Alloy is a New Zealand yard with a strong reputation for high-performance custom sailing yachts, built to race-proven standards and finished to a quality that bears comparison with the best European production. Their yachts tend to be fast, well-found, and suited to serious ocean passages as much as Caribbean day sailing.
Three Alloy yachts cruise in or near Turks and Caicos during the winter charter season. They range in length from around 25 to 45 metres, each bringing the New Zealand expertise in composite and aluminium construction that makes the hull lighter and stiffer than comparable yards. On a beam reach across the Caicos Bank, the difference between an Alloy and a conventional charter sailing yacht is immediately apparent.
Charter rates for Alloy yachts in Turks and Caicos typically run from 50,000 to 130,000 euros per week depending on vessel size. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, provisions and running costs. Rates follow Caribbean winter convention, peaking from December to March and softening in the shoulder months either side.
Turks and Caicos provides a capable base for a sailing yacht of Alloy calibre. The trade winds arrive reliably from the east, the passages between the islands are technically interesting without being demanding, and the open Atlantic to the north offers genuine blue-water sailing for crews and guests who want distance rather than anchorage proximity.
