A Montserrat charter from 75,000 euros per week delivers a crewed yacht experience on one of the Caribbean’s most atmospheric and least-visited islands. The active Soufriere Hills volcano gives Montserrat a character entirely its own among the Leeward Islands, and because the island draws so few visitors the anchorages at Little Bay and Old Road Bay are almost invariably private. At this price point the focus is firmly on what the destination delivers.nnSix yachts in the Caribbean operate in the 75,000 euro range, covering motor and sailing vessels from 35 to 42 metres with professional crews of four to six. These are proper crewed charter yachts with comfortable cabins, well-equipped galleys and the range to cross from Antigua to Montserrat and continue through the Leeward Islands chain without returning to port mid-week.nnAt 75,000 euros per week, the base rate covers vessel hire and crew. Budget an Advance Provisioning Allowance of approximately 22,500 euros for fuel for the Antigua crossing and local passages, full provisioning, and port and clearance fees. Caribbean high season rates run from December through April; the window between Christmas and New Year commands a premium and advance booking is essential.nnMontserrat lies 43 kilometres southwest of Antigua’s English Harbour, typically a two-hour run in settled conditions. Little Bay is the island’s principal anchorage on the calm northwest coast, with good holding and easy tender access. Old Road Bay suits those wanting a closer view of the volcanic exclusion zone and the eerie remains of Plymouth visible at the southern end. Rendezvous Bay, accessible only by sea, is a tender excursion north. Most itineraries complete the loop via Charlestown in Nevis and Basseterre in St Kitts before returning to Antigua.
