PATIENCE
A member of the timeless Benetti Classic Supreme series, the 132' motor yacht PATIENCE showcases all that Benetti has to offer. Designed by famous naval architect Stefano Righini, M/Y PATIENCE exhibits everything you would expect from Benetti and Righini: luxury and Italian design excellence.

She was built in 2012 and underwent a major engine room refit in 2020 and interior refit in 2022. PATIENCE recently received a refit in winter/spring 2024 that included an AV system upgrade including Starlink, an interior revamp by Patrick Knowles, new linen in all guest cabins, VIP cabins have been upgraded with king beds, gym has been converted into a cabin with a queen bed, and new galley equipment and cabinetry. A 2018 Sea-Vee 390Z has been added along with 2 Seabobs and a Lift Efoil.

The master is forward and features all the luxuries you could want, including a private office, foldout private balcony, walk-in closet, and a large ensuite with a soaking tub and separate shower. Four guest cabins are below deck and are comprised of two double cabins and two twin cabins, all with their own ensuite.

She is the perfect platform for entertaining and relaxing, with expansive exterior space and two on-deck Jacuzzis – one on the sun deck and one at the bow, which is unheard of for a yacht of this size. With multiple areas for formal and informal dining, sunbathing and relaxing, or having drinks with close friends, the possibilities are endless on PATIENCE with her versatile layout.

PATIENCE comfortably cruises at 12 knots, reaching a maximum speed of 15 knots with a range of 3,500nm at 10 knots. She is also equipped with zero-speed Naiad stabilization at anchor and underway for extra comfort while at sea.

FAQ

We’ll be pleased to assist you in deciding which activities suit your personality and interests the best. Your crew and captain are experts. They are familiar with the locale and the greatest things to do. They can give advice on where to go fishing, diving, or snorkeling. They are aware of the locations of the remotest beaches. They can give advice on the top boutiques, eateries, or nightclubs.

We’ll provide you a food choice survey to fill out so we can figure out what kinds of meals you and your visitors would like to eat while you’re away. Along with your preferences, the form will ask about any dietary requirements, medical restrictions, or food allergies that any members of your party may have. Prior to your departure, you will also get the chance to ask any questions of a crew member. The team will next make your favorite cocktails and fresh, gourmet meals for the rest of the voyage.

Running costs are not included in the rates given for motor yacht charters and must be paid separately. Catamarans for sailing must be all-inclusive. The costs are determined by the number of people and cover all meals, drinks (including the typical ship’s bar), fuel, ice, and aquatic activities. Taxes, dockage fees, and communication expenses must all be paid individually.

Food, alcohol, fuel, dockage, port fees, and any other costs associated with the charter are considered running costs.
Typically, the operating costs represent 35% of the base charter fee. A 35% Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) will be paid in advance of your departure, giving the crew time to stock the yacht. A detailed breakdown of all costs will be provided to you at the conclusion of the charter. If there is still a balance, you will get a refund; however, if expenses are higher than the APA, you will have to pay the outstanding balance before disembarking.

Florida’s tax ranges from 6-7%, depending on the port of embarkation, while the Bahamian tax is 14%. The charter cost also includes tax.

What to anticipate if you have to cancel your vacation is covered in your charter agreement. To protect yourself in the event that unavoidable circumstances force you to cancel your trip, we advise buying cancellation insurance.

luxury yacht rental is made to meet all of your requirements for the entirety of your journey. The skipper and crew will do everything possible to meet and exceed your expectations. The captain’s first priority, however, is the security of his crew and the boat. He has the last say on anything that could affect the safety of passengers.

Yes. Although not required, leaving a tip is encouraged, especially if your yacht rental experience left you feeling especially satisfied. At the completion of your charter, you should give the captain a 15% gratuity.

Once you’ve decided on a yacht, we’ll place an “option” on it, securing it for 48 hours while you finish the paperwork. Then, a yacht charter agreement must be read and signed. We are happy to answer any queries you may have and thoroughly explain the terms. You must send your completed contract together with a deposit for the charter.

50% of the charter cost is required as a down payment; however, if there are less than 30 days to departure, the whole amount is due. The deposit is made via bank wire transfer and is kept in an escrow account by the principal agent of the yacht until just before the charter date. You have secured the yacht once we get your signed contract and down payment.

We’ll start collaborating with you to customize your charter. Your food and exercise preference survey will be delivered to you. We’ll set up a phone call for you and the crew. We will assist you in planning all charter-related details, including transportation in a limousine and flights.

If you are renting a motor boat, the APA funds and the remaining balance of the charter are due 30 days before the start of your trip.
