At 1,000,000 euros per week, a St Barts charter places the guest party aboard one of the most exceptional superyachts in the global fleet. St Barts and the Leeward Islands provide the perfect winter setting for these vessels: calm Caribbean trade winds, crystalline water and the social prestige of an island that attracts an international audience of discernment and means, particularly around the Christmas and New Year period when the most celebrated yachts in the world congregate in Gustavia’s harbour.nnThe crew of fifteen or more manages every element of the charter experience at the highest professional level, including the social logistics of a week in which private dinners on the island, priority access to the most sought-after beach clubs and helicopter connections to the other Leeward Islands are all coordinated simultaneously. The chef’s provision programme draws from St Barts’ exceptional supply network, which sources everything from fresh Caribbean lobster to Burgundian grand cru.nnThe 1,000,000 euro weekly rate is exclusive of an advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent. Fuel for a superyacht of this size in Caribbean waters, including generator load and water sports support, can represent a significant additional budget. Gustavia’s harbour is managed through a reservation system for yachts above 80 metres, and berths must be reserved months in advance of the peak season.nnSt Barts at this level of yacht is the defining expression of Caribbean luxury: the island’s combination of French culture, natural beauty and exclusive social circuit is matched perfectly by the ambition of the vessels operating here at the top of the charter market.
