The 250,000 euro per week level in the Leeward Islands brings a fleet of 60 to 70 metre superyachts that transform the island-hopping experience into something on an entirely different scale: vessels with helicopter-ready sundeck areas, beach clubs spanning two levels, chase boats capable of 40 knots and crew of twelve to fourteen who run the yacht programme with the kind of operational depth that only comes with a larger vessel and a larger team.
The Leeward Islands arc suits a superyacht of this size in a way that the more enclosed cruising grounds of the Mediterranean sometimes cannot match. The passages between Anguilla, St Barts, St Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, Barbuda and Guadeloupe are all manageable overnight legs, and the variety of anchorage character across the chain means the itinerary shifts in mood and atmosphere every day.
At this price, the watersports programme extends to a foiling tender, multiple seabobs, a full complement of dive equipment with a dedicated dive instructor and in some cases a fly-board or e-foil for guests who want something more adrenaline-driven. The chef works from a properly equipped galley with a provisioning budget sufficient to draw from the best suppliers at each island stop.
The advance provisioning allowance adds 75,000 to 80,000 euros for a full seven-night Leeward Islands circuit, covering fuel, provisioning, marina fees and onboard activities. Booking eight to twelve months ahead is advised for the peak season window.
