Turquoise Yachts, building in Yalova on Turkey’s Sea of Marmara, has established a consistent reputation for producing large custom motor yachts with significant beam, generous interior volumes and a finish quality that compares favourably with European yards at a considerably more competitive price point. Four Turquoise-built vessels operate in Cayman Islands waters, each commissioned individually and reflecting the preferences of their respective owners in layout and interior design.
The Turquoise fleet in the Cayman Islands carries between ten and fourteen guests across a mix of cabin configurations. The yard’s preference for full-beam master suites and large salons means that guests experience a sense of space on board that belies the vessels’ stated dimensions. Crews of eight to twelve keep service standards high without the overhead of the largest superyachts.
Charter rates for Turquoise yachts in the Cayman Islands range from approximately 70,000 to 200,000 euros per week depending on size and season. The advance provisioning allowance runs to around 30 percent of the base rate, covering fuel, food, marina fees and other running costs. High season in the Cayman Islands falls between December and April, when settled trade winds and warm water temperatures draw charter guests from across Europe and North America.
From Georgetown Harbour on Grand Cayman the Turquoise fleet is within easy reach of Stingray City on the North Sound, and the crossing to Little Cayman and Cayman Brac is comfortable in the settled sea states typical of the winter months, exposing guests to Bloody Bay Marine Park and the quieter atmosphere of the Sister Islands.
