The St Barths Bucket Regatta is the legendary annual Superyacht race, held over three days in Saint Barthélemy, in the Caribbean. 

From its inception, St. Barths Bucket Regatta has always been an invitation-only event, and one targeting sail boats classified as superyachts: that is, classic sailing boats exceeding 100 feet in length at the waterline. (The main overall length [LOA] cutoff is 30.5 meters. As we’ll explain, though, there is a category for shorter sailcraft.)

This St. Barts regatta has also always emphasized spirited yet gentlemanly competition. There’s no prize money at stake, no advertisements or sponsorships involved. The only honor regatta participants strive for is the chance to win the prized “Bucket Cup” itself.
