A note from your charter specialist
If a client asks me for a yacht that simply gets it right, VAN DER WERF 286 is usually my first call. The 87.17m Van Der Werf build hits a sweet spot — big enough to feel like a private floating villa, intimate enough that the crew remembers how you take your morning coffee by day two. In Caribbean especially, the itinerary options around her are exceptional — and the crew know every anchorage worth the detour.

Ownership economics

What a yacht like VAN DER WERF 286 costs to own — not just to charter

A charter week on VAN DER WERF 286 is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 87m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
