Amels, built in Makkum under the Damen Yachting group, is best known for its Limited Editions series, a range of semi-custom displacement yachts that has become one of the most recognised product lines in the 50 to 80 metre market. The yard commitment to build quality and on-time delivery has made it a favourite with experienced owners, and by extension with the charter market that draws from that ownership pool.
Guadeloupe is one of the most rewarding Caribbean charter destinations. The island offers a French cultural experience alongside the natural attributes of the Lesser Antilles, with Creole cuisine, lively markets and a waterfront atmosphere that sets it apart from more Anglophone charter bases in the region. The surrounding waters are clear, warm and well suited to the large displacement vessels that characterise the Amels fleet.
Amels charter yachts in the Guadeloupe area are typically priced between 80,000 and 350,000 euros per week depending on vessel length and specification. The advance provisioning allowance runs at around 30 percent and covers fuel for cruising and generators, provisioning, port dues and crew gratuities.
The Leeward Islands as a whole offer a natural cruising ground for Amels yachts, which have the range and stability to move comfortably between Guadeloupe, Antigua, St Barts, St Martin and the British Virgin Islands across a two-week itinerary. Winter season from December to April is the most popular period.
