Admiral is an Italian shipyard based in La Spezia, part of the Azimut-Benetti group, producing all-aluminium motor yachts between 40 and 90 metres. The yard is known for clean exterior lines, spacious social decks and interiors that reflect Italian design sensibility in a format suited to long-haul cruising. Charter yachts from Admiral available in the Anegada area number around three, each configured for parties of ten to twelve guests with professional crew. Anegada’s flat coral atoll is unlike the volcanic hills of the surrounding British Virgin Islands, and the contrast is one of the reasons charter parties return to this destination. The beaches at Cow Wreck Bay and Loblolly Bay are among the least crowded in the Caribbean, and the lobster dinners at The Settlement have their own well-deserved reputation. Weekly charter rates for an Admiral yacht in the Anegada area start near 100,000 euros in low Caribbean season and rise to 320,000 euros for larger examples during peak December to April weeks. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel, food, harbour fees and onboard expenses. The BVI offers 60 islands and cays within easy reach of Anegada. Virgin Gorda’s Baths, the anchorage at White Bay on Jost Van Dyke and the caves at Norman Island are all comfortable day passages from Anegada, giving a charter party a genuinely varied week.
