Who EVENSTAR suits
EVENSTAR is a 16.8 m sailing catamaran designed to host up to 8 guests across 4 cabins. With a crew of 2, she provides a relaxed environment for families or small groups looking to explore the water. Guests can make use of the paddleboards, kayaks, seabobs, and wakeboard during their time on board. When relaxing on deck or in the saloon, the air conditioning and indoor audio system ensure a comfortable experience for everyone.
She sits at a length similar to other vessels operating in the Leeward Islands, providing a familiar scale for those experienced with this class of yacht. The guest count is the same as comparable options in the region, and she maintains a build year similar to her peers. Furthermore, the weekly rate is similar to other yachts in the area, ensuring she remains a consistent choice for those planning a charter.
The best time to experience the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands is between December and April, when the trade winds provide consistent conditions for sailing. Chartering in these months allows guests to enjoy the region during the peak season. While she is listed for the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands through until December, planning a voyage during the early months of the year takes full advantage of the settled weather patterns.

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.
