Day 6
Ile Fourchue to St. Barts
9nm*
Begin your day with a swim or take the tender ashore to explore the unique
landscape of Ile Fourchue. With its black sand beach and arid terrain, this
island feels almost otherworldly. Located between St. Maarten and St. Barts, Ile
Fourchue is a dry, rocky island with steep hills and craggy peaks, reaching a
height of just 33 feet above sea level. The island is privately owned, and its
only inhabitants are a few goats.
Nearby, a dive site offers some of the best snorkeling and SCUBA diving in the
Caribbean, with waters full of diverse fish species, eagle rays, and vibrant
coral. After exploring underwater, hike to the peaks of lle Fourchue to take in
stunning 360° views of the surrounding islands and your yacht anchored below.
After a morning at lle Fourchue, set sail for St. Barts, approximately 9
nautical miles away. Arrive in Gustavia, the capital of St. Barts, where you can
spend the afternoon exploring this sophisticated and charming port town, known
for its French flair, luxury boutiques, and vibrant atmosphere.
Day 7
St. Barts
Start your day in Gustavia by taking a leisurely stroll along the picturesque harbor, lined with boutique shops and French cafes. While you explore, your Captain will handle the customs clearance at the Customs House. For a adventurous exploration, consider renting a four-wheeler to traverse the island's scenic routes. This allows you to discover St. Barts' hidden gems, from secluded beaches to stunning viewpoints, at your own pace. The island's rugged terrain and breathtaking vistas make for an exciting ride. Later in the day, the yacht will move to the nearby bay of Anse de Colombier. This beautiful and tranquil anchorage offers the perfect spot to unwind. You can hike along a scenic trail that connects the beaches, enjoying the natural beauty and peaceful surroundings.
