The 600,000 euro per week tier represents the entry point to the world of true megayacht chartering: vessels from 100 metres upward whose gross tonnage, crew complement and depth of onboard amenity create an experience that is genuinely difficult to compare to anything else in the private travel market. In Guadeloupe, a yacht of this size at anchor is a significant event.
Only a small number of vessels in the 100 to 115 metre range actively take charters in the Caribbean at any given season. Those that do arrive with crews of twenty-four or more, a dedicated helicopter, a submersible in some cases, a full spa facility across multiple treatment rooms and a beach club designed as a destination in its own right. The chef manages a kitchen programme that rivals a top hotel fine-dining operation.
Guadeloupe anchoring points for a vessel of 100 metres focus on the deeper water outside Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin lagoon, the outer Saintes channel, and the open roadstead off Pointe-a-Pitre where the yacht swings in clear water. The itinerary extends as far as Dominica, Martinique or Antigua within a comfortable overnight passage.
The advance provisioning allowance at this level runs to 170,000 euros or above, covering helicopter operations, premium provisioning, specialist provisions flown in, and the fuel for passages that may extend across 600 nautical miles of the Leeward Islands arc.
