St. Barths
The Caribbean island of St. Barths (short for Saint Barthélemy) is home to an exquisite mix of French elegance and tropical allure, making it a dream destination for yacht charterers. Famous for its pristine white-sand beaches, electric nightlife, and luxurious shopping, this volcanic island is a popular yachting hub for several good reasons. Cruising along its coastline reveals hidden coves, turquoise waters, and exclusive beaches like Colombier, which are only accessible via waters and Shell Beach, known for the large number of shells on its shores. The charming capital, Gustavia, invites you to come and explore its colonial history, designer boutiques, and gourmet restaurants, offering a touch of sophistication and elegance. A haven for watersports, from snorkelling and diving to sailing regattas like the world-famous St. Barths Bucket Regatta offers adventure for all ages. Ideally located in the heart of the Caribbean, St. Barths provides easy access to nearby islands like St. Martin and Anguilla, making it the perfect base for a Caribbean yacht charter.
