Who ELYSIAN suits
ELYSIAN is a sailing catamaran measuring 16.8 m, well-suited for groups seeking a social atmosphere on the water. With 5 cabins accommodating 8 guests and a crew of 2, she provides a comfortable layout for family holidays or gatherings with friends. Her inventory includes paddleboards, a wakeboard, and kite board equipment, which complement the outdoor shower and BBQ for those who enjoy spending their days active on the deck.
When positioned in the Leeward Islands, ELYSIAN sits in a competitive category. Her length is similar to comparable yachts in the area, and she maintains the same guest count. She also shares a similar build year with other vessels in this segment, ensuring a consistent standard of modern equipment. Those evaluating options in the region will find that her weekly rate is similar to other yachts of this type, making her a practical choice for a charter.
The best time to charter ELYSIAN is between December and April, when the trade winds are reliable across the Caribbean, the Leeward Islands, and the Windward Islands. This period captures the height of the season, providing steady conditions for sailing. While she remains in these cruising grounds through to August, travellers looking for calmer winds and fewer yachts may find May to be a pleasant alternative before the hurricane season influences operations through November.

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.
