Turquoise Yachts is a Turkish shipyard operating from Istanbul that has built a reputation for custom steel and aluminium superyachts combining European engineering standards with competitive pricing. The four Turquoise yachts available for charter in the Tobago Cays region demonstrate the yard’s breadth: expedition-style motor yachts, performance sailing vessels and hybrid designs, each built to the specification of its original owner.
Turquoise charter yachts in the Caribbean fleet span approximately 35 to 75 metres, with construction in steel, aluminium or a combination depending on original build specification. Interior fit-outs are carried out by the owner’s chosen designers and reflect a broad range of aesthetic approaches, from Scandinavian minimalism to Mediterranean warmth. The yard’s quality control has improved consistently over recent years, and current Turquoise builds rival European equivalents at comparable price points.
Weekly charter rates for Turquoise yachts in the Caribbean range from approximately 60,000 to 220,000 euros. The APA of around 30 percent covers fuel for inter-island passages, provisions and wine, berthing at Union Island and dockage fees. Caribbean peak season runs December through April, when consistent trade winds make conditions excellent across the Grenadines.
Tobago Cays provides an excellent setting for a Turquoise charter in the Grenadines. The yacht enters the national park through the northern channel from Union Island and anchors in the lagoon between Baradal Island and Petit Rameau. Horseshoe Reef is a short swim from the anchorage and hosts sea turtles year-round. Petit Bateau, Jamesby and Petit Tabac complete the park, and a passage north leads to Mayreau’s Salt Whistle Bay or Mustique.
