Turquoise Yachts, the Istanbul shipyard that has built its international reputation through a series of technically ambitious superyacht commissions, has established a growing presence in the Caribbean charter market. Four Turquoise yachts are available for charter across the Greater Antilles, typically in the 45 to 65 metre range, each a bespoke commission that reflects the yard’s increasing sophistication in both engineering and interior design partnerships.nnTurquoise’s approach to hull design encompasses displacement, semi-displacement, and fast-displacement types, giving each commission the performance profile that best suits its intended use. In the Greater Antilles, this translates into yachts capable of making the open-water crossings between Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and Jamaica efficiently while providing a stable and comfortable living environment throughout.nnWeekly rates for Turquoise charters in the Greater Antilles range from approximately 80,000 to 210,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent and covers a professional crew of 10 to 18, fuel, gourmet provisioning, and port fees across the island chain. November to April Caribbean season sees these yachts at their most active, with demand from both European and North American guests.nnPuerto Rico’s marina infrastructure, the Dominican Republic’s Casa de Campo in La Romana, and Jamaica’s Montego Bay provide the principal berthing options. Culebra’s reef system, Samaná Bay, and Jamaica’s Blue Lagoon at Port Antonio are the headline anchorages on a Turquoise Greater Antilles circuit.
