A Saba charter from 150,000 euros per week places you aboard a substantial crewed yacht beside the Caribbean’s most dramatic volcanic island and its exceptional dive sites. Saba is a dormant volcanic cone rising abruptly from the sea with no beaches, no cruise calls and an anchorage that keeps the island’s visitors to a handful of yachts at any given time. For charter guests who come to dive, it is simply one of the best destinations in the Atlantic Caribbean.nnTwelve yachts at this price point in the Caribbean range from 44 to 52 metres with professional crews of six to eight, dive operations, comfortable owner-standard cabins and the range to run the full Dutch Caribbean circuit comfortably within a week. Several in this bracket offer purpose-configured dive boats as part of the yacht’s tender fleet, giving guests dedicated deck-level access to Saba’s dive sites.nnThe 150,000 euro weekly rate covers vessel hire and crew. An Advance Provisioning Allowance of approximately 45,000 euros covers fuel for passages between St Maarten, Saba and Sint Eustatius, full provisioning and port clearances. High season from December through April is when Saba’s anchorage is at its most reliable, with northeasterly trades providing wind and swell protection at Fort Bay.nnSaba is typically approached from Simpson Bay or Marigot in St Maarten, a passage of around 45 minutes by motor yacht. Fort Bay on the southwest coast is the port of entry and principal anchorage. Overnight stays require reasonable sea conditions, as the anchorage is exposed to west and south swells. The dive programme centres on Diamond Rock, the Pinnacles, Tent Reef and Man of War Shoals. Most itineraries circle back via Sint Eustatius and north to St Barths or Anguilla.
