St Barthélemy / Special Interests / Sailing & Regattas
St Barths is quite a popular stopover for yachts. It is a natural place to sail to from nearby St Martin/St Maarten, which has a huge sailing industry. There are a number of small islands and cays scattered between the two islands. The only place to anchor off St Barths itself is on the protected south-western shore. When it gets busy, and Gustavia harbour is full to busting, the yachts sit at anchor hundreds of yards out to sea.
The main island in the region for yacht hire is nearby St Martin/St Maarten. On St Barths a number of companies offer day trips both by powerboat and by sailing yachts.
