Benik is a 54 m motor yacht built by Baglietto in 2009 (refitted 2023), for 10 guests in 5 cabins with 13 crew. Charter from €290,000 per week in summer (Greece, Turkey and Mykonos); in winter from €290,000 (Greece and Turkey), plus expenses.
A 2009 Baglietto by Francesco Paszkowski, now Benik after years as Burkut, with a lift, wheelchair access and a spa with sauna and hammam, kept in Greek and Turkish waters all year.
Benik has worn more names than most yachts of her age. Baglietto launched her in 2009 as Baraka; she later became Berkut and then Burkut, the name many charter guests will remember, and she now sails as Benik. Francesco Paszkowski designed both her exterior and her interior, and her most recent refit was in 2023.
Her most useful feature is one that brochures rarely lead with: she is listed as wheelchair accessible, and a lift connects the decks. For a family bringing a grandparent who uses a wheelchair, or a guest recovering from an injury, that takes away the stairs that make many yachts of this size hard going.
The owner's cabin spans the full width of the main deck and comes with a dressing room and a study. The other four cabins are below: two doubles and two that the crew can make up either as doubles or as twins, which works for a mix of couples and children.
Quiet time is well provided for. A wellness area brings together a sauna, a hammam and a massage room, a library offers somewhere to read away from the group, and there is a piano for evenings on board. On the water, the headline toy is a flyboard.
YachtCharterFleet keeps her in the Mediterranean all year, mainly in Greece and Turkey, so she is an option for spring or autumn weeks in the Aegean as well as for high summer. With beds for ten she cannot take a party of twelve, and a group set on the Riviera or the Balearics should note that her listed waters lie further east.
