Alloy Yachts was a New Zealand shipyard based in Auckland that built a series of exceptional aluminium sailing yachts, many of them in the Perini Navi tradition of large automated ketch and sloop rigs. Although the yard has closed, the Alloy sailing yachts that remain in charter service are highly regarded for their build quality, their sailing performance, and the individual character that comes from bespoke construction.
Shroud Cay in the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is an ideal destination for a sailing charter. The Trade Winds that move through the Exumas chain from the southeast provide consistent sailing conditions, and Shroud Cay’s tidal creek, Camp Driftwood, and surrounding reefs offer a natural environment to complement the sailing experience. Three Alloy yachts are available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean region.
Weekly charter rates for Alloy sailing yachts in Caribbean waters typically range from 70,000 to 160,000 euros depending on vessel size and season. An advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers provisioning, fuel for motor legs, wines, and marina fees. The Caribbean sailing season from December through April is peak demand, and established Alloy vessels with loyal repeat clients book up quickly.
An Alloy sailing yacht off Shroud Cay represents the sailing charter at its most authentic, combining a vessel of real character with one of the Bahamas’s most rewarding natural environments.
