Lurssen of Bremen, founded in 1875, builds the largest and most technically complex custom superyachts in the world. The yard has delivered vessels above 100 metres that rank among the most celebrated in the industry, and its engineering capability encompasses the full range of propulsion systems, hull materials and structural approaches that the custom superyacht market demands.
The Leeward Islands can accommodate Lurssen yachts of most sizes within the chain. Antigua offers English Harbour and the commercial port at St John for resupply, while the deep-water approaches to Guadeloupe and Martinique can receive vessels above 100 metres in length. The island variety across the chain gives a two-week Lurssen charter programme the depth of experience that matches the scale of the vessel.
Lurssen charter yachts in the Leeward Islands are among the most expensive in the world charter market, with weekly rates from 200,000 euros to above 1,000,000 euros depending on vessel size. The advance provisioning allowance, covering fuel, food, port dues and crew gratuities, adds approximately 30 percent. Charter arrangements are managed exclusively through appointed brokers and owner representatives.
From a Leeward base, the range and endurance of a Lurssen hull makes the extension north toward Bermuda or south toward Trinidad and Tobago feasible within an extended programme, transforming the two-week charter into a genuine ocean voyage.
