Who NAE KAE suits
NAE KAE provides an appealing layout for extended families or groups of friends planning an unhurried sailing holiday. Measuring 16.5 m, this sailing catamaran from Bali Catamarans was built in 2022 and refitted in 2024. She accommodates 10 guests across 5 cabins, attended by a crew of 2. Living spaces make life onboard effortless, with air conditioning providing comfort inside and a swim platform easing access to the sea for afternoons with the paddleboards and wakeboard.
Against comparable options cruising the Leeward Islands, NAE KAE sits in familiar territory. Her length is similar to other yachts in the area, and she accommodates the same number of guests. Furthermore, her build year is similar to alternatives in the region, and her weekly rate remains closely aligned with the surrounding fleet.
The best time to arrange a charter corresponds with her scheduled seasons in the Caribbean. Across winter 2026, January, February, and March present sunny passages through the Leeward Islands. Those seeking a getaway later in the calendar can join her during summer 2027, when June, July, and August deliver warm waters and steady breezes throughout 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.
