BEN Charter d.o.o. is a newly established charter company, founded on the principle that yachts are man s most clever invention and that the coast of Croatia is the best place to enjoy them. THE FOUNDERS The founders have been cruising extensively in Croatia for many years, and have teamed up with pleasant and gifted Croatian partners, to offer a truly remarkable experience for discerning holiday makers. The first yacht in our fleet is the beautiful little ship MY CoCo, ready to take you on an unforgettable journey along the coast of Dalmatia. WHY? Within the intimate limits of a boat you are together with people you really care about. Nobody is coming or going, they are just there. Look out to the blue, and take in the biggest space on earth. Spend the day as Robinson Crusoe in a secluded bay, or tie up at a hustling and bustling town jetty.
The freedom to go where you want and do what you please are the core qualities of yachting. And it s comfortable. You can have as many hot showers and ice cubes as you want. Beds are high quality. The galley is equipped to turn out any kind of dish. Climate can be controlled. Clothes can be washed. Great seating and lounging in different places. Books, music, films and wi-fi. And it s fun. Waterskiing, sailing, rowing. Swimming and snorkeling. Stargazing or board games. Take part and learn navigation and maneuvering. Go ashore for shopping, jogging, dining or dancing. History and culture everywhere. Opportunities are endless. And it s safe. An experienced captain will take good care of you. All safety equipment are upto-date. The yacht is well proven and well maintained. The ships medic chest is kept current by real pharmacists. The cruising area is familiar, and bad weather (extremely rare...) never comes as a surprise. CROATIA With 6000 km of coastline and 1200 islands, the Croatian coast is simply unique. Add it s mild Mediterranean climate and crystal clear water, and you have a true paradise. Only 70 of the islands are inhabited, an indication of just how unspoiled Croatia is.
A beautiful and peaceful region, which is best explored by sea. Therefore, often described as the best cruising area in the World. The larger central Dalmatian islands of Hvar, Brac, Mljet and Korcula are probably the most visited, all of them offering a great mix of secluded bays and anchorages, as well as beautiful Roman villages. Home to the great Dalmatian cuisine and the country s high quality wine making, oils and herbs. All senses inspired, and lots of memories to take home. Less visited but equally attractive is the Kornati Archipelago, only a day s sailing to the north. Totally unspoiled and clean with only a few seasonal inhabitants. A nature wonderland expressing nothing but peace and beauty. A must for anyone seeking a bit of escapism.

MY COCO MY CoCo was designed by Ted Hood, and built at his Little Harbor Yachts in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, USA (now Hinckley Yachts). She is a custom 60 feet motor yacht, built and equipped to the highest standards. Her classic beauty and quality turns heads everywhere she goes. A truly remarkable and unique yacht, delivering pride and joy to everyone onboard. MY CoCo sleeps 6 guests in 3 comfortable double cabins, each with their own bathroom. Two of the cabins can accommodate a 3rd family member, when needed. The crew have their own accommodation on the lower deck. MY CoCo has spacious areas for relaxing and socializing both inside and out. The aft cockpit with dining area is well protected by high coamings and a bimini, and thanks to a clever and unusual positioning of the main engine exhaust outlets, the cockpit offers fresh air, even when underway. The flybridge has a comfortable and large sofa for guests to enjoy the views and to follow the navigation. The foredeck is huge, and offers several good spots for sun bathing and lounging.

He has been inducted to both the Americas Cup Hall of Fame and the U.S. Sailing Hall of Fame. He started his career as a sailmaker and founded Hood Sails, which under his leadership grew to one of the leading sailmakers in the word. His sails were used on all winning boats in the Americas Cup, from 1958 to 1977, including on his own Courageous, which he skippered to victory in 1974. Early in the 1980s, Hood sold the sailmaking businesses and focused his attention on designing and building sailing and motor yachts, under the Little Harbor name. Approximately 1,500 yachts of Hood s design still sail the seas.
