Guadeloupe · Charter cost
How much does a yacht charter in Guadeloupe cost?
Charter pricing has a reputation for being deliberately opaque. It is not, once you know the four things you are actually paying for. This page sets out how a charter in Guadeloupe is priced, what sits inside the headline figure and what sits outside it, so that you can read a quote and know whether it is a fair one before you speak to anyone.
The figures come from the fleet we represent in Guadeloupe and are refreshed nightly. They are the shape of the market rather than a quote: a binding quote comes from the yacht owner or operator company for your specific dates.
A charter is priced by the yacht for the whole boat, not per person. Typical week rates: All sizes, $58,366 to $180,000. Typical day rates: All sizes, $7,354 to $22,600. On top of the charter fee, budget around 30% for the APA, 8.5% TVA and a discretionary crew gratuity of around 10%.
What You Are Actually Paying For
A crewed charter has four parts. Only the first is the figure you see advertised, which is why a quote can look like a surprise when it is really just the same charter written out in full.

What Sets the Price in Guadeloupe
- Where charters board
Charters in Guadeloupe board at Marina Bas-du-Fort (Pointe-à-Pitre), Marina de Rivière-Sens (Basse-Terre), Marina de Saint-François, and nights alongside are paid out of the APA rather than billed on top of the charter fee.
- Getting to the boat
The long-haul airport is Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport (PTP), 10 to 15 min by road to Marina Bas-du-Fort, Pointe-à-Pitre, and transfers are arranged by the crew rather than included in the charter fee.
- When the season runs
The charter season in Guadeloupe runs from November to May, the peak weeks are December to April, and summer sea temperature is around 26 to 28°C. The butterfly island spreads its wings between rainforest peaks and the Îles des Saintes: French Caribbean cruising with créole flavour.
