Amels is one of the foremost Dutch motor yacht yards, part of the Damen Shipyards Group and building at Vlissingen to a specification that places structural quality above fashion. Their semi-custom Limited Editions series and fully custom projects share the same wide-body displacement hull form that delivers exceptional interior volume relative to length and a level of sea-keeping that suits long Caribbean passages.
Eleven Amels yachts cruise in or near Turks and Caicos during the winter charter season, spanning from 55 to over 80 metres. Each carries the Amels signature: a high main deck, full-beam owner and guest suites, and an exterior arrangement that gives multiple levels of shaded outdoor space. Many were refitted relatively recently, and their interior finish reflects the standards of current build programmes.
Charter rates for Amels yachts in Turks and Caicos start at around 120,000 euros per week for the smallest examples and rise to over 350,000 euros for the largest flagships. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, provisions, berthing and crew gratuity guidance. Peak season applies from mid-December through March.
Turks and Caicos suits an Amels well. The protected Caicos Bank allows comfortable motor yacht operation even in winter swell, Grace Bay provides a celebrated beach anchorage, and the longer passage north to the Bahamas or east toward Puerto Rico is well within the range of any Amels in the fleet.
