BENIK

BENIK is a 33.5-metre displacement motor yacht built by Cantieri di Pisa in 2000 and refitted in 2021, sailing under the Greek flag. Cantieri di Pisa built a reputation across the latter twentieth century for disciplined naval architecture and robust GRP construction, and BENIK reflects that heritage — a vessel where structural integrity and sea-keeping were prioritised from the keel up. The 2021 refit signals a commitment to maintained condition that positions her comfortably among well-kept examples of her generation.

As a charter yacht operating in Greek waters, BENIK accommodates up to 12 guests across five cabins with a crew of six — a ratio that allows for attentive, unhurried service without the formality of larger vessels. She is well suited to families, small groups of friends, or mixed-generation parties seeking a structured base from which to explore the Aegean and Ionian archipelagos. She is less suited to guests seeking the scale and social infrastructure of a superyacht, or those whose priorities lean heavily toward interior entertainment spaces.

Among displacement hulls of her size, BENIK offers reasonable passage-making capability — her range of approximately 750 nautical miles allows extended itineraries between island groups without the logistical constraints that limit shorter-range vessels. A cruise speed of 19 knots is notably brisk for a displacement yacht of 214 gross tonnes, meaning guests are not sacrificing time-on-location for comfortable transits. Both underway and at-anchor stabilisers meaningfully improve comfort during passages and overnight stays in open anchorages.

Life aboard BENIK is oriented around outdoor living and water access. The sun deck and deck jacuzzi serve as natural gathering points, while the water toy inventory — which includes Seabobs, a stand-up jet ski, the Surf Radinn electric surfboard, paddleboards, and fishing and snorkelling equipment — reflects a vessel geared toward active guests who want to engage directly with the sea. The 5.79-metre tender provides confident shore transfers and doubles as a platform for launching the broader watersports programme. Satellite TV and Wi-Fi ensure connectivity for those who require it, without defining the character of the yacht.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
