Lürssen, based in Bremen, Germany, and building vessels since 1875, occupies the position of the world’s foremost builder of large custom yachts. Current projects range from approximately 60 to over 150 metres, each a multi-year commission developed in close collaboration between owner, designer and naval architect. Charter a Lürssen from St Vincent and you bring a vessel of extraordinary scale and refinement to one of the Caribbean’s finest cruising circuits.nnLürssen’s yachts are defined by volume and technical ambition. Interior layouts on 80-metre builds routinely include owner’s deck arrangements, formal dining rooms, multiple social decks, beach clubs, helipads and cinema rooms, all served by crews of twenty or more. Naval architecture prioritises blue-water range, stability and seakeeping. In the Grenadines’ calm winter conditions, those offshore capabilities are held in reserve, giving guests an experience of uncommon luxury in an accessible and beautiful environment.nnWeekly charter rates for Lürssen yachts reflect their position at the absolute top of the charter market, starting around 250,000 euros per week and exceeding 1,000,000 euros for the largest and most recent builds. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent is standard. Caribbean availability is extremely limited, with the finest Lürssen charters typically committed one to two years ahead.nnSt Vincent’s Blue Lagoon Marina accommodates large hulls and provides the provisioning infrastructure these vessels require. From there, the Grenadines chain offers an itinerary entirely commensurate with the scale and ambition of a Lürssen charter.
