Who KISMET suits
St. Francis sailing catamaran KISMET provides an intimate escape for six guests across three cabins, making her well suited to families or small parties of friends seeking relaxed island cruising. Measuring 15.2 m, she operates with a dedicated crew of two who ensure an attentive voyage throughout. Days on the water naturally revolve around the sea, with paddleboards and floating mats easily enjoyed from her swim platform, followed by casual lunches prepared on the bbq.
When set alongside comparable yachts cruising the Bahamas, KISMET presents a genuinely appealing choice. Her length sits close to the typical dimensions of alternatives in the region, and she welcomes the same guest count on board. She also shares a similar build year from 2022, whilst her weekly rate is lower than other options in the cruising grounds.
The best time to step aboard KISMET corresponds with her seasonal cruising calendar across the Caribbean and the Bahamas. In winter 2026, escaping to the warm sunshine between January and April delivers idyllic sailing. Looking ahead to summer 2027, she remains available throughout the Bahamas and the Caribbean, where June, July and August provide peaceful anchorages and inviting conditions.

Cruising the Bahamas: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from mid-December through April, marked by prevailing easterly trade winds of 10 to 20 knots and dry conditions. Occasional winter cold fronts bring stronger northwesterly winds. May is warm and calm. The Atlantic hurricane season officially spans 1 June to 30 November, bringing higher humidity, increased rainfall, and lower charter traffic, though summer conditions can offer settled seas outside of tropical systems.
Practical tips
- Fly into Nassau (NAS) or Exuma (GGT); Nassau's marinas are 20–30 minutes from Lynden Pindling International, while regional and private flights access Out Island airstrips.
- Cruising permits are required upon entry, and fishing or shelling is strictly prohibited within the boundaries of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.
- Provision thoroughly in Nassau before departing for the Out Islands, where grocery selections are limited and dependent on weekly freight deliveries.
Anchorages to know
- Shroud CayLocated within the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, this uninhabited mangrove island offers tidal creeks navigable by tender and sheltered anchorage on its western side.
- Staniel CayA central Exuma hub providing protected mooring options, direct access to Thunderball Grotto, and close proximity to Big Major Cay.
- Warderick Wells CayThe headquarters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park features a protected mooring field within a natural deep-water channel and marked hiking trails.
- Highbourne CaySituated at the northern gateway to the Exumas, it provides sheltered anchorage on its leeward side and an established marina for fuel and water.
