Who BELIEVEN suits
BELIEVEN is a 12.8 m sailing catamaran designed for intimate escapes. With 2 cabins accommodating 4 guests, she provides a comfortable setting for a small family or two couples looking to explore the water. Her layout prioritises ease of movement and relaxation, supported by a crew of 2 who manage the daily operations. Guests can make use of the air conditioning during warmer afternoons or enjoy the outdoor shower after a swim. For recreation, she carries kayaks and paddleboards, complemented by beach games and floating mats for time spent at anchor.
When positioned in the Leeward Islands, BELIEVEN sits in a familiar category. Her length is similar to comparable yachts in the area, and she maintains the same guest count as her counterparts. She shares a similar build year with these vessels, ensuring a consistent standard of modern equipment. Furthermore, her weekly rate is similar to other yachts in this class, making her a straightforward choice for those seeking a reliable sailing experience without significant deviation from local norms.
The best time to charter BELIEVEN is between December and April, when reliable trade winds define the atmosphere across the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands. This window covers the Greater Antilles, Leeward Antilles, Leeward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks Caicos, and the Windward Islands, offering ideal conditions for sailing. While she is scheduled for the same regions throughout the summer months, the peak charter season remains the period from December through April. Planning a trip during these months provides the most consistent weather across her entire cruising range.

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.
