Leopard 46 · Moorings 4600 - 4 Exclusive
Four home bases cover the four cruising grounds we broker: Road Town and Nanny Cay, Tortola for the British Virgin Islands; Palm Cay Marina, Nassau for the Bahamas (Exumas); Le Marin, Martinique for the northbound Grenadines and Saintes; Port Louis Marina, St. George's, Grenada for the southbound Grenadines. Round-trip charters from each base are standard. One-way options include BVI → St. Martin, Grenada ↔ St. Vincent, and Le Marin ↔ St. Lucia on request.
For a 4-cabin Lagoon 42 or Bali 4.2 expect €7,500-€11,500 per week bareboat in shoulder season (April-May, November) and €13,500-€19,500 per week in peak season (December-March). Larger 46-50 ft catamarans run €18,000-€28,000 peak. Skipper adds €220-€280/day, hostess €180-€220/day, chef €240-€300/day plus food. Variable costs paid at base: Bahamas cruising permit ($300 USD), BVI marine park fees ($15/yacht/day), Grenadines mooring fees ($30-50 USD/night), fuel, and end-cleaning — all itemised on every written quote.
Licence rules differ by country. BVI and Bahamas accept a self-declared sailing résumé at check-in — no formal licence required for bareboat; the base may insist on a co-skipper if experience reads thin. Martinique follows French rules — ICC, French Permis Hauturier, or recognised equivalent. Grenada requires ICC, RYA Day Skipper or ASA 104 minimum plus a VHF SRC certificate. Always send a scan ahead of booking — we'll confirm acceptance with the home base before contracts go out.

BVI is the easiest first-time bareboat — line-of-sight navigation between Tortola, Norman Island, Cooper, Virgin Gorda and Anegada, 25-30 mooring buoys per anchorage, all passages 5-15 nm. Bahamas (Exumas) rewards longer crossings with empty sandbars, swim-with-pigs at Big Major Cay, and Thunderball Grotto — passages run 15-30 nm with the occasional 40-50 nm jump to Eleuthera. Grenadines (Martinique → Grenada) packs the densest snorkel anchorages in the Caribbean — Tobago Cays Marine Park, Bequia, Mayreau, Mustique — with 5-12 nm hops between islands and the most cultural variety: French Creole, British, independent island states all on one week.
Plan 3-4 hours under way most days and anchor by early afternoon for swimming, snorkelling and sundowners. BVI averages 5-15 nm passages — Tortola → Norman → Cooper → Virgin Gorda → Anegada → back. Bahamas Exuma chain runs 15-30 nm between cays with the Nassau-to-Eleuthera or Nassau-to-Andros crossings stretching to 40-50 nm. Grenadines packs 5-12 nm island-hops between Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Tobago Cays and Union. With 15-20 knot trades on the beam most passages are sailed not motored.
A one-time $300 USD permit on arrival at the port of entry (Nassau, Marsh Harbour, Bimini) covers a 12-month cruising and fishing licence for yachts up to 35 ft; vessels over 35 ft pay $500 USD. All foreign-flagged yachts entering Bahamian waters must clear in within 24 hours of arrival — fly the yellow Q flag until cleared. Departure clearance is also required. If you charter a Bahamian-flagged catamaran from Nassau or Palm Cay the boat is already permitted; no separate fee.
Caribbean trade winds blow east-north-east at 15-20 knots December through May, dropping to 10-15 knots June through November. The Christmas Winds reinforce trades to 20-25 knots from late December to early January — booking around that window is the trade-off between strong reaching conditions and busier anchorages. Atlantic hurricane season runs 1 June - 30 November (peak August-October). Most charter insurance excludes named-storm-zone cruising July-October, restricting BVI / Bahamas / northern Antilles charters. Grenada and Trinidad sit below 12°N — outside the main hurricane belt — so the southern Grenadines stay open year-round with minor insurance surcharges.
