At 300,000 euros per week, the Leeward Islands welcomes a fleet of 65 to 80 metre superyachts that bring helicopter deck areas, full beach clubs, stabilised hulls and crews of fourteen to eighteen whose experience covers some of the most demanding charter circuits in the world. The Leeward Islands arc from Anguilla to Guadeloupe is a natural match for a vessel of this scale: the passages are manageable, the anchorages are diverse and the island chain offers something new every 24 hours.
At this price point, the yacht carries an inventory of watersports equipment that would satisfy the most active charter party: multiple jet skis, a foiling tender, seabobs, a dive compressor and a full set of gear for the diving sessions off Antigua and Guadeloupe. The dive programme is led by a dedicated instructor who knows the reef systems of the Leeward Islands well: the wall at Cades Reef off Antigua, the drop off at Nevis and the Pigeon Island Marine Reserve in Guadeloupe.
The chef works from a galley supplied by the best local fish markets and supplemented by provisions arriving through the established import routes through Gustavia and St Martin. The provisioning quality at this level rivals the best Caribbean restaurants ashore.
The advance provisioning allowance runs to approximately 90,000 euros for a full seven-night circuit, covering fuel for the 400-plus-mile island arc, provisioning, marina fees and all onboard activities.
