A Sail Through
the Isles

A castaway utopia where daily concerns drift away on gentle trade winds, Bequia’s signature fusion of bohemian chic and Caribbean soul lures artists in quest of inspiration, sailors seeking pristine seas, and travelers drawn to undisturbed nature. In vibrant Port Elizabeth, mouthwatering lobster shacks share the scene with trending galleries and marine modelmaker shops. In remote coves, yachts bob in translucent water and iced rums bobble in sun-warmed hands. Up in the hills, villas melt into the landscape and sunsets showcase jaw-dropping archipelago views. There, time stands still along blissful strands as turtles gather, Mount Peggy stands guard over the heights. And all feels very right with the world.

Les Saintes, Beauty from Top to Bottom
Enchantingly remote, a clutch of gorgeous islets off of Guadeloupe form a bay revered as one of the three most beautiful on Earth. First christened as Los Santos, they're known as Les Saintes today, decidedly enchanting to explore. Terre-de-Haut is something of a mini-Rio with its ‘Sugarloaf’ rivaling Brazil’s for scenic drama, its charming streets ripe for rambling, and its commanding views from Fort Napoléon. It is a place to immerse in botanical beauty or slip into translucent waters for a snorkeling session par excellence. And across a small strait waits Terre-de-Bas, a magical haven for the eco-curious. While here, don’t miss tasting the islets’ famous tourments d’amour guava pastries, and donning a basket-topped Salako fisherman’s hat.

There are moments when the destination becomes secondary, and the voyage itself is all that matters. As the yacht glides across open waters, the rhythm of the sea invites you to slow down, embrace the horizon, and rediscover the timeless pleasure of simply being at sea.

St. Barth, A Jewel on the Azure Sea
Measuring a mere 10 kilometers long and four wide, Saint-Barthélemy could have remained a hidden pearl in the Caribbean. But when David Rockefeller built a retreat here in 1957, followed by JFK in the 1960s, this exquisite island quietly became a secret haven for the world’s elite. Arriving by sea, red-tiled roofs and lush palm-fringed hills frame Gustavia’s harbor, where yachts drift beside sailboats in serene harmony. The capital exudes the charm of Saint-Tropez, yet with a Caribbean twist. Whether you are leisurely browsing luxury boutiques and emerging designer stores, or strolling to the Place de la Rétrocession, in flip-flops or in heels, iconic St. Barth offers a blissful blend of effortless beauty, sun-drenched scenery, and unforgettable style.

Set like a jewel in the vibrant blue waters of the BVIs, Virgin Gorda is nature's quiet rebel: untamed yet refined, wild yet welcoming. At its heart lie the Baths, an otherworldly labyrinth where ancient granite boulders rise from the sea, forming tidal pools, grottoes, and sun-dappled chambers. Worn smooth by millennia, these sculptural stones create intimate sanctuaries where shadow meets light. Beyond, Virgin Gorda reveals pristine beaches, crystalline waters, and hillside views untouched by overdevelopment—an island where luxury is measured in space, privacy, and profound connection to something timeless.

Legend has it that in 1648, the French and the Dutch divided the island now known as Saint Martin and Sint Maarten, by scurrying off in opposite directions from a central point, claiming terrain as they walked. Spend a delightful day surveying the result as you explore Marigot, capital of the northern French half, brimming with colonial houses and bustling markets offering Creole charm and irresistible codfish fritters. Make your way up to the ruins of Fort Louis for majestic bay views and a peek at Anguilla out on the horizon. Further north, the tiny, traditional lolo restaurants of Grand Case dish out authentic fare and convivial spirit. While down on the Dutch side, casinos and duty-free bring a different kind of vibrancy to the island spirit, as do the white sands and lazy turquoise waves of Mullet Bay.
