Feadship is the defining name in Dutch steel superyacht construction, building fully custom motor yachts from its De Vries and Van Lent yards in the Netherlands with a six-decade record of engineering excellence that remains unmatched in the charter market. Twenty Feadship yachts cruise the Bahamas and Caribbean, forming the largest concentration of Feadship charter availability anywhere in the world. Ragged Island, at the remote southern end of the Bahamian chain, gives a Feadship charter access to waters that are a world away from the crowded Exuma anchorages that dominate Bahamian charter at peak season. The Jumentos Cays, the open banks and the passages toward Acklins and the Turks and Caicos are all within reach of a Feadship hull, whose range and sea-keeping make extended itineraries straightforward. Charter rates for Feadship yachts in the Bahamas typically range from 200,000 to over 700,000 euros per week depending on hull length and the specific vessel. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent applies. The season is November through May, with the Christmas and New Year period commanding premium pricing. Feadship’s engineering reputation means that maintenance is meticulous and systems failures are rare, a particular advantage on a remote itinerary like Ragged Island where marina infrastructure is minimal.
