Feadship, the cooperative of Dutch yards building under the Holland Shipyard Group and De Voogt Naval Architects design office, holds a reputation in the superyacht industry that is essentially without equal. The yard builds entirely to bespoke commission in steel and aluminium, and the waiting lists and price levels reflect a quality of engineering and finish that few other builders have approached. Charter guests choosing a Feadship in Saint Kitts and Nevis are booking both a vessel and a destination that together represent the best of what a private yacht experience can be.
Saint Kitts and Nevis cover a combined land area of just over 260 square kilometres, making them among the more compact two-island destinations in the Leeward Islands. Saint Kitts holds Brimstone Hill Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the volcanic summit of Mount Liamuiga with hiking to the crater rim. Nevis, connected by a regular ferry and accessible by tender from the two-mile Narrows channel, is quieter and known for the plantation hotel circuit that winds through the hills above Pinneys Beach. Feadship charter rates in the Caribbean start well above 200,000 euros per week and can reach considerably higher. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent.
Port Zante in Basseterre provides the practical base: fuel at the main pier, marina berths for large yachts, and provisioning options in the capital. Frigate Bay on the Caribbean coast is the most comfortable overnight anchorage. The short Narrows crossing to Nevis gives access to Charlestown harbour and the plantation hotel belt above.
