Who SEA ESTA suits
Leopard sailing catamaran SEA ESTA measures 17.7 m and accommodates 10 guests across 6 cabins, making her well suited to extended families or groups of friends who value both shared social areas and privacy. A crew of 2 looks after everyday navigation and hospitality throughout the voyage. Days at anchor revolve around relaxed outdoor living, whether gliding along the coastline using the kayaks and paddleboards, enjoying ease of water access from the swim platform, or retreating inside to the comfort of air conditioning after an active afternoon.
In comparison with similar yachts cruising the Leeward Islands, SEA ESTA aligns evenly with the regional fleet. She welcomes the same number of guests as competing catamarans in the destination, ensuring parity in group accommodation. Her overall length is similar to comparable alternatives, whilst her 2013 build year and weekly rate also remain similar, presenting a reliable standard that closely reflects what experienced charterers anticipate in these waters.
The best time to join SEA ESTA in the Caribbean is during the prime winter months of January, February, March, and April for her winter 2026 season in the Leeward Islands, when steady trade winds deliver fine cruising conditions. For those looking ahead to summer 2027, she continues her programme in the Caribbean across the Leeward Islands, making May, June, and July splendid months for peaceful sailing between tranquil anchorages.

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.
