Alloy Yachts built aluminium sailing superyachts of exceptional quality at its Henderson yard near Auckland, New Zealand, before ceasing production. The yard’s legacy fleet, now sailing across the world’s oceans, represents some of the finest sailing superyachts ever constructed: strong, fast, and built to offshore standards that allow them to operate in any condition the ocean provides. In Barbuda, three Alloy yachts are available for charter, bringing that tradition of ocean-passage excellence to one of the Caribbean’s most remote and undeveloped islands. Barbuda sits 40 nautical miles north of Antigua, home to fewer than two thousand residents, with almost no tourist infrastructure and some of the finest undeveloped beaches in the entire Caribbean. The Pink Sand Beach stretches for 11 miles along the western coast, while Codrington Lagoon to the north supports the largest colony of magnificent frigate birds in the Western Hemisphere. An Alloy sailing superyacht, with its ability to anchor in remote locations and cover ground in trade-wind conditions, is ideally suited to exploring Barbuda at this level of seclusion. Weekly charter rates run from approximately 80,000 to 150,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent for fuel, provisions, berthing, and drinks, with sailing use typically meaning a lower fuel component than comparable motor yachts.
