The Leeward Islands form the northern arc of the Lesser Antilles, a chain of islands stretching from Anguilla and St Martin in the north through St Barts, St Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, Barbuda and Guadeloupe before meeting the Windward Islands. At the 100,000 euro per week level, a strong group of crewed motor yachts opens this entire chain to private charter, from the coral flats off Anguilla to the volcanic peaks of Guadeloupe in a single week.
Expect yachts in the 40 to 46 metre range at this price point, carrying ten to twelve guests in four or five cabins with a crew of five or six. These are capable passage-making vessels with the range and stability to cover the 200-nautical-mile distance from St Martin to Guadeloupe within the seven-night window, stopping at multiple islands along the route.
The Leeward Islands appeal lies in this variety: the low sandy flats of Anguilla contrast with the volcanic drama of Nevis and the French colonial elegance of St Barts. Antigua brings sailing history and English Harbour, while Barbuda provides one of the Caribbean most remote-feeling anchorages in the pink sand lagoon off Codrington.
The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent, around 30,000 euros, covering fuel for the island circuit, provisioning through the well-stocked marinas at Gustavia and Falmouth Harbour, and marina fees across the chain.
