Amels, the Dutch shipyard in Vlissingen, has built motor yachts to some of the highest technical standards in the industry for over a century. Their Limited Editions series in particular has produced a fleet of charter yachts that combine steel-and-aluminium construction with interior packages designed for serious, repeated use. Chartering an Amels yacht in Curacao suits guests who want a vessel of genuine pedigree in a Caribbean destination that offers more variety than many of its neighbours. Curacao is the largest of the ABC islands and has a southern coastline with protected natural bays, clear water over undisturbed reef, and the extraordinary urban harbour of Willemstad. Amels charter yachts in The Yacht Collection fleet typically run from 55 to 85 metres, offering eight to twelve cabins and the onboard infrastructure for extended Caribbean passages without resupply. These are vessels built for blue water: high structural scantlings, high-capacity fuel and water systems, and crew quarters designed for round-the-clock professional operation. Weekly rates for Amels yachts reflect the pedigree, running from approximately 120,000 euros for the smallest Limited Editions models to over 500,000 for the largest in peak season. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent applies. Caribbean high season runs December through April. Curacao’s good fuel availability, airport connections for crew rotations, and marina facilities at Spanish Water make it a practical base for the kind of extended itinerary that Amels yachts are built for.
