When it comes to Caribbean superyacht hot spots, it's pretty hard to compete with the understated allure and stunning natural beauty of the diminutive island of St Barths.

In fact, the small French-Caribbean-village-charm of Gustavia, the island's main harbor, is one of the many reasons the superyacht set flock there every winter. Especially during the Christmas and New Years holidays.

And that means that even the most wealthy yacht owners and guests need a boat ride in to town from their yacht. Needless to say, it's much easier to step on land from a yacht tied up in the harbor than it is to motor in through the wind and waves on a motor launch.
