Admiral is an Italian shipyard based in La Spezia, producing all-aluminium motor yachts between 40 and 90 metres as part of the Azimut-Benetti group. The yard’s output is characterised by clean Italian exterior lines, spacious social decks and interiors that reflect Italian design sensibility in a format suited to Caribbean charter. Charter yachts from Admiral available in the British Virgin Islands number around three, each configured for parties of ten to twelve guests with professional crew suited to week-long island cruising. The BVI’s 60 islands and cays provide an itinerary that changes entirely depending on weather, pace and the group’s preference, and an Admiral yacht’s range and stability make all options straightforward. Weekly charter rates for an Admiral in the British Virgin Islands start near 100,000 euros in low Caribbean season and rise to 320,000 euros for larger examples during peak December to April weeks. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel, food, BVI harbour fees and onboard costs. From a BVI base the itinerary choices are extensive: the calm anchorages of Virgin Gorda’s North Sound, trade wind sailing between the islands, the caves at Norman Island, the beach bars of Jost Van Dyke and the lobster dinners of Anegada are all within reach. Provisioning is straightforward from Road Town on Tortola, which serves as the territory’s commercial hub and offers reliable fuel, supplies and technical support for visiting charter yachts.
