Gulf Craft produces motor yachts in the Middle East and Asia Pacific, valued for their reliability, practical layouts, and accessible pricing. In Barbuda, where the almost total absence of tourist infrastructure means that arriving by charter yacht is one of the most rewarding ways to experience the island, Gulf Craft yachts provide a well-found, comfortable platform for a week of genuine Caribbean seclusion. Three Gulf Craft yachts are available in this cruising ground, each suited to parties of up to eight guests and crewed by two or three professionals familiar with the island’s anchorages and the prevailing conditions on the 40-nautical-mile crossing from Antigua. Barbuda’s Pink Sand Beach stretches for 11 miles along the western shore, almost entirely deserted even in high season, while Codrington Lagoon to the north supports the Western Hemisphere’s largest colony of magnificent frigate birds. For a Gulf Craft charter, these destinations provide some of the Caribbean’s best value in terms of natural beauty per nautical mile. Weekly rates typically run from 30,000 to 70,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, food, berthing, and drinks. Caribbean season runs December to April.
