VSY, the Viareggio-based builder, produces a small and precisely crafted fleet of custom motor yachts that carry the quality standards of the finest Italian yards at a scale that keeps commissioning manageable. In St Barts, a VSY charter brings the kind of understated Italian craftsmanship that the island rewards: a yacht that makes an impression at anchor in Gustavia roads not through size alone but through the clarity of its design and the quality of its finish.
VSY yachts in the charter fleet run from around 45 to 65 metres, each reflecting the individual brief of the commissioning owner. Interiors draw on the same craftsmen and suppliers that serve the finest Italian custom yards, producing spaces of genuine quality. Deck layouts are generous for the overall length, with beach clubs, aft terraces and foredeck areas that maximise outdoor living in Caribbean conditions.
Weekly charter rates for a VSY in St Barts run from approximately 150,000 to 300,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, Gustavia anchorage, provisions from the French-quality suppliers on the island and crew gratuities. Peak Caribbean season runs from December through April, with New Year attracting the highest premiums.
St Barts suits a VSY charter well. The island combines French provisioning quality with a social scene that appreciates fine yachts, and the VSY approach to bespoke build quality fits the brief of the island precisely.
