Lürssen builds superyachts above 60 metres from its Bremen yard, each a fully bespoke commission requiring years of engineering and construction. The yard counts some of the world’s most celebrated vessels in its portfolio, and in Barbuda, four Lürssen superyachts are available for charter, each operating at the very top of the Caribbean market. Barbuda’s combination of extraordinary natural beauty and almost total absence of tourist infrastructure makes it an ideal destination for a Lürssen charter: the scale of the vessel and the scale of the seclusion are well matched. The Pink Sand Beach, 11 miles of fine, lightly pink-tinged sand along the western shore, is accessible by the superyacht’s tender and watertoys, while Codrington Lagoon, a few nautical miles north, provides one of the region’s great wildlife spectacles. Weekly base rates run from approximately 150,000 to 350,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent for fuel, provisions, berthing, and drinks. A Lürssen at this scale has a significant fuel consumption; most guests cruise to Barbuda at a comfortable pace and spend the majority of the week at anchor. These yachts book a year or more in advance for Caribbean high season; early engagement with a specialist charter broker is essential.
