Luxury Yacht Charter St Barth

Yacht Charter in St Barth

St Barth – or St Barthélemy as it is officially known – is a charming island which is becoming increasingly popular as a luxury yacht charter destination. The French overseas territory, which measures just eight miles, is the smallest of the islands that comprise the French West Indies but what it lacks in size it makes up for in style. A favorite with the jet set, St Barth is the French Riviera of the Caribbean with glorious white sandy beaches, pristine crystal clear waters and exclusive boutiques, restaurants and hotels.
