St. Barths Bucket 2024

Setting Sail for Glory: St. Barths Bucket 2024 Raises the Sails of Competition

The St. Barths Bucket Regatta is considered one of the world’s premier invitational sailing events. Set in beautiful St. Bartholomew in the Caribbean, the regatta takes place from the 21st to the 24th of March and welcomes not only participating sailing vessels but also non-participating sailing or motor yachts that wish to partake in the festivities. The regatta is an exciting mix of sailing vessels, including racing, contemporary, and leisure, offering a thrilling experience. 

The St. Barths Bucket eludes an ambiance of camaraderie and good-hearted fun that has been the key component for years. Enjoy three days of unique racing in Gustavia Harbor with races including sailing yachts larger than 100-feet (30.5m), sailing yachts that meet the 90-foot (27.4m) class criteria, and sailing yachts that meet the Corinthian Spirit (Les Voiles Blanche) class.

A vibrant social scene

While racing is undoubtedly a focal point, this regatta is about much more. It’s about fostering connections, enjoying the thrill of the race, and celebrating the love of the sea. 

During the St. Barths Bucket, expect thrilling race day action followed by vibrant after-parties and exclusive fundraising events all set amidst the grandeur of St. Barths, renowned as the Caribbean’s most exclusive superyacht destination.
