Broker Review
Onboard visit
Onboard BARENTS, a legendary 50m Benetti charter yacht, very well known for her fantastic interior and stunning bold art. She is an amazing mix of contemporary and classic. Beautiful light wood, use of marble, gold fittings, soft-coloured carpets, and strong art throughout. It all comes together very well.
This winter, two of the cabins were refit and are now convertible. She accommodates 12 guests in 6 cabins, so you can now do up to 6 couples, which is a very strong setup.
The master cabin is above and beyond. The en suite has had a recent refit where they put in new black-and-gold marble, only one year old, and it really stands out. On the other side, they have kept the old marble from 21 years ago. It is a fantastic meeting of new and old, and to me that says a lot about the yacht as a whole.
Lovely sundeck as well. There is a raised deck on the stern, which I immediately thought would be brilliant for a live band and a dance floor. Then a big central bar attached to the jacuzzi, so you can literally sit in the jacuzzi and get your cocktail straight from the bar. Forward, there is another raised seating area which really feels like a lounge at the top of the world, with views all around.
And then little details like the lost and found box. The stewardess puts anything found around the boat there, valuables, earrings, phones, earbuds, anything that could easily disappear or fly away. Small thing, but to me it is a real sign of proper attention and experience.
Of course, she has everything in terms of water toys as well, including jet skis and even 8 Seabobs.
Overall, BARENTS feels like a very proven charter yacht with real style, real personality, and the kind of onboard experience that comes from years of doing this properly.
