The 450,000 euro per week tier in the Leeward Islands is occupied by a very small group of 90 to 100 metre megayachts whose scale, crew depth and programme ambition define what the Caribbean charter season can look like at its absolute best. Chartering a vessel at this level across the Leeward Islands chain is a rare combination: the world finest private yachts in one of the finest island chains in the Caribbean.
A crew of twenty manages every aspect of the programme from the pre-departure provisioning briefing through to the final anchorage. The helicopter opens up interior landscapes across the chain: Guadeloupe La Soufriere, Montserrat volcanic zone, the interior of Nevis peak. The submersible, where carried, takes guests down to the reef systems at depths beyond scuba range off Antigua and Guadeloupe.
The island chain itself provides a week of constantly changing scenery and atmosphere. St Barts delivers the French Riviera in the Caribbean, with boutique dining at waterfront restaurants and the morning ritual of the Gustavia boat parade. Barbuda delivers the opposite: remote, low and wild, with flamingo colonies at Codrington lagoon that reward the early morning tender run. Guadeloupe delivers volcanic drama and French Caribbean cuisine that rounds off the week on a high note.
The advance provisioning allowance runs to 130,000 to 145,000 euros for a full Leeward Islands circuit, accounting for helicopter operations, fuel, premium provisioning and the full onboard programme.
