Amels builds motor yachts between 55 to 77 metres at its yard in Makkum, the Netherlands. The builder is recognised for Dutch-built Limited Editions and full-custom motor yachts engineered to the highest standards with long ocean passages in mind. Each vessel reaches charter service after rigorous build and commissioning, and Amels yachts hold a strong reputation across the international charter fleet.
There are currently 11 Amels yachts available for charter in the British and US Virgin Islands. These cover several size classes and typically accommodate eight to twelve guests in four to six cabins. A professional crew of six to nine handles provisioning, navigation and watersports, which usually include jet skis, paddleboards, a tender and complete snorkelling equipment.
Weekly charter rates for Amels yachts in Virgin Islands run from around 200,000 euros to 800,000 euros for larger and more recent examples. The advance provisioning allowance, approximately 30 to 35 percent of the base rate, covers fuel, food, beverages and marina fees. December to April is peak season in this region; Christmas and New Year weeks fill many months in advance.
Virgin Islands provides an ideal setting for a Amels charter. Itineraries typically start from Tortola or St Thomas and take in The Baths, Norman Island, Cooper Island, Jost Van Dyke, Anegada reef and the Bitter End Yacht Club, mixing snorkelling stops with sheltered evening anchorages and lively beachside restaurants. A charter broker will identify the right vessel and itinerary for your group and confirm availability for your dates.
