St. Barth - Saint Barthélemy
A French Caribbean Classic for Superyachts
St. Barth by Superyacht
Saint Barthélemy, known as St. Barth, combines French island elegance with a distinctive superyacht scene. Gustavia’s red-roofed waterfront and Swedish heritage provide a characterful setting for fine dining and designer shopping, while Saint-Jean’s beach restaurants bring a livelier seaside atmosphere. Beyond the town, steep coastal hills frame white-sand bays, with Colombier and Île Fourchue offering quieter cruising stops. The island’s intimate scale and established sailing traditions give it a personality all its own within the northern Leeward Islands.
Destination Highlights

- Historic Harbour Setting
- Quiet Bays & Offshore Islets
- Superyacht Regattas
- Specialist Yacht Support
- Northern Leeward Islands Cruising
A St. Barth call can combine evenings ashore in Gustavia with quieter days off Colombier or Île Fourchue. New Year celebrations and the March St Barths Bucket give owners specific reasons to build an itinerary around the island. For captains, limited quay space makes early port liaison and well-planned tender transfers particularly valuable; local yacht agents can help secure shoreside arrangements during busy visits. St. Barth also pairs naturally with St. Maarten/St. Martin and Anguilla on a northern Leeward Islands itinerary.
International Access
Regional flights serve Rémy de Haenen Airport, commonly via St. Maarten or San Juan. Long-haul and private-jet arrivals can connect through Princess Juliana International Airport on St. Maarten.
Yachting Infrastructure
Gustavia provides stern-to quay berthing, while larger yachts anchor outside the harbour. Yacht agents, specialist provisioning, chandlery, fuel arrangements and technical assistance support visiting yachts.
- Max berthing: Gustavia harbour quay, stern-to berth up to 60 m LOA and about 4,5 m draft
- Max haul-out: small craft haul-out only
