Superyacht Charter in Menorca

A 40-Metre Hull for Private Time on the Water

Superyacht charter in Menorca comes down to one vessel in this selection: the Benetti Oasis 40, a 40-metre yacht listed for up to 12 guests. Anyone comparing superyacht rental on the island is usually weighing scale, privacy and crew-led service against a smaller motor yacht. Vessels of this size are typically run by a professional crew rather than the charterer. Crew details, itinerary flexibility and what is included should be confirmed before you commit. With a single yacht in the category, the decision is less about choosing between hulls and more about whether this size and guest limit suit your plans.

Twelve Guests, Forty Metres of Space

The ratio of guests to hull length is the figure that matters most here. Twelve guests on a 40-metre yacht leaves more room per person than a typical group charter. That means separate areas for conversation, sunbathing and quiet time, rather than everyone sharing one deck. Cabin numbers, sleeping arrangements and deck layout are not specified here, so ask for them if your group includes several couples, families or a mix of generations. The same applies if you want an overnight stay rather than a day outing. Twelve is a ceiling, and a smaller party will have even more room.

Costs, Duration and Where to Start

Superyacht hire is commonly quoted as a base charter rate, with fuel, provisioning and port costs handled separately, often through an advance provisioning allowance (APA). Ask for that structure in writing, along with the minimum charter length. Mahón, with its long natural harbour, is the island's yachting hub and a logical area to discuss for boarding. Confirm the actual embarkation point for this vessel when you enquire. Because a yacht this size usually anchors off rather than tucking into the smallest calas, ask how swimming stops and tender transfers would work along the coast you want to explore. From €25,000 per day.
