Enjoy five-star comfort, personalized menus, and the freedom to hop between islands, all while creating unforgettable memories with loved ones.
St. Barth: Ring in the Christmas with Iconic Elegance
Glamorous and electric, St. Barth becomes the epicenter of winter festivities. Picture yourself anchored in Gustavia’s glittering harbor, yachts gleaming under twinkling lights, boutique-lined streets jazzed with energy. On your vessel, sip vintage champagne as fireworks explode above at midnight, their reflections dancing on tranquil waters.

Barbados: Sophistication by the Sea
In Barbados, festive elegance meets cultural warmth. Dock at Port St. Charles, where your yacht becomes the gateway to seasonal magic: street lights, Christmas markets, and melodies of traditional music pave your path ashore, or remain on board to host a private New Year’s soirée.
Highlights include:
Sandy Lane Hotel Gala: Champagne welcome, beachfront fine dining, live performances, and spectacular fireworks lighting up West Coast skies.
The Bahamas: Where Joy Meets Tradition
For vibrant and diverse celebrations, the Bahamas deliver an intoxicating mix of culture and luxury.
Choose between:

These vibrant street festivals echo Mardi Gras, weaving deep African-Caribbean tradition into your holiday revelry.
British Virgin Islands & Bequia: Island Spirit Unfiltered
Venture offshore to experience the raw, unfiltered vibrancy of local Caribbean life. In the British Virgin Islands, the spirit of Christmas and New Year’s centers around “Old Year’s Night” a legendary 48-hour celebration of boat-hopping, beach bars, fire dancers, and live music.

Refresh your spirit with Caribbean traditions rooted in culture and myth:
- Moko Jumbie stilt dancers in the USVI and BVI impersonate ancestral spirits, bless the crowds, and chase away negativity.
- Junkanoo in the Bahamas and Turks & Caicos is a rhythmic explosion of percussion, masks, and colorful processions that connect you with centuries-old heritage.
