Turquoise Yachts, based in Istanbul, Turkey, has become one of the most internationally respected superyacht builders from outside the traditional European yards, producing fully custom steel and composite vessels above 40 metres in collaboration with leading naval architects and exterior designers. The yard has built vessels for prominent private owners and its work is regularly featured in major yachting publications.
Guadeloupe is a fitting base for a Turquoise charter. The island combination of French culture, tropical landscape and clear Caribbean water provides a setting that complements the ambitious design language that characterises most Turquoise builds. The deep anchorages of Basse-Terre and the sheltered Saintes to the south accommodate the size of the yard larger vessels without difficulty.
Turquoise charter yachts in the Guadeloupe area typically range from 80,000 to 300,000 euros per week depending on vessel size and specification. The advance provisioning allowance, covering fuel, food, port dues and crew gratuities, adds approximately 30 percent. As with most custom superyacht builders, charter rates are quoted individually by the managing broker.
From Guadeloupe, a Turquoise charter can extend across the full Leeward chain from Barbuda in the north to Martinique in the south, taking in Antigua, St Barts and St Martin on the way north or Dominica and the Saintes on the way south.
