Turquoise Yachts, the Turkish yard based in Antalya that has earned international recognition for its large custom builds, brings four charter yachts to the Sint Eustatius region of the Caribbean Leeward Islands. Each Turquoise commission is an individual brief executed with a build quality that competes with the most established European yards, and the four available in the Sint Eustatius region represent vessels with distinctly different characters.
Sint Eustatius suits Turquoise yachts well. The yard typically builds yachts with long-range capability, explorer aesthetics and large beach clubs suited to destinations where the natural environment is the primary attraction rather than marina nightlife. Sint Eustatius offers exactly that: good diving at Jenkins Bay, hiking to the Quill crater, a genuinely quiet anchorage and proximity to Saba, one of the Caribbean most dramatic dive destinations.
Four Turquoise charter yachts operate in the Sint Eustatius region, ranging from around forty to over sixty metres and accommodating eight to fourteen guests. Weekly charter rates vary by vessel and are negotiated individually, typically running from 150,000 to over 300,000 euros, with advance provisioning allowances of thirty percent. The Leeward Islands season runs November through April.
From Sint Eustatius, Turquoise charters cover Saba, St Kitts, Nevis and Sint Maarten within a comfortable week, with the combination of range and beach club amenity making the transition from one island to the next straightforward and enjoyable.
