Charter yachts in Antigua and Barbuda from 1,000,000 euros per week are the most exceptional private vessels afloat, covering the 120 metre class and above with crews of forty-five or more based from English Harbour in Antigua during the Caribbean winter season. Two yachts at this level offer a programme defined entirely around the guests.
At 1,000,000 euros per week, the superyacht operates with a level of resource and staffing that makes the vessel itself the primary experience rather than any particular anchorage or destination. Three swimming pools, two beach clubs, dual helicopter decks, a submarine tender, a full spa and medical facility, an onboard restaurant run by a Michelin-standard chef and a guest-to-crew ratio approaching one-to-one define the complement at this level.
The 1,000,000 euro weekly rate covers crew, insurance and standard equipment. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent, approximately 300,000 euros, covers fuel for Caribbean operations including submarine deployment, helicopter operations, provisioning at the highest global standard, port dues and all running costs. Total weekly expenditure for a fully active Antigua programme at this level reaches 1,250,000 to 1,400,000 euros.
Antigua is one of the few Caribbean bases capable of accommodating superyachts of this size operationally. The programme typically centres on Barbuda for its beaches and lagoon, with the submarine deployed to the coral reef systems around Nonsuch Bay and the helicopter used for transfers to Montserrat, Nevis and Guadeloupe. The itinerary is planned and replanned daily around the pace and preferences of the guests.
