About Bareboat Catamaran MICHELLE MA BELLE
MICHELLE MA BELLE is a Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 catamaran built in 2023, purpose-designed for independent cruising across the British Virgin Islands. With four queen cabins accommodating eight guests, she offers the rare combination of bareboat freedom and refined comfort, ideal for families or groups seeking intimate control over their itinerary without crew logistics.
Fountaine Pajot's hull design prioritises stability and ease of handling, delivering responsive performance whether you're motoring between anchorages or setting sail. The generous deck layout encourages time alfresco, whilst below decks the accommodation feels spacious rather than cramped. Modern systems include autopilot, GPS chart plotter, air conditioning, and electric toilets, ensuring practical cruising rather than roughing it.

- •Four ensuite double cabins with individual climate control
- •Highfield Hypalon tender with 15hp Yamaha engine for tender dives and beach landings
- •Onboard grill, coffee machine, and cockpit fridge for self-catering flexibility
- •Water toys included (kayaks, paddleboards, snorkelling kit; fishing available at hire)
The Charter Experience
Charter MICHELLE MA BELLE as the master of your own voyage through turquoise waters and white-sand anchorages. From Tortola, navigate to Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke at your preferred pace, dropping anchor at secluded bays where few vessels venture. The BVI's protected waters, steady Trade winds, and exceptional visibility make this an ideal destination for both seasoned sailors and confident bareboat operators. Snorkelling gear, kayaks, and paddleboards come aboard, transforming each stop into a chance to explore reef and shoreline at leisure.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day itinerary might begin in Tortola, then sail south to the Baths at Virgin Gorda for afternoon snorkelling, anchor overnight at Great Camanoe, then head east to the flats and bonefishing grounds of Anegada. Return via Mosquito Island and finish with a final night at Jost Van Dyke, exploring the island's beach bars and coral gardens before returning to Tortola. Flexibility is the bareboat advantage; wind patterns and personal preference dictate your exact route.
