Turquoise Yachts, based in Istanbul, Turkey, has built semi-custom motor and sailing yachts since 2003, working with international naval architects and design studios to produce vessels typically between 40 and 80 metres. Turkish craftsmanship has evolved significantly through the yard’s projects, and Turquoise has delivered some of the most design-forward yachts in recent years under the guidance of studios including Adam Voorhees, Bernd Weel and Reymond Langton.nnThe Turquoise charter fleet includes both motor yachts and sailing yachts, giving guests a choice of pace and character suited to the Caribbean. Motor yacht builds in the 45 to 65 metre range typically feature wide aft decks, beach clubs and upper deck social spaces, while sailing builds in the 40 to 55 metre range utilise the Grenadines’ trade winds for comfortable passages between anchorages. Interior specification varies by project but consistently reflects quality Turkish joinery and finish.nnWeekly charter rates for Turquoise yachts available near Mustique typically fall between 70,000 and 200,000 euros depending on vessel size, type and season. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly 30 percent covers fuel, provisions, berthing and crew gratuity. Caribbean high season from December through April applies, with the sailing builds particularly sought during the peak trade wind months of January through March.nnMustique provides a well-positioned base for a Turquoise charter. Whether under sail south on the trades or motoring to Tobago Cays, the Grenadines chain is ideally scaled for a week-long itinerary from Britannia Bay.
