Amels is a Dutch superyacht builder based in Vlissingen, part of the Damen Shipyards Group, producing the Limited Editions series and fully bespoke commissions that share the same robust hull construction and meticulous systems engineering. The Limited Editions series covers hull sizes from 180 to 242 feet with fully custom interiors, while bespoke Amels commissions operate outside any size constraint. The eleven Amels yachts available from Dominica represent a cross-section of the yard’s output, from the elegant swept superstructure of a 55-metre Limited Editions vessel to larger bespoke builds with substantial interior volume. Dominica is the least developed and most natural of the Caribbean’s Windward Islands, offering a charter experience defined by volcanic scenery, exceptional marine environments, and a genuine remoteness that is increasingly rare in the Caribbean. Prince Rupert Bay on the northwest coast provides the primary deep-water anchorage, with Portsmouth’s waterfront and the Indian River offering access to Dominica’s interior. Scott’s Head at the southern tip presents one of the Caribbean’s finest dive sites above a submerged volcanic crater. Weekly charter rates for an Amels from Dominica range from approximately 65,000 to 180,000 euros per week depending on the vessel’s size, with an advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covering diesel, provisions, crew gratuities, and marina fees. Caribbean peak season is December through April. The passage to Guadeloupe’s Les Saintes archipelago is two to three hours north, and Martinique’s Fort-de-France Bay is a similar distance south, giving Dominica a well-positioned central role in a wider French Caribbean circuit.
