guests to the water and establishing a resort-like atmosphere at anchor.
The yacht's technical features enhance both comfort and capability. Twin MTU 12V4000M93 engines deliver a maximum speed of 21 knots with a comfortable cruise speed of 17.5 knots, while zero-speed stabilisers significantly reduce rolling motion when anchored. Her comprehensive watersports inventory caters to active guests—from jet skis to diving equipment—with a dedicated tender for seamless water access. An on-deck gym equipped with top-of-the-range exercise equipment ensures guests can maintain their routines while cruising.
Based in Golfe Juan, WILLOW operates throughout the Western Mediterranean, where her shallow draft and responsive handling make her equally at home exploring the Croatian coast, the Greek islands, the French Riviera, or Italy's most exclusive anchorages. Client feedback consistently praises both her layout and the calibre of her professional crew, with guests particularly noting the exceptional quality of watersports delivery and the warm, hospitable service throughout their charter.
WILLOW charter availability fills quickly year-round, reflecting her proven track record as a crowd-pleasing platform for memorable Mediterranean vacations.
