The Leeward Islands are an arc of West Indian islands located in the eastern part of the Caribbean Sea, where dreamy white-sand beaches flanked by crooked palms are kissed by turquoise waters. The smaller islands offer a unique, intimate glimpse into Caribbean life, with a mix of natural wonders and cultural experiences.
 
After embarking in Saint Martin, the much-loved comedian ventures to Anguilla, which she remarks is so beautiful it makes her “want to cry”. Here, Susan enjoys a blissful dip in the pleasantly warm water of Katouche Bay, spots bats at Cavannagh Cave and explores the lush rainforest of Katouche Valley – home to 300 species of tropical plants, some of which have surprising cosmetic and medicinal properties. 

An overnight journey takes intrepid explorer Susan to the serene and picturesque island of Virgin Gorda. Here, she is captivated by awe-inspiring natural wonders such as ‘The Baths’ – a centuries-old maze of granite boulders and pools formed by cooled molten lava – and Devil’s Bay, which she describes as “Heaven on Earth”.

Other highlights include Susan immersing herself in island life at a beach BBQ in Jost Van Dyke, discovering a vibrant underwater world as she snorkels in the crystal-clear waters of paradise-like Sandy Spit, spotting exotic wildlife at a nature reserve on Prickly Pear Island, and exploring glamorous celebrity hotspot St Barts. 

Full of praise for her yacht cruising experience, Susan describes Emerald Sakara as “a wonderful home away from home". Like her, you’re sure to find our luxury yachts comfortable, cosy and a wonderful place in which to relax after thrilling excursions.

With intimate service and space for up to just 100 guests, our award-winning yachts allow access to secluded islands that larger vessels can’t reach, transporting you right to the heart of magical destinations inaccessible to the ordinary traveller.

Susan took full advantage of Emerald Sakara’s exceptional facilities, from unleashing her inner James Bond during a SEABOB adventure to unwinding in her elegantly-appointed suite complete with wraparound balcony. Follow in her footsteps and make the most of the generous inclusions available to you on our luxury yachts, whether you’re sampling a range of water toys from the Marina Platform, indulging in delicious cuisine at La Cucina Restaurant or joining new-found friends for drinks at the Sky Bar or Amici Bar & Lounge.
