St Barths Bucket Regatta
March 12 – March 15
The St Barths Bucket Regatta is the world’s premier superyacht sailing event, bringing together the finest sailing superyachts, their owners, crews, and guests in a celebration of camaraderie and competition. Held in Saint Barthélemy, it preserves the original spirit of fun, non-commercial racing conceived for the sheer pleasure of sailing large yachts amongst like-minded individuals.
The island of Saint Barthélemy, a French Overseas Collectivity, offers a perfect venue with its white-sand beaches, consistent trade winds, and historic Gustavia harbour. First inhabited by Arawak and Carib peoples, it passed through French, Swedish, and pirate influences before becoming a jet-set haven in the 20th century, drawing luminaries and cementing its allure as a glamorous yachting destination.
Today, the regatta remains invitation-only, inviting owners who share its values of seamanship, fair play, and social fellowship. Organisers act as stewards of this tradition, ensuring the event stays true to its roots amid evolving yacht technology and fleet sizes.
