At 300,000 euros per week the Virgin Islands charter market narrows to 14 yachts, all of which sit above 50 metres and are operated to a high standard of crew and equipment. This is the territory of well-known superyacht names, recent-build motor yachts from Benetti and Feadship, and substantial performance sailing vessels. Availability in this tier is limited during peak Caribbean season, so booking a year ahead is realistic.
Yachts here carry 11 to 14 crew and accommodate up to 12 guests. The master cabin is genuinely owner-sized, with a private office or study and a full-beam bathroom. Beach clubs fold down to the waterline with direct seawater access. Tenders run to 8 metres or more, capable of multi-day island excursions in their own right.
The 300,000 euro rate covers crew and the yacht. Add 30 percent, 90,000 euros, as your advance provisioning allowance for premium provisions, fine wine cellars replenished weekly, open-water fuel for the Anegada run, marina fees and port dues. At this level most captains will arrange bespoke shore excursions, private beach setups and dive masters travelling aboard.
The Virgin Islands remain a compelling choice even at this price point because the sailing distances between anchorages are short and the cruising ground is entirely self-contained, with no requirement for open-ocean passages to unlock the full itinerary.
