St. Barths Bucket

SAIL FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS IN ST. BARTHS

The St. Barths Bucket is one of sailing’s most impressive nautical events where opulence on the shore is matched by giants of the sea, and Caribbean glitz merges with some serious sailing action.

Each year, sailing professionals from around the world flock to Gustavia, one of the most beautiful natural harbors in existence, to ready for a week of battle in 25-knot winds.

The chance to witness seven competitive classes of racing in tropical conditions is not to be missed.

For decades, the historic St. Barths Bucket has hosted the largest sailing yachts on the planet. Whether viewing the action from golden sandy beaches, tracking the racecourse aboard a shadow boat or surveying from a distance aboard a superyacht at anchor, each day brings something memorable.

As mammoth sails unfurl, joie de vivre and sporting camaraderie is captured in giant billowing spinnakers. Breathtaking races come down to the second finishes, after which island celebrations continue long into the Creole-infused night.
