Perini Navi is an Italian yard founded by Fabio Perini in 1983, producing some of the largest and most technically accomplished sailing yachts in the world. The yard aluminium ketch and sloop designs in the 40 to 80 metre range are celebrated for combining powerful sail plans with motor yacht interior standards, allowing extended bluewater passages under sail without any compromise to guest comfort. Seven Perini Navi yachts charter in Puerto Rico, one of the strongest concentrations of the marque in the Caribbean and a direct reflection of the island appeal to sailing enthusiasts. Puerto Rico trade wind corridor is ideal for Perini Navi performance. From December through April, the northeast trades blow at 15 to 25 knots across the Greater Antilles, providing the consistent reaching conditions these sailing yachts are engineered to exploit. Departing Old San Juan or Fajardo on an eastward passage, a Perini Navi ketch under full canvas makes the Culebra crossing in well under two hours, reaching the Spanish Virgin Islands by early afternoon without the engine ever being needed. Guest accommodations across the seven-vessel fleet run from four to eight staterooms with full standing headroom, and the push-button sail handling systems mean guests can experience genuine ocean sailing without physical involvement unless they choose otherwise. Weekly charter rates for Perini Navi yachts in Puerto Rico range from approximately 75,000 to 280,000 euros per week. Sailing yachts use less fuel than comparable motor yachts, which moderates the advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent relative to engine-powered alternatives. High season runs December through April.
