At 150,000 euros per week with Montserrat as part of the itinerary, the Leeward Islands circuit takes on a depth and diversity that a more conventional island-hopping programme cannot achieve. The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean brings its unique volcanic landscape, its healthy and underdived reef systems, and its complete absence of mass tourism to a week that is otherwise defined by the quality and comfort of a well-equipped 46 to 52 metre crewed motor yacht.
Anchoring off Little Bay, the tender serves the shore programme: the Montserrat Volcano Observatory for a briefing on the current volcanic activity, the viewpoint toward the buried Plymouth ghost town, the northern coast walking trails through the lush tropical vegetation that gives the island its name. The underwater programme off Montserrat covers the volcanic ash flow terrain and the healthy reefs to the north of the island, both of which offer unusual and rewarding dive experiences.
The Leeward Islands circuit at this level extends through the established anchorages at St Barts Gustavia, Nevis Pinney Beach, Antigua English Harbour and Barbuda Codrington lagoon. A crew of six manages the passage programme, the tender excursions, the onboard cooking and the watersports inventory throughout the seven nights.
The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 45,000 euros, covering fuel for the full circuit, provisioning and marina fees. Booking four to six months ahead covers the peak December to March window for this price level.
