Admiral Yachts, the Italian shipyard owned by WDMS Group and based in La Spezia, builds aluminium motor yachts renowned for their seakeeping and long-range capability. The yard’s portfolio spans fast planing hulls and semi-displacement designs, covering yacht sizes from around 35 to over 70 metres. Chartering an Admiral in Curacao brings this Italian engineering to a destination that offers an unusually diverse set of experiences for Caribbean charter, from historic city moorings to remote reef anchorages. Curacao’s southern coastline is lined with natural bays, many sheltering clear water over undisturbed coral, while Willemstad’s UNESCO-protected colonial architecture makes for an afternoon of waterfront cafes, craft spirits, and colourful Dutch facades seen from the water. The island sits outside the main hurricane belt and receives a reliable easterly trade wind that makes overnight passages to Bonaire and Aruba straightforward for a vessel of Admiral’s range. The charter fleet available through The Yacht Collection typically includes Admiral yachts accommodating eight to fourteen guests in four to seven cabins. Interior design reflects current Italian tastes, with open-plan saloons, generous beach clubs, and top decks fitted for lounging and dining. Weekly charter rates in the Caribbean run from approximately 70,000 to 320,000 euros. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly 30 percent applies. High season is December through April. Curacao’s well-maintained marina facilities at Spanish Water make it a practical base for week-long Caribbean itineraries.
