Who STAND BY ONE suits
STAND BY ONE is a 15.2 m Fountaine Pajot sailing catamaran that suits families or groups of friends seeking a relaxed island getaway. With 4 cabins accommodating 8 guests, she provides a well-balanced layout for shared holidays, supported throughout by a professional crew of 2. Having undergone a refit in 2024 following her launch in 2015, she keeps guests comfortable in warmer climates with air conditioning.
When assessed against comparable yachts listed in the Leeward Islands, she measures a similar length and accommodates the same guest count. Although her build year is older than that of similar alternatives, her recent refit ensures her spaces remain fresh and inviting. In terms of charter expenditure, her weekly rate sits at a similar level to other sailing yachts cruising the area.
The best time to plan a charter aboard STAND BY ONE falls across her scheduled winter 2026 and summer 2027 seasons. She welcomes guests across the Caribbean, the Leeward Islands, and the Windward Islands. Cruising during winter months such as January, February, and March brings steady sailing breezes, whilst summer bookings in June, July, or August present warm waters and quiet anchorages across the region.

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.
