Oceanco, the Dutch yard based in Alblasserdam, builds large custom motor yachts that regularly appear on lists of the world’s largest and most technically advanced vessels. The yard works almost exclusively on commissions above 60 metres and has delivered hulls that set new standards in solar energy, hybrid propulsion, and low-emission systems alongside the conventional hull construction for which Dutch yards are known. Chartering an Oceanco in Saint Kitts and Nevis is a rare combination: one of the most distinctive vessels in the charter market anchoring in one of the more historically textured destinations in the Leeward Islands.
Saint Kitts and Nevis together cover a manageable geography with considerable depth. The Brimstone Hill Fortress on Saint Kitts, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with views extending across the northern Leewards, and the volcanic summit of Mount Liamuiga offer compelling activities ashore. Nevis, through The Narrows, adds the plantation hotel circuit, the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton in Charlestown, and the quiet anchorage at Pinneys Beach. Oceanco charter rates reflect the scale and specification of the hulls and typically start well above 200,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent.
Port Zante in Basseterre can accommodate yachts of considerable size and provides fuel, provisioning, and marina berths. Frigate Bay is the preferred overnight anchorage on Saint Kitts, with Charlestown on Nevis accessible through The Narrows.
