Who BAREFOOT COWBOY suits
BAREFOOT COWBOY is a sailing catamaran well-suited for groups of up to 10 guests who appreciate a balance of comfort and active days on the water. With 5 cabins and a crew of 2, she accommodates families or friends looking to enjoy the Caribbean and Leeward Islands. Guests can enjoy the air conditioning and outdoor shower, or make use of the paddleboards and tube for time spent in the water.
She sits at 17.7 m, a length similar to other yachts in the Leeward Islands. Her guest count is the same as the typical vessels in this category, and she maintains a build year similar to her peers. Furthermore, the weekly rate for this 2015 Leopard remains similar to those alternatives, providing a consistent option for those familiar with this class of catamaran.
The best time to charter BAREFOOT COWBOY is during the primary season from December through April, when the trade winds provide reliable conditions. While she is in the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands throughout the winter 2026 and summer 2027 seasons, the period from January to April aligns with peak interest. May provides a change in pace with lighter breezes, and though she remains in the region from June through November, these months fall within the period of reduced charter activity.

Cruising the Leeward Islands: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from December to April, marked by reliable north-easterly trade winds of 15 to 25 knots and minimal rainfall. Peak demand occurs during the festive period and regatta weeks. May brings lighter breezes and fewer yachts, while the official Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, during which charter operations are significantly reduced.
Practical tips
- Fly into St Maarten (SXM) or Antigua (ANU); Simpson Bay marinas are 5–15 minutes from SXM, while English Harbour and Falmouth are 30–40 minutes from ANU.
- Cruising between island nations requires clearing customs and immigration at designated ports of entry, with passports and ship documents presented by the yacht captain.
- Provisioning is most extensive on St Maarten and Antigua, which have large supermarkets near key marinas, whereas smaller outlying islands have more restricted inventory.
Anchorages to know
- Anse de Colombier, St BartsA sheltered, uninhabited bay within the nature reserve featuring mooring buoys, clear water, and walking tracks to the headland.
- English Harbour, AntiguaA deeply indented, historic harbour offering landlocked shelter, designated anchorages, and direct access to restored naval facilities.
- Green Island, AntiguaAn uninhabited island protected by an outer barrier reef, providing calm waters for tender use and water sports.
- Simpson Bay, St MaartenA broad roadstead anchorage and sheltered lagoon entrance providing well-protected holding and quick access to coastal services.
