Turquoise Yachts, the Istanbul yard that built its reputation on meticulous woodwork and a finish standard that competes with Northern European builders, produces motor yachts between 30 and 80 metres to bespoke specifications. The yard’s hull construction uses steel and aluminium, with interiors that typically make extensive use of hand-finished joinery in walnut, teak, and American cherry. Chartering a Turquoise in Saint Kitts and Nevis combines a vessel known for quality and rarity with a destination that offers historical depth and Caribbean natural beauty in equal measure.
Saint Kitts and Nevis together form a manageable two-island itinerary with distinctive characters on each. Saint Kitts presents a volcanic interior rising to Mount Liamuiga, the UNESCO-listed Brimstone Hill Fortress with its panoramic views, and the Caribbean-facing anchorages of Frigate Bay and White House Bay to the south. Nevis, accessible through The Narrows, is quieter, with Pinneys Beach, the plantation hotel circuit, and the Nevis Peak cone visible from the anchorage. Turquoise charter rates in the Caribbean run from 65,000 to 200,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance adds about 30 percent.
Port Zante in Basseterre provides fuel, provisioning, and marina berths. Frigate Bay is the preferred overnight anchorage on Saint Kitts. The crossing to Nevis is short, opening access to Charlestown and Oualie Beach.
