In short
The Riviera of the Caribbean
A 7 day St Barths yacht charter starts in St Martin and loops through Anguilla and St Barths, with nights in Gustavia, Colombier and Road Bay. Distances are short, 15 to 25 nautical miles between islands. The season runs December to April, and the weeks around Christmas, New Year and the St Barths Bucket regatta in March book out a year ahead. Superyacht charters here typically run from €100,000 per week plus expenses.
St Martin, Anguilla and St Barths form a tight triangle in the northern Leeward Islands. Together they offer the best beaches, the best dining and the most stylish harbour in the Caribbean, with less than two hours of cruising between them.
This is the winter equivalent of a week between Saint-Tropez and Monaco: long lunches ashore, beach clubs, boutiques in Gustavia, and quiet anchorages such as Colombier when you want the sea to yourself.
