Bareboat Sailing Yacht XERES

XERES is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 509 purpose-built for Caribbean cruising. Designed by Philippe Briand, this sailing yacht balances timeless aesthetics with genuine seaworthiness, offering the control and responsiveness serious sailors expect alongside the comfort expected by those chartering with family and friends.

Seven generously appointed cabins accommodate up to 12 guests, making XERES ideal for multi-family expeditions or intimate flotillas. The thoughtful layout maximises both privacy and social spaces, with a well-equipped galley and saloon that serve as the hub for evening gatherings across the Leeward Islands and beyond.

The high-aspect ratio sail plan delivers exceptional versatility; whether you favour full canvas in steady trade winds or prefer a more conservative rig in stronger conditions, the sails can be configured to suit your preferred style of sailing. This is a boat that rewards attentive seamanship rather than relying on engines.

Bareboat charter from the Leeward Islands opens routes through some of the Caribbean's most coveted anchorages. From Antigua's sheltered bays to the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the Windward Islands, or westward towards the Spanish Virgin Islands, XERES performs equally well on longer passages and leisurely island hopping. The Virgin Islands region offers protected waters ideal for building confidence, whilst those seeking adventure can venture south towards Central America or push further into the Caribbean's lesser-explored corners.
