The most visited island of the French Caribbean is St. Barthelemy, commonly known as St. Barts. In spite of its small size of just 8 square miles, it offers charterers a wide variety of entertainment, excursions, and activities. You can dine at restaurants reminiscent of those in Paris, shop in glamorous boutiques where you can buy from the latest collections of world famous designers, and rub shoulders with celebrities. The atmosphere on this small island exudes French chic from the moment your yacht comes up to the quay. Don’t be surprised if you run into Rod Stewart shirt shopping or Jimmy Buffett sitting at the next table in a café. Social life is centered in the port of Gustavia. The famous New Year’s Eve Yacht Hop is held in the French Caribbean, but if you want to catch it, be sure to book in advance.
Eden Rock Hotel and Nikki Beach are places that you shouldn’t miss. Visit Corossol and buy a straw, broad-brimmed hat or handbag. St. Martin consists of two islands and is a “worthy rival” to St. Barts as it has extensive shopping and gourmet restaurants. It’s also famous for its open-air barbecue restaurants, called “Lolo’s”. Many of them overlook the sea so you will get double the pleasure of having a perfect meal while enjoying the perfect seascape. The surrounding waters offer you awesome snorkeling while the beaches invite you to relax on the warm and soft sand.
Both St. Barts and St. Martin have excellent spas that offer you full relaxation. A mix of French lifestyle and tropical climate – that’s what the French Caribbean is all about.
