PATIENCE Yacht Description
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.

For charter, the yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests in 5 cabins: 3 double cabins and 2 twin cabins.The additional double cabin on the bridge deck can be used in replacement of the port twin on a case by case basis. The crew will need to be notified at least 1 month in advance in order to receive approval to use this cabin.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like PATIENCE, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($36,250 - $58,000), making the charter cost $181,250 to $203,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
