Who MERRY-TIME suits
Crafted by Bali Catamarans, MERRY-TIME is a 14.6 m sailing catamaran that comfortably welcomes eight guests in four cabins, supported by a crew of two. She is well suited to families or groups of friends who value time together at anchor, making good use of her paddleboards, kayaks, and swim platform for effortless ocean access, whilst air conditioning ensures complete comfort below deck.
Set alongside similar yachts operating in the Leeward Islands, MERRY-TIME fits comfortably within local expectations across every metric. Her length sits close to typical options in the area, and she accommodates the exact same number of guests as her counterparts. Her 2022 build year is also in keeping with similar options nearby, and her weekly rate aligns closely with what you would pay for alternatives in the region.
MERRY-TIME is scheduled to cruise the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands for winter 2026 and summer 2027. The best season for winter sunshine stretches from December through to April, bringing reliable sailing conditions across the Caribbean. Those eyeing summer 2027 can secure unhurried anchorages between May and July, making that window an excellent time to explore the Leeward Islands.

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.
