Amels is a Dutch shipyard in Vlissingen that pioneered the semi-custom superyacht market with its Limited Editions platform, allowing owners to build larger yachts on shorter schedules without sacrificing individual specification. The eleven Amels yachts available for charter in the Tobago Cays region make this one of the most represented yards in the Grenadines fleet, offering a consistent standard of quality across a range of vessel sizes.
The charter fleet spans models from the LE180 to the LE242, corresponding to roughly 55 to 74 metres. Each hull is built in steel with aluminium superstructure at the Vlissingen yard, then fitted out to individual owner specification. Common features across the range include beach clubs at main-deck level, stabilisers at anchor and underway, and outdoor entertaining spaces on multiple levels. Guest cabins typically run to six or seven, with full-height ceilings and natural-light-filled bathrooms.
Weekly charter rates for Amels yachts in the Caribbean range from approximately 100,000 to 320,000 euros. The APA of around 30 percent covers fuel, provisions and wine, berthing at Union Island and any excursion costs. December through April is peak season, and Amels yachts in the Grenadines book out well in advance.
Tobago Cays National Park is a straightforward passage from Union Island’s Clifton Harbour. Amels charters typically anchor in the lagoon between Baradal Island and Petit Rameau on arrival, making full use of the beach club to explore Horseshoe Reef. Petit Bateau, Jamesby and Petit Tabac complete the park circuit, and day passages to Mayreau, Palm Island and Mustique extend the week.
