Who HALCYON suits
Constructed by Fountaine Pajot in 2024, HALCYON welcomes up to 8 guests across 4 well-appointed cabins, looked after throughout their voyage by a dedicated crew of 2. At 15.5 m, this sailing catamaran suits families or groups of close friends seeking relaxed, easy-going days on the water. Her layout allows everyone to find their own corner to unwind, whether spending sunny afternoons on the floating mats, trying out the kneeboard, or enjoying casual meals prepared on the bbq in full air conditioning comfort.
When measured against 4 similar yachts cruising the Leeward Islands, HALCYON matches up remarkably evenly across key metrics. She sits close to the typical length for comparable yachts in the region and accommodates the same number of guests. Furthermore, her build year is very similar to alternatives nearby, while her weekly rate remains closely aligned with equivalent charter vessels.
The best time to experience HALCYON in the Caribbean runs across her winter 2026 schedule from January to April, bringing idyllic conditions for island hopping throughout the Leeward Islands. For guests planning further ahead, she continues her programme in the Leeward Islands into summer 2027, where months such as June and July present a wonderful opportunity for an extended getaway under sail.

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.
