Feadship, the Dutch joint-venture between De Voogt Naval Architects and the Holland Jachtbouw yards at Aalsmeer and Makkum, is regarded by many as the world finest builder of custom superyachts. Twenty are available for charter in the Sint Eustatius region of the Leeward Islands, representing a fleet breadth unmatched by any comparable builder in Caribbean waters.
Every Feadship is an individual commission designed in-house and built to a standard that the yard has maintained across more than seven decades and 900 hulls. The result is a fleet of charter yachts with strong individual characters, from earlier hulls with traditional interior styling to recent deliveries featuring contemporary Scandinavian-influenced design. What they share is structural integrity, engineering precision and a finish quality that holds up under the closest scrutiny.
The twenty Feadship charter yachts in the Sint Eustatius region range from around forty-five to over ninety metres and accommodate eight to eighteen guests in four to nine staterooms. Weekly charter rates reflect the breadth of the fleet, ranging from approximately 150,000 euros for smaller models to well over 600,000 euros for the largest and most recent builds. Advance provisioning allowances of thirty to thirty-five percent apply. The Leeward Islands season runs November through April.
From Sint Eustatius, the Feadship fleet covers the northern Leewards with ease, combining the quiet depth of the island itself with the more sociable destinations of Sint Maarten, St Barts and the Anguillian coastline.
