Last updated: September 2026
Here are four Benetti yachts we list whose listings name the French Riviera among their summer cruising areas: an 88 foot sailing yacht from 1983 and three motor yachts from 120 to 164 feet, with weekly rates from €28,000 per week for MY LOTTY up to €265,000 per week for BOMBAY.
Benetti is an Italian yard, founded in 1873 near Viareggio and now part of the Azimut Benetti group. The countdown below runs from #4, the smallest, up to #1, the biggest, by the length on each listing. Every length, guest count and rate comes from the yacht’s current listing, as listed in September 2026, and each “from” rate is the lowest weekly charter fee on that listing’s rate box, before running expenses.
About the Four
The four here were built between 1983 and 2016: MY LOTTY dates from 1983, AURA and GRANDE AMORE from 2006 and BOMBAY from 2016, and all four have been refitted, in 2018 or later.
Three take 10 guests; GRANDE AMORE is the only one that takes 12, and she is a Benetti Vision, with an exterior by Stefano Righini.

What a Benetti Charter on the Riviera Costs
Starting rates run from €28,000 per week for MY LOTTY to €230,000 per week for BOMBAY, who reaches €265,000 per week. GRANDE AMORE, with 12 guests, starts at €160,000 per week. Ask us for AURA’s current weekly rate.
Those are charter fees only. Fuel, food and marina fees come out of an advance provisioning allowance (APA) paid on top; these listings put it at 30 to 35 percent of the fee, and whatever is not spent is returned after the charter. VAT depends on where the charter starts and ends, and the crew gratuity is at your discretion. Ask us for the all-in figure for your week.
Events and Your Dates
All four list Sardinia, and MY LOTTY’s listing also says charters are possible in Corsica.
Event weeks such as the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes Film Festival are in demand and may be priced differently on some yachts, so ask us for event-week rates: see our pages on the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes Film Festival. These are 2026 guide rates; 2027 rates may differ. Tell us your dates and how many guests, and we will check which of these Benettis is free and send you the brochures.
