Charter Yachts Gather In St Barts For New Year’s Eve Celebrations

By Oliver Pearson 30 December 2016

With a number of outstanding charter yachts berthed in Gustavia whilst others sit at-anchor a short distance away, it’s clear that Saint Barts remains the place to be on New Year’s Eve.

One of the most anticipated superyacht events of the year, New Year’s Eve in St Barts is undoubtedly one of the most exciting traditions to join in on.

A truly glamorous part of the Caribbean, the island is home to numerous bars and restaurants, beautiful beaches, and a breathtaking coastline. Most importantly, though, St Barts knows how to throw a party.

Along with the ‘just for fun’ regatta which takes place during the day, and the partying at Nikki Beach which goes on until the small hours, the general atmosphere attracts a range of celebrity travellers. No surprise, then, that there is once again an abundance of superyachts in attendance.

One such motor yacht generating plenty of excitement is the 163m/533ft superyacht ECLIPSE as she makes her usual appearance in the surrounding waters.

Now only a day away, we take a look at some of the best charter yachts which will be bringing in the new year on the highly celebrated island.

Perfectly primed for partying, the 64m/208ft motor yacht ‘Lioness V’ features vast exterior space as well as plenty of amenities for guests to take advantage of.
