Who MALKIA suits
Delivered by Sanlorenzo in 2020, MALKIA provides a refined setting for 8 guests across 5 cabins, looked after by a crew of 5. Measuring 29.6 m, she suits families or groups of friends who appreciate attentive service alongside generous living areas. Guests can stretch out on the sun deck, step down to the swim platform for an afternoon exploring with a seabob, or relax in comfort thanks to her stabilizers at anchor.
When evaluated against similar yachts in the Leeward Islands, she shares a similar length and build year with other options in her category. She accommodates fewer guests than comparable vessels, ensuring a noticeably uncrowded atmosphere across her suites and social areas. Her weekly rate remains similar to regional peers, presenting an appealing option for charterers who prioritise space and privacy.
The best time to charter MALKIA during her winter schedule across the Caribbean, the Bahamas, or the Leeward Islands spans January, February, and March, bringing pleasant warmth and settled anchorages. For summer cruising in the West Mediterranean and the East Mediterranean, itineraries along the French Riviera, the Amalfi Coast, or Greece in June, July, and August provide superb weather under bright coastal sunshine.

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.
