Jodi Ann is a 42.6 m motor yacht built by Benetti in 2019 (refitted 2025), for 10 guests in 5 cabins with 8 crew. Charter from US$199,000 per week in summer (Bahamas, Florida and Virgin Islands); in winter from US$199,000 (Bahamas, Florida and Caribbean), plus expenses.
The former Skyler, renamed Jodi Ann and refitted in 2025, now spends the whole year around the Bahamas and Florida, with a set-up built for families who want the Exumas by day and a film night on board.
Until late 2024 this Benetti sailed as Skyler. She changed hands that December, took the name Jodi Ann and went through a refit in 2025. Her charter season now runs all year in the Bahamas and Florida, with the Virgin Islands also on the list, so think of her as an island yacht rather than a Mediterranean one.
Stefano Righini drew the exterior and Niki Fhon of A La Mer did the interior. The most striking room is the owner's suite, which stretches across the whole beam on the main deck. At the push of a button a terrace slides out on each side, so the bedroom becomes a private balcony over the water, and there are separate his and hers bathrooms. The four guest cabins are all on the lower deck, two with twin beds, a layout that suits parents with children better than four couples who all want the same standard of room.
Several details point at families. A water slide runs from the sun deck into the sea, the crew brings a beach barbecue for ten and children's safety and beach kit, and there is an inflatable pool that keeps jellyfish out. Teenagers can learn to ride a jet ski properly, because the yacht is an RYA training centre. When the sun goes down there is a cinema for a film night, and adults who want to keep a routine have an air-conditioned gym with a Peloton bike on the bridge deck, which in Bahamian heat matters.
The tender is the other strong point for these waters. A 10.68-metre Quarken with twin 300 hp engines covers the long, shallow stretches of the Exumas quickly, so a day can include a sandbar picnic, a reef snorkel and a run back to the yacht before dinner.
She is not the yacht for a European summer, and a group of five couples looking for five identical double rooms will find the lower deck too family-shaped. For a multi-generation trip in the islands, she is a natural fit.
