St Barts

French-Caribbean elegance, best seen from the water

St Barts (also St Barth or Saint-Barthélemy) is a small French island in the Leeward Islands of the north-eastern Caribbean. Its harbour town, Gustavia, becomes one of the region's busiest superyacht anchorages each winter.

Lund Group curates weekly and festive charters around St Barts and the neighbouring islands, and arranges the flights, villas and concierge around them. Every yacht and date is confirmed with the owner's representatives before it is offered to you.

Bays, beaches and anchorages

Gustavia

The small harbour capital on the island's west side, with a port office, boutiques and waterfront restaurants. Larger yachts usually anchor in the outer roads and use tenders to come ashore.

Colombier

A secluded bay in the north-west, reached only by sea or on foot. Part of the island's protected marine reserve, with mooring and anchoring rules set by the reserve.

Saint-Jean

The island's best-known beach, beside the short airstrip. Calm water, beach restaurants and easy tender landings in settled conditions.

Grand Cul-de-Sac

A shallow, reef-protected lagoon on the north-east coast, known for water sports and quiet hotels. Yachts stay outside; guests come in by tender.

Lorient

A village and bay on the north coast with a relaxed, local feel, good for a quiet lunch ashore or an early swim.

Gouverneur & Saline

Two wide, undeveloped beaches on the south coast. Popular day stops when the swell allows, with little more than sand and sea.

Gustavia

Berth or anchorage?

Space inside Gustavia harbour is limited and allocated by the port, particularly over the festive period. Many yachts, and most larger superyachts, anchor in the outer roads or nearby bays and bring guests in by tender.

Where a yacht stays is decided with the captain and the port, and depends on its size, the dates and the weather. We never promise a berth that has not been confirmed.
