A Saba charter from 125,000 euros per week delivers a proper superyacht experience beside one of the Caribbean’s most dramatic and least-visited volcanic islands. Saba rises from the sea as a single volcanic cone, its summit reaching 877 metres above Fort Bay, with no beaches and no flat ground anywhere on the island. What it has, and what draws charter guests willing to work slightly harder than a typical Caribbean week, is world-class diving and an atmosphere of complete remoteness.nnThirteen yachts in the Caribbean operate at this price point, covering motor and sailing yachts from 42 to 50 metres with professional crews of six to eight. These are well-equipped charter vessels carrying dive compressors, multiple tenders and sufficient range for the Dutch Caribbean circuit from St Maarten south through Saba and Sint Eustatius and back north to Anguilla and St Barths.nnThe 125,000 euro weekly rate covers vessel hire and crew. Budget an Advance Provisioning Allowance of approximately 37,500 euros for fuel between islands, full provisioning, port fees at Fort Bay and Dutch Caribbean customs clearance. Caribbean season from December to April offers the most reliable conditions for Saba’s exposed anchorage, which can be uncomfortable in northerly swells typical of late autumn.nnSaba is reached from St Maarten in under an hour by motor yacht and around two hours by sailing vessel. Fort Bay on the southwest coast is the port of entry and the primary anchorage. The dive sites are the principal attraction: Diamond Rock, the Pinnacles, Tent Reef and the offshore Saba Bank offer conditions that dedicated dive charter guests rate among the best in the Atlantic Caribbean. Most itineraries connect to Sint Eustatius, St Maarten and either Anguilla or St Barths to complete the week.
