VSY, the Venetian superyacht yard producing large custom motor yachts in the 40 to 70 metre range, commissions each hull individually to an owner’s specification. The output is limited in number but high in both value and craftsmanship, reflecting the yard’s tradition of Venetian joinery and the engineering standards of Italian commercial shipbuilding applied to private commissions. Chartering a VSY in Saint Kitts and Nevis matches the rarity of the vessel with a destination less visited than the primary Caribbean circuits yet richer in historical and natural content.
Saint Kitts and Nevis offer a two-island itinerary that covers the volcanic landscape of Mount Liamuiga, the UNESCO-listed Brimstone Hill Fortress, the sugar-plantation ruins along the Saint Kitts interior circuit, and the plantation great house hotels of Nevis accessible via The Narrows crossing. The two islands are small enough to explore thoroughly in a week. VSY charter rates in the Caribbean typically start at 120,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent.
Port Zante marina in Basseterre handles fuel, provisioning, and berths for yachts of significant size. Frigate Bay on the Caribbean coast offers the most sheltered overnight anchorage on Saint Kitts. Charlestown on Nevis, through The Narrows, provides customs clearance and access to the plantation hotel circuit and Hamilton’s birthplace in the town.
