In the evening, anchor off of Grand Case and listen to the local jazz or lively reggae, while enjoying a cocktail on the aft deck of your yacht. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gustavia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-40787 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gustavia.jpg\" alt=\"gustavia\" width=\"623\" height=\"383\" \/><\/a><strong>Day 2: Gustavia, St. Barths<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spend the day in gorgeous St. Barths, the playground of the rich and famous in the Caribbean. Gustavia, the capital of St. Barths is the perfect place for the shopper in your group to hit the exclusive shops, before you head to more remote shores for some relaxing. \u00a0After you spent some time shopping, head on over to the windward side of the island to the wide bay at St. Jean, which is protected by a reef, and an ideal place for kite boarding or some windsurfing. The infamous Eden Rock hotel overlooks the gleaming, white sand beach. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/bay.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-40789 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/bay.jpg\" alt=\"bay\" width=\"626\" height=\"386\" \/><\/a><strong>Day 3: Colombier Beach, St. Barths<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This beautiful beach, which is still called \u201cRockefeller\u2019s Beach\u201d as for many years, David Rockefeller owned the property that surrounds it. It is\u00a0only accessible by boat or on foot and is the most isolated, hidden and secret beach on St. Barths. If you enjoy hiking, head over to Anse des Flamands to enjoy the panoramic ocean views over both sides of the islands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/island.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-40791 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/island.jpg\" alt=\"island\" width=\"628\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><strong>Day 4: Tintamarre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once more you can enjoy the privileged access that your private yacht offers by sailing to yet another uninhabited island. The 80-acre Tintamarre is off the northeast corner of St. Maarten. The most common word guests use to describe Tintamarre is \u201cparadise&#8221;, as this is what people imagine as a \u201cdesert island\u201d. There is no habitation, just turquoise water, white sand and palm trees. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/beach.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40793\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/beach.jpg\" alt=\"beach\" width=\"624\" height=\"445\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 5: Long Bay Beach and\/or Margot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bay is true to its name since it is the longest stretch of sand on the island, yet it is still one of the quietest, and it\u2019s possible to find a secluded spot. In calm conditions it\u2019s good for swimming and snorkeling, otherwise you can have fun playing in the surf. Tender ashore to enjoy the spa or cruise on to Marigot and visit the luxury boutiques at Le West Indies Shopping Mall, or peruse fine local art galleries before heading home from your holiday.<\/p>\n<div id=\"stcpDiv\"><strong><a title=\"Boatbookings.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/?bbr=bblog\" target=\"_blank\">Boatbookings<\/a> <\/strong>can assist you with creating custom itineraries, selecting the perfect yacht and crew for a holiday of a lifetime.\u00a0 <strong><a title=\"Boatbookings.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/custom_solution.php?bbr=bblog\" target=\"_blank\">Contact us<\/a> <\/strong>for your customized yacht proposal today.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St Maarten and St Barths are unrivalled charter destinations due to the variety of cuisine, culture and Caribbean beaches.
