Yvette and Darcy run their first 10-day charter aboard Supernova, a Sunreef 62, picking up guests on the Dutch side of Sint Maarten and sailing to St. Bart's and surrounding anchorages in the French West Indies.▶ 0:00 The route covers Philipsburg, Gustavia (where customs check-in was fast), Columbia Bay, and Ile Fourchoux, all within the St. Barthes national park area.▶ 0:00 Columbia Bay stood out as a top Caribbean anchorage — flat calm, protected, and dense with sea turtles; guests stayed two nights.▶ 6:00 Darcy, a PADI-certified dive instructor, ran discover scuba dives off the back of the boat, briefing guests on BCDs, regulators, equalizing, and breathing underwater before moving to open water.▶ 4:45 A BCD air bladder failed during pre-trip testing and was replaced before the dive — a practical example of rapid problem-solving on charter.▶ 5:09 Activities included snorkeling with turtles, hiking trails with wild tortoises, a beach breakfast ferried ashore by dinghy, and surf-and-turf dinners.▶ 6:54 Yvette scouted dive sites by jumping in first to assess bottom topography and marine life.▶ 16:53 The charter runs real-time; the second half, including more diving and hiking at Ile Fourchoux, continues the following week.▶ 22:13 Fast problem-solving and activity flexibility define the charter experience on a crewed catamaran.
