Amels, the Vlissingen-based Dutch shipyard and member of Damen Shipyards Group, has built its charter reputation on the combination of proven hull engineering from the Limited Editions programme and interior quality that reflects long-term partnerships with the world’s leading design studios. Eleven Amels yachts are available for charter in Jamaica, making this the deepest single-builder selection on the island and giving charter guests the ability to match size, style, and price point to their specific requirements from a choice that no other yard can match in this market.nnThe Amels fleet in Jamaica spans the 55 to 80 metre range, covering the Limited Editions 180, 188, 212, and 242 programmes as well as fully bespoke commissions built beyond the semi-custom framework. Each vessel carries the structural assurance of Damen’s engineering standards while expressing a distinct aesthetic personality through its interior design partnership. In the Jamaican context, this translates into a yacht that performs reliably in trade wind conditions and provides the outdoor living quality that Caribbean charter demands.nnWeekly rates for Amels charters in Jamaica range from approximately 130,000 euros for a 55 metre Limited Editions example to 420,000 euros and above for the largest bespoke commissions. The advance provisioning allowance adds 30 to 35 percent. The December to April Caribbean season sees Amels’s Jamaican fleet at near-full capacity, with demand from European and North American guests competing for the same prime weeks.nnMontego Bay provides the principal berthing for superyachts in Jamaica, with infrastructure capable of handling Amels vessels across the size range. Port Antonio on the northeast coast is the secondary base, with the Blue Lagoon and Rio Grande river as the primary excursion destinations.
