The 2024 Leopard 42 catamaran awaits at Wickhams Cay II Marina in Road Town, your gateway to the British Virgin Islands—a archipelago of crystalline anchorages, steady trade winds, and islands that range from bustling colonial towns to uninhabited cays fringed with white sand. This three-cabin, eight-berth vessel combines the stability and spaciousness of catamaran design with the modern comfort expected of a contemporary charter platform, making it equally suited to families seeking a week of exploration, groups of friends ready to island-hop, or couples desiring a private escape with room for companions.

Life aboard unfolds across generous deck space and well-appointed interiors cooled by air conditioning, where a fully equipped galley, three ensuite heads, and a powerful generator ensure the practicalities of comfort are seamlessly handled. The dual 45-horsepower engines provide reliable propulsion through variable conditions, while the GPS chartplotter and autopilot allow you to navigate with confidence—whether you're plotting a course to Jost Van Dyke or anchoring in the lee of Cooper Island. Solar panels and a desalination system reflect a thoughtful approach to self-sufficiency, and the lazy jacks and lazy bag system make sail handling intuitive, even for those new to bareboat sailing.

Your week typically unfolds as a rhythm of morning departures, midday swims in turquoise shallows, and lazy afternoons at anchor where the dinghy ferries you ashore to beach bars and local restaurants. The radio-CD player provides soundtrack to sunsets, while the convertible voltage system keeps devices charged for capturing moments or staying loosely connected. Whether you're snorkelling the coral gardens around Salt Island, provisioning fresh lobster at a floating market, or simply drifting at anchor as the sun melts into the horizon, the British Virgin Islands reward those who venture beyond the marina with an intimacy that only a week aboard a well-found vessel can deliver.
