St. Barths Bucket Regatta
The St. Barths Bucket Regatta is one of the world’s premier sailing events for large sailing yachts, bringing together an exceptional fleet of superyachts for several days of racing in the waters surrounding Saint Barthélemy. Known simply as “The Bucket,” the event combines spirited competition with a relaxed, owner-friendly atmosphere.
First held in 1995, the regatta was created by a group of sailing enthusiasts who wanted to provide a fun and safe racing environment for large yachts that typically do not compete in traditional regattas. Today, the event attracts some of the most impressive sailing yachts in the world, with fleets divided into classes based on yacht size and performance.
The courses typically feature scenic coastal routes around the island and nearby waters, taking advantage of the steady Caribbean trade winds and clear blue seas. Organized with the support of the St. Barths Bucket Association and the St. Barths Yacht Club, the regatta also includes a lively program of dockside gatherings, social events, and prize givings that celebrate the international superyacht sailing community.
