Take a look at what to expect from this superb regatta during your visit to St. Barths this April.

Each year some of the most talented sailors and race enthusiasts return to the chic islands of St. Barth, calling Les Voiles a must-see event. The 12th edition of Les Voiles de Saint-Barth Richard Mille will welcome no fewer than 80 boats to the famous Route du Rhum. In a truly mesmerising display, guests can expect to see more than 1,000 sailors from around the world carve up the turquoise seas in Maxis, Spinnakers, Multihulls and Melges 24s. 

Showgoers can expect to watch 21 possible courses, all starting and ending along the beautiful Port of Gustavia. Some courses do a complete circumnavigation of Saint Barthélemy, while others sail around the neighbouring islands — allowing for great variety over the week. 

Concluding the races at the end of each day, guests can enjoy the live music in the Port of Gustavia’s race village and a few superb parties intermixed. There is also the much needed Lay Day in the middle of the regatta, perfect for unwinding at the famous Nikki Beach, where you can soak up the chic French lifestyle in the heart of the Caribbean.

Following the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Irma in the Antilles in September 2017, an outstanding level of local commitment has helped this prestigious event give back to the community. The Les Voiles de Saint Barth is more environmentally conscious than ever before, with a ‘zero plastic’ racing village that gives pride of place to local and responsible food and drinks options and promotes awareness to change attitudes towards sustainability among crew members.

The magnificent turquoise waters, the convivial atmosphere, and the undeniable French charm make Les Voiles de St. Barth Richard Mille a truly unique experience for all.
