Amels, part of the Damen Shipyards Group in the Netherlands, has built one of the most trusted names in superyacht construction through a combination of engineering rigour and the Limited Editions semi-custom programme, which allows owners to specify a well-tested hull platform while customising every interior detail. Eleven Amels yachts are available for charter across the Greater Antilles, spanning the 55 to 80 metre range, offering one of the deepest and most varied selections in the region.nnThe breadth of the Amels fleet in the Greater Antilles is a genuine advantage for charter guests. Whether the priority is a 55 metre Limited Editions 180 with a beach club and pool, or a bespoke 80 metre vessel built for a specific cruising programme, Amels can typically provide a yacht that matches the brief. Interior quality is consistently high, with partnerships between Amels’s in-house design team and leading independent studios.nnWeekly rates for Amels charters in the Greater Antilles range from approximately 130,000 euros for a 55 metre Limited Editions example to 400,000 euros and above for the flagship 80 metre commissions. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 to 35 percent. The November to April Greater Antilles season aligns with peak superyacht charter demand from both European and North American guests.nnPuerto Rico’s west coast and the Spanish Virgin Islands provide sheltered sailing and superb reef diving within a day’s transit of San Juan. The Dominican Republic’s Samaná Bay, Jamaica’s Port Antonio, and the anchorages of Cuba’s north coast all represent viable stops on a multi-island Amels itinerary.
