Explorer yacht charter in Anguilla suits guests who want to combine the Caribbean atmosphere of the Leeward Islands with the capability of a vessel built for extended range and challenging anchorages. Anguilla position at the northern edge of the Leeward chain means that an explorer yacht based here has immediate access to the open Atlantic to the north and the wider Caribbean to the south and east, giving itinerary options that a standard charter yacht cannot safely take. Dog Island and the outer reefs are within easy reach, as is the wider arc from St Maarten to Barbuda.
The explorer fleet available for Anguilla charters numbers around 15 purpose-built expedition yachts. These vessels carry greater fuel and water capacity than standard charter yachts, heavy-duty anchoring systems suited to open roadsteads, and equipment garages sized for multiple tenders, dive gear and water sports kit. Crew are typically certified dive instructors or open ocean yachtmaster-qualified sailors, able to guide guests safely through exposed passages and less-visited anchorages.
Weekly rates for explorer yachts in Anguilla begin at approximately 70,000 euros and reach above 300,000 euros for the largest superyacht-specification exploration vessels. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, provisions, drinks and fees.
The most ambitious explorer itinerary from Anguilla heads north to Barbuda, 30 miles across open water, where a lagoon full of frigate birds and a beach of pink sand await alongside some of the least-visited diving in the Lesser Antilles.
