Amels, the Vlissingen-based Dutch yard owned by Damen Shipyards, builds semi-custom displacement motor yachts using a Limited Editions platform that delivers consistent quality and compressed build times. The 11 Amels yachts available for charter in The Exumas include vessels across the LE180, LE188, and LE212 ranges, providing groups from eight to twelve guests with a level of specification that rivals fully custom competitors. Amels interiors are predominantly designed by Laura Sessa and Tim Heywood, whose aesthetic combines warmth and precision in ways that photograph well and improve with familiarity. The Exumas provide an ideal winter backdrop for vessels of this standard: the 365 uninhabited cays of the chain offer privacy and natural beauty that complement the quality of the yacht experience. Charter weeks run from December to April, with the best water clarity in January and February. Rates for Amels yachts in The Exumas start from around 120,000 euros per week for a LE180 and approach 220,000 euros for the largest examples. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, provisioning from Nassau and George Town, marina fees at Staniel Cay and Emerald Bay, and all drinks and watersports consumables. Amels charters in The Exumas consistently rank among the most satisfying in the Caribbean region for guests who value both yacht quality and natural environment.
