guadeloupe-800000e Yachts for Charter

At 800,000 euros per week, the number of available charter vessels in the world counts in single digits. These are the most significant megayachts in active charter operation: 120 to 140 metre vessels whose names appear in the annual lists of the world largest privately owned yachts and whose charter calendars are managed years in advance by a small number of specialist brokers with exclusive relationships. Chartering one of these vessels in Guadeloupe represents a genuine rarity. Most vessels of 120 metres or more spend the Caribbean season in the established hubs of St Barts and the Grenadines. When they do venture to Guadeloupe, the local anchorages and waters take on a completely different character seen from the foredeck of a 130 metre yacht. The level of onboard resource at this price is extraordinary. A crew of thirty or more. A helicopter as a standard piece of navigation equipment rather than an optional extra. A submersible for underwater exploration. A medical suite with a doctor on board for extended passages. A wine programme drawing from a cellar of 800 bottles. A chef who has held or trained at Michelin-starred level. Guadeloupe itinerary at this scale focuses on the outer anchorages: the deep clear water of the outer Saintes channel, the open roadstead off Pointe-a-Pitre and the possibility of crossing to Dominica, Martinique and Barbados within a single extended week. The APA runs to 230,000 euros or above.
