Admiral Yachts, the Italian yard formerly known as CNL and now part of The Italian Sea Group, produces motor yachts in the 40 to 70 metre range with a strong emphasis on volume, Italian style, and a build quality that supports extended offshore passages. Three Admiral yachts are available for charter across the Greater Antilles, offering guests who appreciate the Italian design tradition a genuinely capable vessel for exploring Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.nnAdmiral’s build programme concentrates on the full-displacement and semi-displacement motor yacht, producing hulls designed to cover distance efficiently rather than at maximum speed. In the Greater Antilles context, this translates into a yacht that can reach Puerto Rico from the Dominican Republic, or make the Jamaica crossing from Hispaniola, without the fuel consumption penalty that a planing hull incurs at open-ocean speeds.nnWeekly rates for Admiral charters in the Greater Antilles range from approximately 60,000 to 180,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, provisioning, an Italian crew of 6 to 14, and berthing across the island chain. The November to April Greater Antilles season is when Admiral’s Caribbean fleet is most active.nnFrom the historic fortifications of Old San Juan in Puerto Rico to Jamaica’s Blue Mountains visible from Port Antonio anchorage, and from the whale sanctuary of Samaná Bay on the Dominican Republic coast to the protected waters of Culebra and Vieques in the Spanish Virgin Islands, an Admiral yacht has the range and comfort to make a multi-island Greater Antilles itinerary feel effortless.
