St. Barth

Few islands worldwide, can match the unique blend of style, nature and history that is St. Barth's. This is a tiny island, with huge appeal; where 'quality' is most certainly more important than 'quantity'... an island far away from the normality of life, making it the perfect 'getaway' destination for some of the highest profile names worldwide... from rock stars and politicians, to film stars and businessmen. St. Barth's then, is style. It is a place where the highest qualities of the 'first world', intertwine with the beauty and perfection of unspoilt nature. For Superyachts, Gustavia makes for a wonderful port of call with guests aboard. There are some of the very best gourmet restaurants anywhere... some of the most beautiful gift shops and boutiques to discover... and an enchanting little island to explore by car, with some of the best beaches around. The New Year's Eve Regatta (see 'Regattas' section) along with the amazing street party with live bands and fireworks, makes good enough reason of it's own to 'see the New Year in' here. A visit in January could combine the annual St. Barth's Classical Music Festival (see 'Classical Music Festival'); whilst February sees the ever colourful Carnival in town (see 'Carnival') section. Every year at the end of March, an exclusive collection of Superyachts gather here for the annual St. Barth's Bucket (see 'Regattas' section). The 'Bucket' is one of the most friendly, social - yet exclusive - events on the Superyacht calendar... where owners, guests and crew mix as one; with each yacht offering 'open-house' hospitality to the next; and the enjoyment of the evening, every bit as important as the day on the water!

The following chapter details a good selection of Captain's Recommended Services; including really superb 'Yacht Services' agents, used by the majority of visiting yachts - with all the inside island knowledge one could wish for... ready to help out, with literally anything one might require, including top class provisioning, well being and leisure services. When arriving on the island, make sure to bring on board a copy of ‘Tropical Magazine’, the magazine that captures the magic of St. Barth’s best of all.
