Feadship, the Dutch cooperative building under the Holland Shipyard Group and De Voogt Naval Architects, represents the highest standard in superyacht construction. The yard builds entirely to bespoke commission in steel and aluminium, with waiting lists and pricing that reflect a level of engineering and finish without parallel in series production. Charter guests choosing a Feadship in Saint Martin are placing a truly exceptional vessel in one of the Caribbean’s most varied and well-provisioned destinations.
Saint Martin’s dual character, French and Dutch, makes it one of the more distinctive island destinations in the Leewards. The French side holds Grand Case, where restaurant tables above a small beach serve some of the finest food in the Caribbean, and Marigot, a French administrative capital with a covered market and waterfront cafes. The Dutch side holds Simpson Bay Lagoon, the Caribbean’s largest protected waterway, where hundreds of charter yachts anchor alongside the marinas of Sint Maarten, and Princess Juliana airport provides transatlantic and regional connections. Feadship charter rates in the Caribbean start well above 200,000 euros per week and rise considerably for the largest recent commissions. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent.
Anse Marcel on the French north coast provides a sheltered alternative anchorage, and Oyster Pond on the east coast borders both sides of the island.
