Ten yachts reach 500,000 euros per week for charter in Puerto Rico, covering some of the largest superyachts available in the Caribbean market, typically 85 to 95 metres with crews of sixteen or more and facilities that include dedicated spa departments, beach clubs with retractable terraces, and stabilisation systems that eliminate motion at anchor. These are vessels where the on-board environment is as significant as the destination.
Puerto Rico provides the infrastructure these vessels require. San Juan’s deep-water berths and experienced customs agents handle a 90-metre arrival efficiently, and the island chain to Culebra and Vieques gives a week of genuine variety without requiring the offshore passages that larger vessels handle best. The surrounding Caribbean, including the US and British Virgin Islands, extends the range of multi-week programmes.
At 500,000 euros the weekly base covers vessel and crew. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent adds approximately 150,000 euros for fuel, provisions for up to fourteen guests, marina fees, and port dues. Total spend for a peak-season week typically falls between 638,000 and 678,000 euros. Peak Caribbean weeks book eighteen to twenty-four months ahead for the top vessels in this bracket.
Guests chartering at 500,000 euros per week in Puerto Rico typically use the island circuit as the first week of a longer Caribbean programme, continuing through the Virgin Islands and toward Grenada over subsequent weeks. The vessel’s range and crew size make this entirely practical.
