The Yacht
SARA is a Leopard 46 crewed catamaran based in St. Martin, offering 3 cabins for up to 7 guests on Caribbean Leewards and Windwards itineraries including St. Barths, Antigua, the BVI and USVI.
Captain Vito leads the charter with 24 years of sailing experience, transatlantic crossings and broad mechanical knowledge, building a customized itinerary with expertly chosen anchorages. Chef Bea pairs refined cuisine with a wellness touch — she holds a captain's qualification and years running a high-end spa with reflexology expertise, creating an onboard retreat alongside the meals.
SARA's sleek exterior is complemented by solar panels for an energy-efficient cruise. The flybridge offers sweeping ocean views for sundowners, the aft deck is set up for alfresco dining, and the foredeck has an inviting sunbathing area for panoramic views at anchor.
Below, the interior has a contemporary layout with teak finishes and a bright saloon and dining area. Accommodation is 3 double cabins (2 queen beds, 1 double bed), each en-suite.
Water Toys: dinghy, snorkel gear, kayak, paddleboard, a large double paddleboard, fishing gear and underwater camera/video gear round out the time on the water around St. Martin's coves and reefs.
Specifications
From the Logbook
A 2012 Leopard 46 (refit 2023) based in St. Martin, SARA is a solid pick for couples or small families working the Leewards/Windwards on a 3-cabin boat. The real differentiator here is the crew pairing: Captain Vito's 24 years include transatlantic crossings and hands-on mechanical know-how, while Chef Bea doubles as a trained reflexologist and former high-end spa owner — a genuine wellness angle you don't usually find on a boat this size. The toy list is honest and sensible (kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a proper swim platform) rather than padded, and solar panels keep the cruise a bit greener. At $12–17.9k/week for 7 guests, she's a fair-value option for a Leeward Islands escape out of St. Martin.
