About Bareboat Sailing Yacht FRENCH MAID
French Maid is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 509 purpose-built for discerning sailors who value both performance and comfort. This bareboat offering suits experienced navigators seeking autonomy across the Virgin Islands and Leeward Islands, accommodating up to eight guests across three cabin suites.
The yacht rewards confident helmsmanship with responsive handling and a forgiving motion that encourages extended time underway. Accommodation prioritises privacy and functionality: all three cabins feature queen berths, individual safes, and optimised ventilation with blackout shading. The forward master stateroom includes a dedicated dressing table and ensuite head, whilst two aft guest cabins share a second head fitted with electric toilet and a clever dry-zone shower panel.
Highlights
- •Three generously proportioned cabins with hotel safes and blackout shades throughout
- •Electric swim platform and 12-foot tender with outboard for independent exploration
- •Propane grill, air conditioning at anchor, BluRay entertainment, and convertible salon dining
- •Proven seaworthiness and helm response for experienced bareboat sailors
The Charter Experience
Charter French Maid for unscripted exploration of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and the smaller islands fringing the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Anchor in crystalline bays where few larger vessels venture, deploy the electric transom swim platform for immediate water access, or potter ashore in the 12-foot tender. Air conditioning whilst at anchor and a full genset ensure comfort between passages, whilst the propane BBQ transforms evening provisioning into ritual.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might commence in Tortola, progress eastward through the Drake Channel to Virgin Gorda's dramatic granite anchorages, and continue towards Jost Van Dyke and the remote northerly islands. Alternatively, venture south towards Nevis and St Barts for a more sheltered passage and consistent trade winds.
