Chartering a Amels yacht in Martinique combines the yard’s engineering reputation with the French Antilles’ most varied sailing destination. Amels is the Dutch yard behind the Limited Editions series, producing semi-custom motor yachts that combine Damen shipbuilding engineering with flexible interior specification. The Martinique fleet includes 11 Amels vessels available for private charter, each crewed to MYBA or AYCA standards with a team of four to ten. The island serves as a natural base for weekly itineraries through the Windward Islands, with neighbouring destinations accessible in a day’s sail.
A Amels charter yacht brings the yard’s design philosophy to the tropics: considered deck layouts, well-proportioned interior spaces and a crew focused on the guest programme from arrival. Water toys, tenders and paddleboards are standard, and the chef sources local produce through Martinique’s markets in Le Marin and Fort-de-France and regional markets.
Weekly charter rates for Amels yachts in Martinique range from approximately 95,000 euros to over 260,000 euros depending on the vessel’s length, age and specification. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent on top of the base rate, covering fuel, food, harbour dues, berthing, drinks and crew gratuity. Unused APA is returned at the end of the charter. High season in the Caribbean Windwards runs from mid-December through April.
Martinique receives direct flights via Paris CDG, London Gatwick or Barbados. Charter managers handle all logistics, provisioning and itinerary planning in advance of embarkation, and the marina is within a short transfer of the airport.
