History[edit]
In 1992 Va Bene was designed by Richard Hein and built by Kees Cornelissen for a Greek in the Netherlands. In 1997 he sold the yacht to Bernie Ecclestone. Ecclestone was looking for a buyer in 2002. Clapton, who had been looking for a new yacht, contacted Ecclestone in 2005 and purchased the ship for £9 million pounds. Clapton had the yacht refitted from 2007 to 2008.[3]
The yacht can be chartered the whole year round.[4]
