Billionaires and their yachts land in St. Barts, along with Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan and Jake Paul

J eff Bezos, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Jordan and fellow billionaires, millionaires, stars and athletes have descended on St. Barts for the post-Christmas days leading up to New Year’s, spies tell us.

Also seen near the island this week were yachts allegedly carrying Mets owner Steve Cohen and media mogul David Geffen, while boxing champs Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, and reality wreck Scott Disick, have also been seen ­partying on land.

Spies saw Jordan’s ship off the island, which comes complete with a basketball hoop on the luxe deck. (If a guest shoots a brick, we’re guessing, the rock goes overboard?) Reports have said that Jordan’s boat, a 230-footer called Joy, can accommodate 19.

But the boat’s apparently worth a mere $80 million, whereas Geffen’s yacht, Rising Sun, is valued at $400 million .

Other boats allegedly in St. Barts this holiday season are captained by Mike Ovitz, Starwood mogul Barry Sternlicht, ­WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum, Brit hedgie Ross Turner, Tyson Foods boss John Tyson, blue blood John Adams Morgan, AirWatch founder Alan Dabbiere, Jimmy John’s sandwich tycoon James John Liautaud, Walmart heiress Ann Walton and Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula.

Tyson was seen at Nikki Beach, while Kourtney Kardashian’s baby-daddy Disick was holding court at local hot spot Isola.

He was also photographed on a beach date with a more recent ex, Chloe Bartoli.

Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, have been spotted around the island after celebrating her recent birthday.

YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul was seen at Guérite Beach Club.

And J.Lo was seen strolling in a bikini and belting out a tune on her iPhone.

We also hear that Bebe Rexha and Saweetie will be on the island to perform at a benefit gala tonight at the Eden Rock.

If it all seems too over-the-top, while you’re stuck at a playground trying to entertain your kids and wishing the holiday break would end, there’s a meme circulating with an aerial view of the island and the caption: “No one needs to see the view from the plane as you land in St. Barts.”

Four Seasons Unveils First Yacht Itineraries and Suite Interiors

Four Seasons loyalists have a lot to be excited about, with the launch of the brand’s first yacht nearing in 2026.

The 14-deck luxury vessel, which is partly being modeled off of Aristotle Onassis’ iconic yacht Christina O , will offer some of the most opulent amenities at sea. Initial renderings released in October 2023 show a 66-foot saltwater pool, a marina deck built for swimming and watersports, sophisticated dining concepts, and 95 guest suites. Now, the Four Seasons has released the first renderings showcasing the spacious suites on board—and we got a first look.

The ship's sleek design seeks to translate “the Four Seasons guest experience in terms of comfort level and the luxury standards" to life at sea, Fredrik Johannson, partner and executive director of Tillberg Design of Sweden and the lead designer on the Four Seasons Yacht, tells Condé Nast Traveler. Even the hotel group’s beloved mattresses will be offered in every room.

The first renderings of the Four Season Yacht's suites were released Tuesday, showcasing spacious guest rooms with ocean views.

Also just revealed: the first destinations the yacht will call upon throughout its inaugural year. Passengers can expect to visit a wide variety of exclusive and jet-setting locales, as the yacht is slated to visit more than 130 destinations across 30 countries in its first year alone. And of course, guests will have the option to book pre-and-post cruise extensions at iconic Four Seasons resorts along the way.

“We’re incredibly proud to announce the first itineraries aboard Four Seasons Yachts, and know that these experiences will exceed our guest expectations when we set sail in 2026,” says Alejandro Reynal, Four Seasons President and CEO.

Each voyage calls upon small ports that are typically considered “yacht playgrounds," Thatcher Brown, the Chief Commercial Officer at Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD and co-owner of Four Seasons Yachts, tells Traveler. Passengers can expect to sail between Caribbean and Mediterranean coastal havens almost exclusively visited by private vessels .

When the yacht launches in January 2026, it will first head to the Caribbean, where it will complete seven-night, island-hopping itineraries between St. Barths, Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao, and Aruba.

Then in March 2026, the ship will cross the Atlantic and begin sailing its Grand Mediterranean voyages , which include visits to alluring towns in Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey. Travelers can also expect to access “under-the-radar” Greek islands , like Ios and Milos, as well as more popular Grecian destinations like Athens and Santorini, according to a Four Seasons release.

Guests will have the option to adjoin suites to accommodate families or other groups traveling together.

Sure the destinations sound glamorous—but it might be difficult for passengers to depart the ship and leave behind the luxe accommodations on board. Specifically the guest suites—which will offer 50% more living space per guest than any other competitor currently at sea, according to the company’s release.

Each space will offer floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the sea, bathrooms with double vanities, and large closets. “Almost every single bed on this whole yacht is facing the sea,” Johannson says. “All the rooms there have this clarity to them. They are very exclusive, but they have a beautiful simplicity.”

Every suite will also offer private outdoor terraces. What’s more: guests will have the option to adjoin suites to accommodate families or other groups traveling together. There are more than 100 different adjoining configurations, including the option to reserve the entire side of a deck—an opportunity that would afford a group of travel companions more than 13,000 square feet of living space.

The Four Seasons Yacht will be divided between Funnel and Loft Suites, each with private outdoor terraces.

But the true showstopper on board is sure to be the Funnel Suite. Located on the very top deck where the funnel or smokestack would traditionally be, the Funnel Suite is essentially the ship’s penthouse, spanning four floors and 9,975 square feet. The massive space will feature three bedrooms and a terrace with outdoor dining space, splash pool, and outdoor showers. But the suite’s best amenity will be its views. The four-story, floor-to-ceiling windows have been fitted with the largest piece of contiguous curved glass at sea, offering sweeping 280-degree views of the ocean as the yacht sails from port to port.

Voyages on board the Four Seasons yacht haven’t yet opened for general booking, but interested travelers can join the yacht’s waitlist in hopes of securing one of the elegant suites on the 2026 itineraries.

Sailing Majesty: Highlights from the 2024 St. Barth’s Bucket Regatta

The 2024 edition of the St Barth’s Bucket Regatta is underway, and alongside the fleet of the most stunning sailing yachts in the world, the bay of St Barthelemy sees the presence of some of the most famous motor yachts ever built, gathered there to watch the race and participate in the super exclusive social scene.

MY Illusion , the world-known and celebrated 65m fast displacement Heesen motor yacht, stands out among the others. With a speed of around 30 knots, MY Illusion is indeed the perfect yacht aboard which to see and chase the regatta, being the only superyacht model capable of moving rapidly from the starting line to the buoys spread along the race field, reaching then the best spots to see the most exciting sailing manoeuvres and finally preceding the fleet to the finish line, winning a front-row seat to watch the race arrival!

Probably Heesen did not specifically envisage this sailing race-chasing prowess when developing the multi-awarded Fast Displacement Hull Form. I suspect that the driving factors leading to the massive investment in engineering, naval architecture, and design might have mostly been related to the aim of finding the best and most efficient hull form; to combine speed and fuel reduction (in the order of 30%, by the way), perfect seaworthiness, and overall increased performance; however, the fact is that these characteristics make Illusion the perfect yacht to own or charter these days in St. Barth’s.

What’s so special about the St. Barth’s Bucket? It is simply the single most stunning sailing superyacht regatta in the world. Firstly, it is the only regatta able to gather a 40-yacht fleet ranging from J-class to super large units such as the 88m The Maltese Falcon. Then it takes place in St Barth’s, the legendary isle in the French West Indies famous not only for its paradise-like Caribbean beaches but also and foremost for being the favourite destination of the uber-chic echelon of the international jet set.

The secret of the Bucket is indeed the unique ability to combine sporting fun at sea with the sparkling yet exclusive social life on land. At sea, this four-day, invitation-only regatta emphasizes spirited yet gentlemanly competition. There’s no prize money at stake, no advertisements, nor commercial sponsorships involved.

To guarantee fair scoring and racing, the participating boats are divided into categories based on how similarly they perform in the water. Each yacht is rated and handicapped by a team of race experts based on displacement, draft, sail area, and other characteristics. The Bucket is a pursuit race, e.g. smaller or slower yachts may start first, and the fastest are the latest to cut the starting line. The first yacht to cross the finish line in any category is the winner of the category, and the final score is attributed over the results of the 3 racing days.

The Race Committee does its best to convince the most competitive boat owners on the planet that having fun is more important than winning, but a race is a race, and the competition is fierce. This event brings together ‘la crème de la crème’ of worldwide sailing professionals and a good number of America’s Cup veterans and Olympic sailors race onboard alongside the regular crew.

But the action is not only at the race. Saint Barthelemy’s social scene and nightlife are legendary, and during the Bucket week, the glamour of the island reaches its peak. Villas and hotels are fully booked, and the waters around the island see an impressive array of motor yachts. This year the largest in attendance are the 138m Rising Sun and the 116m Multiverse anchored in the bay facing Gustavia.

Caribbean islands

The Caribbean is made up of two groups of islands, the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands. The Leeward Islands are located to the east of the Caribbean Sea and include the islands of Antigua, Barbuda, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, Montserrat, and Guadeloupe. St Barths is also one of the Leeward Islands. The Windward Islands are located to the west of the sea and include the islands of Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenada, and Trinidad & Tobago. No matter which group of islands you visit, a charter in the Caribbean is sure to be a memorable experience.

Ferry ride from St Martin to St Barts

The most popular way to experience St Barts by water is to fly into the nearby island of St. Maarten/St Martin at the Princess Juliana International Airport and then take the ferry to St Barth. Ferries to St. Barts depart multiple times per day from both the Dutch side of St Maarten (Philipsburg) and from the French side of St Martin in Marigot. The journey can take about 45 minutes to one hour, depending on whether you travel with Great Bay Express or Voyager.

Crewed yacht charter vs. bareboat charters in St Barts

There are two main types of yacht charters in St. Barts, crewed and bareboat. Crewed charters in St Barths include a captain and crew who will take care of everything on the yacht, from navigation to cooking to cleaning. Crewed luxury yachts are the perfect option for those who want to relax and enjoy their time on luxury yachts in St Barths. Bareboat charters do not include a captain or crew, and it is the responsibility of the charter party to navigate and take care of the yacht. This option is best for those with experience boating and who are comfortable taking on the responsibility of the yacht.

Best anchorages for luxury yachts in St Barts

There are many different anchorages in St. Barts, each with its own unique charm. One of the most popular anchorages is Gustavia Harbor, which is its main harbor located in the capital city of Gustavia. This St Barths harbor is known for its beautiful views and its convenient location, as it is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Other popular anchorages in St Barths include Anse de Grand Cul de Sac, which is known for its sheltered waters and excellent snorkeling; and Anse des Flamands, which is known for its dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters.

Best time to go on a St Barts yacht charter

The best time to enlist a St Barths yacht charter is during the winter months, from December to April. This is when the weather is at its best on this Caribbean island, with warm temperatures and little rainfall. However, it’s important to note that hurricane season runs from June to November, so it’s best to avoid chartering yachts in St Barths during this time. If you’re planning on a yacht charter in St Barths during the summer months, be sure to check the hurricane forecast and make sure that your chosen destination is not in the path of any storms.

What to pack for a St Barts yacht charter

When packing for a St Barths yacht charter, it’s important to pack light and comfortable clothing. The temperatures in this Caribbean island are warm year-round, so you won’t need to worry about packing any heavy or warm clothing. Be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. You’ll also want to pack swimwear and beach towels for days spent lounging on the deck or swimming in the ocean. And finally, don’t forget to pack your camera to capture all of the memories you’ll make on your charter yacht adventure.

Yachting events in St Barts

There are many different sailing events that take place in St. Barts each year. One of the most popular events is the Bucket Regatta , which is a five-day event that takes place in March. This regatta attracts some of the world’s best sailors and features a variety of racing classes.

Les Voiles de St Barth Richard Mille is also one of the most popular sailing regattas in St Barts, and it is a weeklong affair in mid-April.

However, these sailing events in Saint Barthélemy are not just for superyacht or yacht owners. Even if you are not participating in the races and don’t have a yacht of your own or a charter, the island makes for a fantastic experience whether you are watching the races from a great vantage point on its beaches or restaurants, or enjoying the lively nightlife.

Another excellent sailing event to witness on the island is the New Year’s Eve Regatta, which is a sight to behold for participants and onlookers alike.

St Barth's Bucket 2024

• Thursday, March 21, 2024 10:30 AM 10:30 Sunday, March 24, 2024 10:30 PM 22:30
• St Barth's Bucket Gustavia (map)
• Google Calendar ICS

Every year the world’s most spectacular superyachts gather in Gustavia’s harbor for the prestigious St. Barths Bucket.

This three-day invitational regatta features top-notch racing and exclusive shore side social events, all in a breathtaking Caribbean setting.

Over the years, many of the world’s most notable and accomplished sailors have participated in the racing. Nonetheless, as the Bucket Regatta has evolved, the organizers have kept a tight focus on maintaining the original camaraderie and non-commercial spirit of the event. It was, and still is, an event conceived and hosted purely for the pleasure and enjoyment of the sailing superyacht owner.

There is no other regatta of magnitude on the superyacht racing circuit with the same goals, and the event organizers consider themselves the stewards of a most worthwhile tradition.

2024 highlights include:

Unparalleled ORCsy class racing in the popular pursuit racing format will provide yacht owners with exciting, close competition against yachts with similar sailing characteristics.

The Corinthian Spirit Class racing, which featured 12 entries last year, will return to its roots and once again be a non-spinnaker competition.

Based on strong early interest, the 90-foot class is expected to make a return to St Barths. The Bucket Stewards will accept the first six entries (criteria to be posted with the NOR).

A 100-foot Racing Class will be offered for the first time. This will be for performance-oriented sloops over 100’ LOA and that do not fit the SYRA’s ‘ cruising superyacht’ criteria . Please contact the organizer for further details.

Dock space in Gustavia will be on a first come basis. In response to feedback from our entrants, there will not be a ‘Yacht Hop’ in 2024. However, there will be a fun-themed dockside party at the Capitainerie on Saturday evening.

The official Bucket social schedule will again be unrivaled, providing yacht owners and their guests with a unique, fun filled experience on the water and shoreside as well.

Building on 2023 and in the spirit of being inclusive, social (non-racing) entrants will again be welcome to the Bucket. Sailing or motor yachts wishing to participate in the Bucket as non-racing social entries are encouraged to request an invitation to the 2024 edition. A limited number of non-racing entry applications will be accepted. Details are posted (pdf) .

The first Bucket Regatta was organized in Nantucket, Massachusetts in August of 1986. At a birthday celebration organized by Nelson Doubleday, several yacht owners participated in a spirited discussion about optimal yacht design and individual sailing prowess. The following day, with only a night of preparation, seven sailing superyachts raced on a hastily prepared 15-mile course on Nantucket Sound. The stated prize of this impromptu competition was simply to attain undisputed superyacht sailing bragging rights for the year. They soon learned, however, that the pleasure and enjoyment of a camaraderie formed at sea between like-minded individuals was the greatest prize of all. As a result, a nearby spare bucket was deemed sufficient to commemorate the racing accomplishment and the Bucket Regatta was born.

For over 35 years since 1986, the world’s premier superyacht sailing vessels, owners, crew, and guests have reunited with the same intention.

Between 1986 and 2001, the Nantucket Bucket flourished. The summer event then shifted to Newport, Rhode Island where the event was well hosted at the Newport Shipyard from 2002 to 2014.

In 1995, the beautiful French island of St Barths hosted its first Bucket Regatta and it has done so in March every year since then. Although the size of the yachts and competing fleet has grown significantly, the spirit of the event has remained unchanged. In recent years, 40 or more superyachts have gathered to compete for the Bucket in glamorous St Barths.

24 sailing yachts competing in the 2023 St Barths Bucket

Anticipation is building for the 2023 St Barths Bucket as the island prepares to welcome the world's racing elite to the port of Gustavia for the highlight of the big boat racing calendar. An impressive lineup of over 20 newcomers and veteran participants are set to compete across three days from 16-19 March, each vying for the top prize...

Action is a regular on the regatta circuit, which comes as no surprise given her Dutch pedigree with Royal Huisman and Dykstra Naval Architects behind her build and design. Very few details are known about this 37.3-metre sailing yacht but her racing record speaks volumes. She won the 2022 Superyacht Challenge Antigua and the crew will have gotten in some decent practice at this year's edition in the week leading up to the St Barths Bucket. After coming fourth in her class last year, she will be back with a vengeance.

The 49.8-metre ketch-rigged Almyra II was delivered in 2000 by Perini Navi as the second in the shipyard's popular 50-metre series of sailing yachts. Her two masts stand 51- and 40 metres tall, respectively, and fly a total of 1,289 square metres of sail. Her steel hull provides exceptional stability with the benefit of Perini's unique “single-handed sails control” concept, first implemented by Fabio Perini.

The two-masted schooner Athos recently emerged from a full-scale refit at Huisfit with a 1.3-metre extension to her now 63.2-metre LOA. Work also included the addition of new booms, new sails, and carbon rigging to improve sail management and performance, all of which will be put to the test at the 2023 St Barths Bucket. The vessel was originally delivered by Holland Jachtbouw in 2010, based on a design by Hoek Design, and remains the shipyard's flagship build. She is easy to spot heeled over thanks to her green underside and red bootstripe.

The 27.6-metre Bequia was built in the US by Brooklin Boat Yard and delivered in 2009. Ketch rigged with over 1,000 square metres of sail, she was designed by Stephens Waring & White , who also completed the naval architecture and designed the interior. Just last year, Bequia was crowned the overall winner of Division Two at the Safe Harbor Race Weekend in Rhode Island.

The 43-metre sailing yacht Columbia was delivered in 2014 by Eastern Shipbuilding as a replica of the 1923 fishing schooner by the same name. The owner discovered the original line drawings of William Starling Burgess in a Massachusetts maritime museum and took the opportunity to fulfil a lifelong dream of bringing a piece of maritime history back to life. Her 930-square-metre rig and sail plan is a close copy of the original Columbia , except for the addition of hydraulic winches to ease handling. Her nine sails, including a 315-square-metre mainsail, are made of a synthetic material called Oceanus treated to look and behave like Egyptian cotton, and the lines are made of Dacron instead of manila. The new Columbia can reach 17 knots under sail.

New Zealand yard Fitzroy Yachts launched Gitana in 2009, after which the 45-metre sloop was nominated for Best Sailing Yacht in her size category at the 2010 World Superyacht Awards thanks to the design efforts of Dubois Naval Architects . She was delivered as Salperton IV to a serial sailing yacht owner, the fourth in the Salperton dynasty, and immediately made her debut on the big boat racing circuit. She has been racing ever since.

Delivered in 2013 by Baltic Yachts , the 33-metre Inukshuk won the coveted Sailing Yacht of the Year award at the 2014 World Superyacht Awards. Designed by German Frers , who also completed the naval architecture, this lightweight sloop offers fast and efficient sailing capabilities thanks to her telescopic keel, favourable power-to-weight ratio and carbon rig and rigging. 

One of two Swan 115 models, Nautor Swan specifically tailored the 2018 delivery JASI (formerly Odin ) with racing in mind. The hull shape, flush deck, sailing systems, mast and keel were all designed by the yard to provide a competitive edge in world-class regattas such as the Bucket. The 35-metre sailing yacht features the design talents of German Frers with added Code Zero cableless technology making sails lighter and easier to handle. JASI has previously competed in the 2022 Les Voiles de Saint Tropez Maxi Week. 

Kawil started life in America at the Derecktor Shipyard before graduating onto the superyacht regatta circuit. Designed by Sparkman & Stephens , the sailing yacht claimed victory at the New Zealand Millenium Cup regatta in 2020 and, after winning her class at the St Barths Bucket in 2022, is returning to defend her title at this year's competition. At 34-metres LOA, she is one of the smaller competitors in this year's lineup but should not be underestimated. 

Lot 99 was delivered in 2017 as the first of Nautor Swan 's Swan 95 range of 28.8-metre sailing yachts, built with a lightweight carbon fibre-foam sandwich hull. Both the design and naval architecture were completed by German Frers , with a lifting keel that reduces the yacht's draught from 5.5 metres to 3.3 metres and twin rudders for fingertip steering and manoeuvrability.

Italian shipyard Perini Navi introduced a number of innovations for its ninth 56-metre model that separate Melek from her sisterships. The yacht features an innovative foredeck with a built-in tender garage and an aerodynamic superstructure optimised for better navigation performance. Delivered in 2010, Melek continues to turn heads owing to her grey-chrome exterior by Ron Holland Design .

The 50-metre Meraki is the product of a Dutch power duo Vitters and Hoek Design and was commissioned by her owner especially for racing. The yacht was designed with a slight tumblehome to ensure an optimum heeling angle, as well as a reduced freeboard and low-profile deckhouses for exceptional visibility at the helm. She came second in her class at the 2022 St Barths Bucket, the first to be held since Meraki 's delivery in 2020, and is returning to cinch that number one spot.

Nakupenda is a 33-metre sloop built by Danish Yachts in Denmark and delivered in 2006. She was designed inside and out by Ted Fontaine and will be returning to the St Barths Bucket to beat her third-place title in her class in 2022.

Perseverance 1

This 40-metre sloop from Baltic Yachts , Perseverance I , combines traditional exterior lines with exceptional sailing performance. Designed by Dykstra Naval Architects , the yacht is equipped with state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion technology for lower energy consumption, which also contributed to her winning Sailing Yacht of the Year at the 2022 World Superyacht Awards. With her advanced carbon-fibre construction and oversized rig, Perseverance 1 can easily sail at full speed in as little as 10 knots of wind.

Alloy Yachts and Dubois Naval Architects joined forces to deliver a performance-oriented sailing yacht, the 52-metre Prana , in 2006. The custom sloop features a racing-style hull, as well as an optimised flybridge offering greater deck space and improved functionality. Prana also carries the largest set of sails from Doyle Sails in New Zealand, including an asymmetric gennaker measuring 2,227 square metres. 

The multi-award-winning ketch-rigged sailing yacht Q (formerly Mondango II ) was custom-built by Alloy Yachts in 2008, with additional refits in 2014 and 2016 to keep her in top racing condition. Q has become a familiar face on the regatta circuit, appearing at numerous competitions such as the 2017 Loro Piana Caribbean Regatta and the Superyacht Cup Palma in 2018.

Ranger is a 41.6-metre replica of an original J Class yacht created for the 1937 America’s Cup. Known as 'The Super J', the original  Ranger famously beat Endeavour II in the Cup and won all but two of the other 33 races in which she competed that year. The new Ranger was the first J Class yacht to be built since their heyday in the 1930s, with the design optimised by Dykstra Naval Architects. She features a steel hull – unlike subsequent modern Js – and was delivered by Danish Yachts in 2003 to an American owner.

Red Dragon is a 51.7-metre aluminium fast cruising sloop built by Alloy Yachts in 2008. She was designed by Dubois Naval Architects – who also completed the naval architecture – and fitted with a 62.5-metre high modulus carbon fibre main mast, rig and boom, as well as custom winches by Alloy Yachts. Sporting a new suite of Doyle ICE sails, she is ready to race.

A veteran of the regatta circuit, the 33-metre Sunleigh has competed in a number of races such as the 2017 and 2019 editions of the Candy Store Cup, where she appeared alongside the 37-metre Royal Huisman Action and the 42-metre J Class yacht Ranger . Sunleigh was delivered in 2002 by Dutch yard Jongert with an exterior design from Tony Castro and interiors by Giugiaro Design .

The 29-metre sailing yacht Symmetry was delivered by New Zealand yard Yachting Developments in 2004 and later refitted in 2014. Both her exterior and naval architecture were designed by German Frers with a composite hull and superstructure, while the interiors were styled in-house. Sailing operations are handled from the aft deck, separated from the social cockpit, with a twin helm.

Delivered in 2002, the Baltic 147 Visione continues to excel on the regatta circuit with victories at the Antigua Superyacht Cup in 2010 and the 2015 St Barths Bucket which she won overall. Her naval architecture and exterior design were both completed by Reichel-Pugh and her interiors come from a collaboration between R & J Design and Roland Kasslin & Jan Wikar . Will she be on for another win this year?

Whisper was built in the Netherlands by Holland Jachtbouw and delivered in 2003 to her owner, American racing royalty Hap Fauth, as his "forever boat". While his Maxi 72 Belle Mente tackles the high-performance regattas, Whisper offers the best of both worlds. The 35-metre sailing yacht was designed by Ted Fontaine and won her class at the St Barths Bucket in 2018. 

True to her name, the 33-metre WinWin is a seasoned racing champion from Baltic Yachts with wins at the 2016 Superyacht Cup, as well as a three-year streak of victories at the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Superyacht Cup Palma. A 7.9-metre beam at the transom and low displacement mean she is fast off the wind and in light airs and can be handled by a crew of four thanks to her design by Javier Jaudenes . In 12 to 13 knots true wind, she sits comfortably at 11.2 knots close-hauled; off the wind flying the smaller top-down furling kite in 26 knots of wind, she canters along at 18.5 knots. She has been designed to take a square-topped racing main and has a bolt-on bowsprit that will allow for more powerful kites.

The 48-metre Wisp from Royal Huisman is widely considered to be one of Andre Hoek ’s most beautiful designs and was awarded a World Superyacht Award in 2015 for Best Sailing Yacht above 45 metres. Wisp was recognised for her masterful blend of form and function, having landed a podium finish in that year’s Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta. At 100 degrees apparent wind, she can zip along at 12 knots, scooting to 14 knots in the puffs, while the hull handles the quartering swell with ease.
