Oceanco, based in Alblasserdam, Netherlands, builds fully custom superyachts above 80 metres, working with a range of naval architects and exterior designers to produce vessels that consistently receive critical recognition. The yard has delivered a number of the most talked-about superyachts of the past decade, with designs from studios including Nuvolari Lenard and Featherstone Design among others.
Guadeloupe is one of the few Caribbean island groups capable of hosting Oceanco yachts at their largest. The deep-water anchorages along the Basse-Terre coast and the approach channels to Pointe-a-Pitre can accommodate vessels above 100 metres, and the island setting of volcanic peaks and tropical forest provides a dramatic visual context for designs of this scale.
Oceanco charter yachts operating in the Guadeloupe area are among the most expensive in the world charter market, typically from 250,000 to over 1,000,000 euros per week depending on the individual vessel. The advance provisioning allowance, covering fuel, food, berthing and crew gratuities, adds approximately 30 percent. Charters of this scale require detailed logistical planning arranged well in advance.
From Guadeloupe, an Oceanco charter can range freely across the Leeward Islands, with the range and stability of the hull making longer passages to the British Virgin Islands or even Bermuda feasible within an extended itinerary.
