Charter a superyacht in
To charter a private yacht in Saint Barts is to have lived. Saint Barthélemy, with its beguiling French-Caribbean blend of tropical glitz and laid-back charm, remains one of the most glamorous yachting destinations on this earth. Most often visited on a Leeward Islands yacht charter, exploring St Barts on a superyacht is the ultimate way to experience this glittering gem of the Caribbean. St Barts in winter offers the ultimate luxury escape from the Northern Hemisphere freeze. With a perfect winter climate, stunning beauty, and just the right balance of French glamour and Caribbean cool, everything you could want for a yacht charter is here.
St Barts has been sprinkled with yachting magic— that rare alchemy of attractions that combine to transform into gold. On the ultra-chic island, an old donkey clip-clops past the window of a Hermes store and a Hollywood actress emerges from a boutique, her bodyguard loaded down with shopping bags. Down at Port Gustavia, opulent superyachts shine in the sun, and at Nikki Beach, the champagne flows freely, DJ beats getting louder as the day wears on.

Yet for all St-Bart’s decadence—the long lunches at Eden Roc, the day spas, the glittering nights at Bagatelle— it’s the island’s staggering beauty that remains the undisputed star, with powder-soft beaches edged with rainforest and coconut palms, and turquoise sea that just begs you to swim and dive your days away. Does it help that you might see Rihanna playing in the surf, or Beyonce at the next table at Bonito during your yacht charter? Well, that just adds to the irresistible, eternal magic that is yachting in St Barts.
In December, St Barts sees an influx of superyachts and celebrities, with peak season running from December to March, offering mild winter weather (25-29°C/75-85°F), plenty of sunshine, and pleasant sea temperatures (26°C/79°F). The festive period, especially Christmas and New Year’s, marks the ‘ultra plus haute season,’ with vibrant celebrations and parties at places like Nikki Beach and Bagatelle, or aboard yachts anchored in the bay.
In mid-January, the St Barts Music Festival draws top orchestras and opera singers, while the St Barts Bucket regatta in March attracts large sailing superyachts. April is quieter with fewer yachts and lower rates, making it a great time to charter a yacht for a more peaceful experience. May sees more rain and humidity, while summer is the off-season due to the hurricane risk, peaking in August-October.
