A Saba charter at 250,000 euros per week pairs a large, well-equipped superyacht with one of the Caribbean’s most compelling dive destinations and most private anchorages. Saba’s remoteness is structural rather than seasonal. The island has no tourist infrastructure to speak of, and the combination of a limited anchorage at Fort Bay and the absence of any beach means only purpose-driven visitors arrive by sea. The reward is exclusivity that other Caribbean destinations cannot manufacture.nnTwenty-one yachts in the Caribbean operate at this price point, covering vessels from 50 to 60 metres with professional crews of ten to twelve, full dive programmes, beach clubs, and watersports inventories including seabobs, jet skis and inflatable water toys for guests who want to explore Saba’s coastal walls and clear water without diving tanks.nnThe 250,000 euro weekly rate covers vessel hire and crew. Budget an Advance Provisioning Allowance of approximately 75,000 euros for fuel, all provisioning, port fees at Fort Bay and Dutch Caribbean customs. High season from December through April is when the anchorage is most protected and the northeast trade winds are most consistent. The Dutch Caribbean circuit, from St Maarten south through Saba and Sint Eustatius and back north to St Barths and Anguilla, fits neatly within one charter week.nnSaba is approached from St Maarten in under an hour at cruising speed. Fort Bay provides the primary and most protected anchorage on the southwest coast, suitable for vessels to 62 metres with adequate holding in calm to moderate conditions. Wells Bay on the north coast offers an alternative in settled weather and provides different views of the island’s dramatic volcanic profile. The dive programme spans Diamond Rock, the Pinnacles, Tent Reef and Man of War Shoals. Most itineraries include a day trip to the Saba Bank before heading to Sint Eustatius.
