VSY, or Viareggio Superyachts, operates from Italy’s historic yachting coast and builds motor yachts at the larger end of the market, with an emphasis on structural innovation and interior flexibility that allows each commission to be genuinely personalised. Three VSY yachts are available for charter in the Cayman Islands through The Yacht Collection, each reflecting different owner priorities in terms of layout, performance and finish.
VSY yachts tend toward full-displacement hulls with the range and seakeeping to cross open water comfortably, a quality that suits the Cayman Islands geography well. The three islands are spread over 100 miles of open Caribbean, and the ability to make inter-island passages in security and comfort matters here more than it does in more sheltered cruising grounds. Crews of ten to fourteen manage vessels that accommodate between ten and twelve guests.
Charter rates for VSY yachts in the Cayman Islands range from approximately 80,000 to 200,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance runs to around 30 percent on top of the base rate, covering fuel, food, marina fees and crew gratuity. Caribbean high season is December through April, with the most favourable weather and highest guest demand coinciding from January to March.
Georgetown Harbour on Grand Cayman serves as the primary base for VSY charters in the islands. From there, Stingray City on the North Sound is thirty minutes north, and the passage to Little Cayman typically takes four to five hours in the settled winter swells, arriving in time for an afternoon dive on Bloody Bay Wall.
