Arthur's Way is a 43.6 m motor yacht built by Benetti in 2007 (refitted 2025), for 10 guests in 5 cabins with 9 crew. Charter from US$150,000 per week in summer (Bahamas, Caribbean and Virgin Islands); in winter from US$150,000 (Bahamas, Caribbean and Virgin Islands), plus expenses.
Formerly Blue Vision, a 2007 Benetti Vision 145 that has left the Mediterranean for the Bahamas and the Caribbean, with a twelve-metre fishing tender and a split-level owner's suite.
For years she was a familiar sight in Mediterranean harbours as Blue Vision, one of the Vision 145 yachts Benetti launched in 2007. As Arthur's Way she has crossed the Atlantic and now charters in the Bahamas and the Caribbean in both seasons. Her interior was fully redone in 2016-2017, she was repainted in 2020, and more work followed in 2025.
The move changes how the days are spent. Towed astern is a twelve-metre Intrepid with three outboard engines, rigged for fishing, and the yacht carries gear for deep-sea trips. For an angler who wants to chase big fish in the morning and be back aboard for lunch, that tender will matter more than anything in the salon. The rest of the toy list is made for shallow, clear water: e-foils, Seabobs, paddleboards, a floating pool and a slide from the sun deck.
The best room on board belongs to the owner. It sits on the main deck, is split over two levels and has a curved wall of glass plus a little private deck for breakfast or sundown. The four guest cabins are one deck below. Meals often move upstairs, where the formal dining room has sliding glass doors that open so lunch can spill outside, and the sun deck adds a Jacuzzi, a bar and a barbecue.
The crew keep a few sensible green habits: eco-friendly cleaning products, organic toiletries in recyclable bottles, recycling, and as little single-use plastic as possible.
She suits a family or a group of friends with at least one keen fisherman who want the Exumas, the Abacos or the Virgin Islands at an unhurried pace. If you are planning a Mediterranean summer, or need room for a bigger party, other yachts will fit better.
