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.
