Lurssen is a German shipyard with roots going back to 1875, and today one of the few yards capable of building the largest and most complex superyachts afloat. A Lurssen charter represents the very top of the market, where every system is engineered to naval standards and every interior is a bespoke commission with no ceiling on ambition or cost. The charter fleet of Lurssen yachts in the US Virgin Islands numbers 4 vessels, each professionally crewed and maintained to a high standard for Caribbean season. Charter weeks run Saturday to Saturday from Christiansted, with itineraries tailored to guest preferences and the weather patterns that shape each day. Morning anchorages at Buck Island or Salt River Bay give way to afternoon passages along the Saint Croix coastline, with evenings at settled moorings and dinner on deck. Base rates start from 430,000 euros per week, with an advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covering fuel, food, drinks, and berthing. High season runs December through April, and the most sought-after Lurssen yachts are reserved well in advance. Saint Croix is the largest of the US Virgin Islands, set 40 miles south of Saint Thomas and offering a quieter pace than the busier charter hubs. Christiansted on the north coast and Frederiksted on the west provide provisioning, history, and dining, while Buck Island and the offshore reef systems are among the finest snorkelling grounds in the entire Caribbean.
