Oceanco, the Dutch custom yacht builder based in Alblasserdam, produces some of the most architecturally ambitious and individually specified superyachts in the world. In St Lucia, an Oceanco charter delivers the exceptional scale and design innovation of these extraordinary vessels to the dramatic scenery of one of the Caribbean most extraordinary island destinations: the Pitons of Soufriere, the enclosed beauty of Marigot Bay and the calm of Rodney Bay.
Each Oceanco is an individual commission, built to the brief of the owner with the most respected naval architects and interior designers in the world. The yard works above 60 metres in aluminium and composite, producing vessels that often redefine what is considered possible at a given length. The resulting charter fleet is among the most impressive in the world, representing a standard of individual specification that few other yards consistently deliver.
Weekly charter rates for an Oceanco in St Lucia run from approximately 300,000 to 800,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, Rodney Bay Marina berth fees, provisions from the island and crew gratuities. Peak Caribbean season runs from December through April.
St Lucia is one of the few Caribbean destinations that provides a worthy setting for an Oceanco charter. The Pitons anchorage at Soufriere is one of the most dramatic on earth, and an Oceanco at anchor beneath Gros Piton and Petit Piton is a sight that does justice to both the yacht and the island.
