Admiral, the Italian custom builder, produces a fleet of aluminium motor yachts that carry the mark of Italian design and engineering at the upper end of the market. In St Lucia, an Admiral charter combines the visual drama of Italian superyacht styling with the scenically extraordinary environment of an island defined by the Pitons, the lush forest of the interior and the calm anchorages of Rodney Bay and Marigot Bay.
Admiral yachts in the charter fleet run from approximately 40 to 70 metres in aluminium, each reflecting the individual brief of the commissioning owner. The yard works with respected Italian studios on exterior and interior design, and the fitout quality reflects the craftsman tradition of the Italian Adriatic coast. Deck layouts are configured for outdoor Caribbean living, with beach clubs, aft terraces and sun decks proportioned to make the most of the warm-water environment.
Weekly charter rates for an Admiral in St Lucia run from approximately 130,000 to 320,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, anchorage or marina fees at Rodney Bay, provisions from the island and crew gratuities. Peak Caribbean season runs from December through April.
St Lucia rewards the visual quality of an Admiral charter. The anchorage beneath the Pitons is one of the most photographed locations in the world, and an Admiral motor yacht provides a backdrop that completes the scene.
