Who VIRIDIAN suits
VIRIDIAN is a sailing multihull that accommodates a large group across her 8 cabins. She is well-suited for social gatherings or family trips, providing ample space for up to 12 guests. Her 18.3 m frame supports a range of equipment for time spent on the water, including kayaks, paddleboards, a wakeboard, and beach games. On board, guests can make use of the BBQ, air conditioning, and swim platform to ensure comfort throughout the day.
She sits close to the typical length for comparable yachts in the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands. While her build year is similar to other yachts in the area, she takes more guests than the typical alternatives found in these waters. Her weekly rate is similar to the options frequently found in the region, providing a balanced choice for those seeking a specific capacity for their party.
The Caribbean and the Leeward Islands see reliable trade winds from December through April. These months constitute a period for enjoying the sailing conditions in the region. She is positioned for the Caribbean and the Leeward Islands during winter 2026 and summer 2027. Careful planning is encouraged for travel between June and November, as charter operations are reduced during these months.

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.
