At the 125,000 euro per week level across the Leeward Islands chain, a well-stocked fleet of crewed motor yachts in the 43 to 50 metre range makes the full arc from Anguilla to Guadeloupe available to charter parties of ten to twelve guests. These are passage-capable vessels with the stability and range to cover 300 nautical miles within a seven-night window while stopping at four or five islands along the route.
The Leeward Islands chain at this price point is a strong match: the distances between islands suit a 45 metre yacht at ten to twelve knots, the anchorages at Gustavia, English Harbour, Nevis and Guadeloupe accommodate the draft and scale comfortably, and the provisioning infrastructure at the key marinas meets the standard a yacht at this level demands.
Expect five cabin yachts with a crew of five or six: a captain who knows the Leeward Islands routing well, a chef building menus from local market produce supplemented by the well-stocked chandlery at Gustavia, and a deck crew covering the watersports and tender programme. The tender inventory typically includes a RIB for beach excursions, paddleboards and snorkelling equipment.
The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent, around 37,500 euros, covering fuel for a full island circuit, marina fees at the main stops and provisioning. Booking four to six months ahead covers the peak December to March window at this level.
