Who SUN DAZE suits
SUN DAZE is a 16.8 m sailing catamaran well suited for groups of eight who appreciate a balance of comfort and active time on the water. With five cabins and a crew of two, she provides a thoughtful layout for families or friends looking to explore coastal waters. Her setup includes amenities such as air conditioning and a BBQ, alongside water toys like paddleboards and floating mats to ensure time spent in the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands is thoroughly enjoyable.
When positioned in the Leeward Islands, she sits at a length similar to comparable yachts in the area. Her guest count is the same as the alternatives, and she presents a build year similar to other vessels of her class. With a weekly rate similar to those found nearby, SUN DAZE remains a balanced choice for those seeking a modern sailing experience without deviating from the standard expectations of the region.
For those planning a trip, the best time to charter SUN DAZE is during the primary season from December to April, when the trade winds are reliable and rainfall is minimal. Should you prefer lighter breezes and fewer yachts, May is a suitable period to visit the Caribbean. While she remains in the Leeward Islands throughout her listed seasons, please note that charter activity is significantly reduced from June to November due to the Atlantic 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.
