Who RIPPLE suits
RIPPLE is an 18.9 m sailing catamaran that comfortably welcomes 8 guests across 5 cabins. With a crew of 3, she is well-suited for families or groups of friends seeking a relaxed pace on the water. Her layout prioritises comfort, featuring air conditioning throughout the interior and a well-equipped outdoor shower for refreshing rinses after a swim. Guests can make the most of the sun with kayaks and paddleboards, or enjoy an afternoon session with the wakeboard and kneeboard, ensuring plenty of activity for all ages.
When assessing her against other yachts in the Leeward Islands, RIPPLE holds her own with a build year similar to those in the local fleet. Her length is similar to comparable vessels, and she maintains the same guest count, allowing for an experience that aligns with the established standard for this class of catamaran. Furthermore, her weekly rate is similar to the options found in the area, positioning her as a balanced choice for those who appreciate a consistent level of quality and service during their time at sea.
The best time to charter RIPPLE is between December and April, when the trade winds are reliable and the weather remains dry across the Caribbean, the Leeward Islands, and the Windward Islands. These months provide the ideal conditions for exploring these regions, particularly around the festive period. While she remains in these waters through the summer months, guests should be mindful that charter activity across the Caribbean is reduced from June through November due to the hurricane season.

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.
