VSY, Viareggio Superyachts, produces a small number of steel and aluminium motor yachts each year from its Tuscany yard, with a focus on large semi-displacement hulls that balance range with livability. Three are available for charter from Saint Martin in the Leeward Islands, in the forty-five to sixty-metre range, offering the kind of understated Italian quality that characterises the northern Tuscan yacht-building tradition.
VSY builds for owners who want a capable and handsome passage maker rather than a statement piece, and in the Caribbean that translates to a yacht that covers ground efficiently, keeps guests comfortable at sea and opens its outdoor spaces fully in port. Main deck terraces, beach clubs and tender garages are well proportioned, and interior joinery reflects the craft traditions of the Viareggio yards.
Three VSY charter yachts operate in the Leeward Islands, accommodating eight to twelve guests in four to six staterooms. Weekly charter rates are negotiated individually and typically run from 150,000 to 250,000 euros per week, with advance provisioning allowances of thirty percent covering fuel, food, berthing and drinks. The Leeward Islands season runs from November through April.
Saint Martin is well suited to VSY yachts. The lagoon anchorage handles vessels of their draught comfortably, the passages to Anguilla and St Barts suit their cruising speeds, and the dual-nationality character of the island rewards the kind of unhurried exploration these yachts encourage.
