Who STELLA MARE suits
STELLA MARE is a 16.8 m sailing catamaran perfectly suited for groups of eight seeking a comfortable getaway across four cabins. With a crew of two to manage operations, she provides a relaxed environment enhanced by air conditioning and an indoor audio system. Guests can spend their days making use of the swim platform or enjoying activities like paddleboards and wakeboarding, ensuring a balanced experience for those who appreciate both leisure and time on the water.
When positioned in the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands, she sits at a length similar to comparable yachts in the area. Her capacity of eight guests remains the same as other vessels of this type, while her build year of 2025 aligns with the age of alternatives found throughout these waters. She maintains a weekly rate similar to those same yachts, positioning her as a consistent choice for travellers who value modern standards and reliable performance during their time at sea.
For those planning a voyage, the best time to charter STELLA MARE is between December and April, when the trade winds provide steady sailing conditions across the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands. While she is also listed for the summer months of 2027, the period from January to April offers the most stable weather for exploring these destinations. Choosing a departure in these months ensures guests can make the most of her amenities in the pleasant conditions typical of 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.
