Who BELLA VITA suits
BELLA VITA provides a spacious environment for twelve guests across six cabins, well-suited for groups seeking a motor yacht experience with ample facilities. She is equipped with a movie theatre, an elevator, a gym, and a swimming pool, ensuring comfort and activity levels remain high throughout a voyage. Guests can make use of water toys such as water skis and a waverunner, which serve to keep the time spent on the water engaging for all passengers.
When positioned in the Leeward Islands, she stands out through her physical presence. At 75.6 m, she is longer than similar yachts in the area, though she accommodates the same number of guests. Her build year is older than other vessels in this class, yet she maintains a weekly rate that is similar to what one expects for comparable options. With a crew of 22, she manages a high standard of service for those on board.
The best time to experience BELLA VITA is during the primary charter season, which runs from December through April. These months provide the most favourable conditions for visiting the Caribbean, the Bahamas, the Leeward Islands, and the Windward Islands. While November and May are also within her operating window, the winter months remain the most popular choice for those looking to enjoy these waters at their peak.

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.
