A Charter Broker And A Beautiful Benetti

We’re speaking to Bluewater’s Bertrand Mattei, Head of Charter Marketing, to talk about one of his favourite spaces onboard a truly exceptional Benetti.

Benetti is synonymous with timeless Italian elegance. Tell us about one of your favourites.

I’d like to share an experience I recently had on a stunning 37m 2023 Benetti.
I was fortunate enough to spend time onboard M/Y ALLURIA during a fam trip organised by the owner, and I was genuinely proud of how flawlessly the crew delivered the full charter experience.

For anyone who hasn’t stepped onboard as yet, ALLURIA feels calm, elegant, and reassuringly luxurious from the first moment. 

Her design leans toward classic Benetti sophistication rather than trend-led styling, with soft neutral tones, generous use of light, and beautifully balanced proportions. 

She has a welcoming, almost residential comfort that immediately puts guests at ease, making her ideal for longer charters or guests who value comfort as much as style.

With her guest layout, what kind of groups is ALLURIA best suited for?

ALLURIA is particularly well suited to families and multi-generational groups, though she also works very well for couples traveling together or relaxed groups of friends. 

Her layout offers excellent separation between guest areas, generous cabins, and inviting communal spaces, allowing everyone to enjoy time together without ever feeling crowded.

What details onboard ALLURIA really showcase Benetti’s build quality and pedigree?

The quality shows in the sense of volume, stability, and finish throughout the yacht. 

The cabinetry, soft furnishings, and stonework all feel solid and timeless, and the flow between interior and exterior spaces is exceptionally well thought out. 

Storage, headroom, and sound insulation are all subtle but telling indicators of Benetti’s experience in building yachts designed for real comfort at sea.

From a broker’s perspective, what makes ALLURIA an easy yacht to recommend?

Are there particular features that consistently impress charter clients?

ALLURIA is easy to recommend because she delivers exactly what clients expect from a Benetti, space, comfort, and reliability. 

Charter clients consistently comment on how spacious she feels for her length and how smooth and quiet she is underway. 

Her layout, crew professionalism, and overall sense of ease onboard make her a safe and satisfying recommendation for a wide range of clients.

Let’s talk about the crew. How does the team onboard ALLURIA enhance the charter experience for guests?

The crew onboard ALLURIA are highly attentive and naturally hospitable, creating a relaxed yet polished atmosphere throughout the charter. 

They are particularly strong with family groups, adapting seamlessly to different age groups and preferences. 

Their experience shows in the small details, from intuitive service to well-paced days that allow guests to truly switch off and enjoy the yacht.

For clients comparing yachts in a similar weekly rate range, what makes ALLURIA stand out in terms of value?

ALLURIA offers excellent value through her volume, stability, and proven build quality. 

Clients benefit from the space and comfort of a true displacement yacht, paired with a well-run charter operation and a trusted brand name. 

For guests prioritising relaxation, space, and a refined onboard experience, she often outperforms more modern but less substantial alternatives.

Do you have a favourite spot onboard ALLURIA, somewhere you personally enjoy spending time when you visit the yacht?

The upper deck aft is without question my favourite spot onboard. 

The large dining table is perfect for hosting long, leisurely lunches that effortlessly turn into dinners with loved ones, while the chaise longue nearby invites guests to stretch out, relax, and enjoy the views. 

What really sets this space apart is how quickly it transforms. 
In just a few seconds, it can convert from an elegant lunch setting into a relaxed lounge or even a lively disco-style setup, making it just as suited to sunset cocktails and dancing as it is to slow afternoons around the table.

What type of charter itinerary pairs beautifully with ALLURIA?

Any favourite destinations or cruising styles she’s perfect for?

ALLURIA is a natural fit for the Caribbean, especially the St Martin, St Barts, and Anguilla triangle. 

This is cruising at its best, short hops, stunning anchorages, and just the right mix of energy and escape. 

Think shopping and dining in St Barts, barefoot beach days in Anguilla, and relaxed evenings at anchor off St Martin, all enjoyed from the comfort of a yacht designed for slowing the pace and savouring every moment.

For brokers considering ALLURIA for their clients, what should they know about availability, charter style, or the ideal client profile?

ALLURIA is ideal for clients who value space, comfort, and a relaxed, elegant charter style, and who understand that real luxury is having nowhere else to be. 

She’s especially well suited to families and experienced charterers who appreciate a yacht that feels calm, solid, and genuinely easy to live onboard. 

The good news for brokers is that ALLURIA currently offers strong last-minute availability, and with her weekly rate freshly reduced from USD 190,000 to USD 160,000 (which is an exceptional rate for a yacht of this calibre and one that is very rarely seen).

She represents exceptional value in her category. 

It’s the kind of opportunity that makes clients very happy and brokers look quietly brilliant, which, let’s be honest, is always the goal. 

Thank you Bertrand for sharing MY ALLURIA with us.
