Lurssen, the Bremen yard founded in 1875, holds a near-complete account of superyachts over 80 metres and produces custom vessels of extraordinary technical sophistication. In The Exumas, the four Lurssen yachts available for charter represent the absolute pinnacle of the charter market: vessels of 60 to over 90 metres, carrying crews of 20 to 30, equipped with helicopter pads, submarine tenders, and interior designs by studios including Winch Design and Terence Disdale. The 365 cays of The Exumas offer a remarkable counterpoint to the scale and complexity of these vessels: the yacht anchors in the lee of an uninhabited cay accessible only by sea, the crew manages all logistics from the beach club, and guests experience an environment of extraordinary natural beauty from a platform of unparalleled technical achievement. Charter weeks from December through April in The Exumas are arranged through specialist brokers, with provisioning, crew planning, and route approval completed weeks in advance. Rates for Lurssen yachts in this region begin around 350,000 euros per week and can exceed 1,000,000 euros for the largest examples. The advance provisioning allowance adds a further 30 percent. Despite the scale, the experience the crew creates is one of seamless simplicity: the machine is invisible and the destination is everything.
