A Winter in St. Barths

Location St. Barths
Aboard M/Y Miss Michelle

At 142-feet, MISS MICHELLE sits in a sweet spot of scale and informality, offering the volume and usability of a larger yacht, without the formality that can sometimes accompany that scale. Built by Christensen and refreshed in 2026, she provides the perfect platform for a relaxed, fun-filled charter in the Caribbean this winter. Deck life is where she comes into her own. The sundeck is expansive yet welcoming, set up for guests to move easily between dining, lounging, and socializing as the day evolves. At sea level, an oversized swim platform connects to an inflatable dock and jellyfish pool, creating a relaxed, self-contained waterside setup that works particularly well for families. A well-stocked array of water toys, from Jet Ski to paddleboards, adds another layer of adventure for guests of all ages. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests across five cabins, including a full-beam master with a private lounge
and generous storage, supported by flexible guest arrangements. Interiors are warm and contemporary, designed to feel lived-in rather than styled. An experienced crew of seven keeps things running smoothly for a seamless charter through the Caribbean.

JETTING THERE

Despite its exclusive feel, St. Barths is straightforward to access via Princess Juliana International Airport on neighboring Sint Maarten. From here, guests can either embark directly on their charter or take a short onward flight to St. Barths aboard specialized aircraft capable of landing on the island’s famously short runway at Gustaf III Airport. The transfer itself sets the tone — a low-altitude approach over the bay before touching down just moments from Gustavia. With seamless connections and minimal transfer time, you can be on board and settled in time for a first evening at anchor, or a berth-side arrival in the heart of the harbor.

Whether anchored offshore or berthed in Gustavia, the island remains a defining winter playground for the superyacht crowd. Pair a Leeward Islands cruise aboard MISS MICHELLE with time ashore for a quintessential winter escape in the Caribbean.

St. Barths

Island Chic
With a distinctly French flavor, St. Barths is unusually refined by Caribbean standards – an island where doing very little is done exceptionally well. Days drift easily between long lunches,
beach hopping, and the simple act of looking the part. There are seventeen beaches fringing the coastline, each with its own character. St. Jean draws a lively, well-heeled crowd, while Gouverneur and Saline offer quieter, more natural settings, and Anse des Flamands remains one of the island’s most picturesque stretches.

Cuisine is central to the St. Barths experience. Widely regarded as having some of the best chefs in the Caribbean, the island blends French technique with a lighter, warmer-climate sensibility. Beach clubs are effortlessly stylish, and evenings tend to unfold gradually, dinner slipping into cocktails, then into late nights in Gustavia. The harbor itself is duty-free, lined with boutiques including Hermès, Cartier, and Louis Vuitton. Beyond the social scene, St. Barths offers a more active side, from snorkeling with turtles at L’Orient Bay to surfing the Atlantic swell at Toiny, alongside epic scenic coastal hikes.
