Kelton Gianni
Hi, I’m Kelton Gianni — a British captain with over a decade of global yachting experience. Since 2012, I’ve worked my way up from deckhand to first officer, then captain, on a wide range of yachts from 40 to 138 meters. Whether it’s overseeing passage planning, running bridge operations, or delivering exceptional guest service, I thrive on the structure and adventure that life at sea offers. I’m passionate about creating smooth, safe, and exciting journeys for everyone on board. Over the years, I’ve led charters across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, UAE, and Central America. I’ve worked extensively with guests, crews, and captains to deliver high-end, detail-focused service while maintaining a relaxed and approachable style. I’m also a certified rescue diver and love helping guests get the most out of their time in the water. What drives me most is the joy of helping people connect with the ocean — whether through a peaceful sail, a thrilling dive, or a sunset cruise. With a strong background in leadership, safety, and hands-on yacht operations, I’m here to make sure your charter is not only unforgettable but seamless from start to finish.

Jeandre Brits
Hi, I’m Jeandré Britz — a chef with a passion for the ocean, good food, and great company. My journey started in South Africa, where I combined my love for hands-on work with a deep interest in hospitality. After working in golf shops, guesthouses, and repair centers, I found my calling in the yachting industry, where I could bring my skills together in a dynamic and adventurous setting. Over the past few years, I’ve worked aboard vessels ranging from fishing boats to luxury sailing yachts, serving as both chef and first mate. I love cooking fresh, flavorful meals that match the mood and rhythm of life at sea. Whether I’m preparing a casual lunch or a special dinner to celebrate your trip, my goal is to create food that brings people together and enhances every moment on board. Beyond the galley, I’ve trained as a PWC instructor and completed numerous RYA and STCW certifications, which means I’m always ready to assist with water sports or jump in as deckhand when needed. I bring a relaxed, can-do attitude to every charter, and I’m here to make sure your time on the water is filled with comfort, flavor, and fun.

Who CLEOPATRA suits
CLEOPATRA is a sailing catamaran providing accommodation for 10 guests across 6 cabins, which suits families or groups of friends who appreciate a sociable layout. She is equipped for leisure with a hydraulic swim platform, a coffee machine, kayaks, and paddleboards, ensuring plenty of activity for those on board. With a crew of 2, the yacht focuses on straightforward service and guest comfort during time spent on the water.
When assessed against similar yachts in the Leeward Islands, she maintains a consistent profile. Her length of 16.5 m is similar to others in the region, and her capacity for guests is the same as the alternatives. She was built in 2023, so her age is similar to the vessels she is often compared with, and her weekly rate is also similar, positioning her as a predictable option for those familiar with this class of catamaran.
The best time to charter her is during the peak months of December, January, February, March, and April, when the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands experience consistent trade winds. While she is scheduled for these areas throughout the summer of 2027, the period from May through to November sees reduced activity in the region. Choosing to travel during the primary season ensures the most favourable conditions for exploring the islands.

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.
