Who BERESHIT suits
BERESHIT is a 2023 Leopard sailing catamaran measuring 15.2 m, thoughtfully configured for 8 guests across 5 cabins with a crew of 2. She suits families or adult groups wanting an easy-going island cruise, combining sociable shared living areas with quiet private cabins. Days on the water are well catered for with paddleboards, kayaks, and a swim platform, while air conditioning ensures cool comfort inside after hours in the sunshine.
When assessed against comparable yachts in the Leeward Islands, BERESHIT aligns closely across key benchmarks. Her length sits right in line with typical alternatives in the anchorage, and she accommodates the same guest count. Her build year is broadly equivalent to other yachts in her peer group, and her weekly rate remains at a similar level to comparable sailing options in the region.
The best season to step aboard spans winter 2026, especially during January, February, and March when cruising conditions through the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands are delightfully settled. Looking further ahead, she remains available throughout the Caribbean into summer 2027, giving guests wonderful opportunities to explore sheltered bays under warm, reliable trade winds.

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.
