Charter yachts in Antigua and Barbuda from 300,000 euros per week occupy the upper bracket of the Caribbean charter market, covering vessels of 75 to 90 metres with crews of eighteen to twenty-four from the established charter base of English Harbour and Falmouth on the south coast of Antigua. Fourteen yachts at this level are available.
At 300,000 euros per week the fleet carries beach clubs capable of hosting water sport programmes for twelve guests simultaneously, onboard pools, dedicated spa suites with sauna and treatment rooms and primary tenders of eleven metres or above. The Caribbean operation at this scale involves deploying the tender fleet to the beaches of Barbuda and the reefs of Nonsuch Bay while the main vessel anchors in comfortable open water.
The 300,000 euro weekly rate covers crew, insurance and standard equipment. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent, approximately 90,000 euros, covers fuel for inter-island passages, provisions, drinks and marina dues. The December to April Caribbean season offers the most stable conditions, with February and March providing the best trade winds and clearest water visibility for diving.
From English Harbour at this level, the itinerary extends readily to Barbuda to the north, Montserrat to the northwest, and the French Dependencies of Guadeloupe and the Iles des Saintes to the south, all within a seven-day programme from a yacht of 80 metres at trade wind cruising speed.
