Amels, the Dutch builder based in Vlissingen, has become one of the most respected names in the semi-custom superyacht market through its Limited Editions range and the consistently high build quality of its production. In St Lucia, an Amels charter brings Dutch engineering to one of the Caribbean most extraordinary island environments: volcanic peaks, lush tropical forest, a UNESCO-listed landscape and the warm-water anchorages that define the leeward coast.
Amels yachts in charter typically run from around 55 to 80 metres, with the Limited Editions series providing a range of exterior hull profiles and interior layout options. The construction is steel hull and aluminium superstructure, giving a structural quality that makes Amels one of the most reliable choices in the large motor yacht charter fleet. Interior design is handled by the Studio Mooiboei, producing interiors of consistent quality across the range.
Weekly charter rates for an Amels in St Lucia run from approximately 200,000 to 500,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, Rodney Bay Marina or anchorage fees, provisions from the island and crew gratuities. Peak Caribbean season runs from December through April.
St Lucia provides an ideal base for an Amels charter. The island combines the sheltered waters of Rodney Bay with the extraordinary scenery of the Pitons and the cultural richness of Castries, Soufriere and Marigot Bay.
