Why charter Soundwave?
When it comes to the charter market, few yachts can offer this winning combination of space and style as Soundwave. This, coupled with a 2025 refit, means that the 63-metre Benetti stands in immaculate condition this charter season, ready to whisk guests around the Western Med, or the Caribbean in winter. One of the key features on board the yacht for charter is her dual master suite arrangement – one on the upper deck and one on the main deck.
“She just finished an incredible refit,” says Edmiston charter broker and fleet manager, Holly Huffstetler. “She has a charter-friendly and experienced crew who know the best spots in both the Mediterranean and Caribbean for optimal cruising, the yacht is impeccably maintained.”
Her striking Art Deco interiors are by Candy & Candy, and feature dark gloss panelling, mirrored accents, bespoke chandeliers and flawless Italian marble, setting the scene for high-end entertaining.
Outside, guests can make the most of the summer rays on the huge sun deck with a spa-pool, multiple al fresco dining spots, a complete wellness centre with steam room and massage suite, and an enviable toybox ranging from jet skis and flyboards to Seabobs and towables.
Whether it’s sipping cocktails at the fluted stone bar at sunset, hosting a dinner for 12 beneath the stars, or making a splash from the waterslide, Soundwave ticks all the boxes.
Interior Mood
Stepping inside Soundwave is like entering a 21st-century interpretation of Art Deco glamour. Candy & Candy’s vision pairs the movement’s signature geometric precision with a yacht-appropriate sense of softness.
High-gloss, dark Macassar ebony-style panelling forms the backbone of the design, its rich tones mirrored by polished stainless-steel accents and bevelled edges. The main salon’s dramatic symmetry is anchored by a central chandelier of faceted glass and stepped metalwork, as well as pale furniture keeps the atmosphere light. The bars, both in the main deck lounge and sky lounge, are showpieces in their own right, with layered glass shelving, mirrored backdrops and chrome details.
The result is a cohesive, high-gloss interior that feels equal parts London townhouse, Milan atelier and classic Deco penthouse. The perfect backdrop for both grand entertaining and quiet retreat.
How many guests does Soundwave sleep?
Accommodation on board is for 12 guests across six well-appointed cabins.“Two masters is a fantastic feature,” adds Huffstetler. “Ideal for charter parties with two families, or any other guest make-up which requires versatility.”
Her two master suites are a rare highlight, the first, on the upper deck, offers sweeping 180-degree views over the bow, a private foredeck pool and al fresco lounge area. The second is on the main deck and features an office and walk-in dressing room. Two double cabins and two convertible twin cabins complete the versatile guest accommodation, each with its own ensuite bathroom.
Bathrooms continue the Art Deco feel, with lots of marble and mirror, with chiselled corners, recessed lighting and chrome hardware. Small touches like orchid arrangements, crystal perfume bottles and neatly rolled monogrammed towels continue the refined feel.
Best deck moments
Outdoor living is Soundwave’s calling card. The sun deck aft offers a resort-style pool with English spa inspiration, surrounded by sunbathing areas and a fluted bar for casual lunches. On the upper deck aft, a 14-seat dining table sets the scene for al fresco dinners, accompanied by a striking bar carved from over a ton of Italian stone.
Her wellness amenities continue and include a mosaic-tiled steam room, smoky quartz stones for healing, and a cool white marble treatment room with an onboard masseuse.
Toys and wellness
Soundwave’stoybox is packed for adventure, from jet skis, flyboards and windsurfers to Seabobs, wake foilers and a full range of towables.
Guests can paddleboard and kayak through tranquil bays, surf with learner boards, or dive beneath the waves. For quick hops to shore, her custom 8-metre Benetti limo tender can whisk guests away at 38 knots. Just some of the toys on board include:
- Kayaks
- Seabobs
- Flyboards
- Jetskis
- Windsurf
- Fishing equipment
