Alloy Yachts from Auckland, New Zealand produced high-performance aluminium sailing yachts to a standard that the new-construction market has not matched since the yard closed, and three Alloy vessels charter in the British Virgin Islands with Jost Van Dyke a natural destination on the BVI sailing circuit. The performance sailing pedigree of Alloy yachts, built with input from Bruce Farr, Frers and other leading naval architects, makes the BVI trade wind circuit their natural environment: consistent 15 to 20 knot north-easters from November through April, protected inter-island passages, and an archipelago where every anchorage rewards a vessel that arrives under sail. Jost Van Dyke, with White Bay and Great Harbour, is a standard closing destination on any BVI sailing itinerary. Three Alloy yachts operate in Virgin Islands waters, typically 35 to 50 metres, crewed by sailing professionals who know the trade wind passages in detail. Weekly rates run from approximately 80,000 to 180,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance at 30 percent.
