Alloy Yachts was a New Zealand builder of exceptional aluminium sailing yachts, many of them large ketches and sloops with automated rigs that allowed small crews to manage significant sail plans. The Alloy yachts that remain in the charter market are prized for their build quality, their genuine sailing performance, and the individual character that comes from bespoke construction.
Staniel Cay is an outstanding sailing base in the central Exumas. The Trade Winds that move through the chain provide consistent conditions for sailing between the cays, and Staniel Cay itself sits at the junction of some of the Exumas’s most rewarding sailing passages. Thunderball Grotto, Big Major Cay’s swimming pigs, and Pipe Creek’s reef system are all within easy reach. Three Alloy yachts are available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean.
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 passages, wines, and marina fees. The Caribbean sailing season from December through April is peak demand, and Alloy vessels with established charter reputations book up quickly.
An Alloy sailing yacht at Staniel Cay offers a combination of genuine sailing pleasure and natural exploration in one of the Bahamas’s most concentrated natural destinations. The Trade Winds, the reef, and the extraordinary wildlife make this a charter of real depth.
