CAPTAIN JACO PIETERSE: Captain Jacobus Pieterse spent his childhood growing up grew up along the ocean and in the city in his native South Africa. He originally hails from Empangeni, which is a city in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, approximately 157 kilometers north of Durban, set in a hill countryside, overlooking a flat coastal plain and the major harbour town of Richards Bay which is 16 kilometers away, A very friendly, easy going and accessible person, everyone just calls him JACO (pronounced Yako). Besides swimming, Jaco excelled at rugby and boxing as a youth. His love of the water moved him on to a yachting career, he now has 30 years of experience on the water, from chartering, diving, and delivering yachts, both power and sail. Jaco is an easy to talk to person, who has a sense of adventure and relishes exploring new places. He spent a lot of time cruising the Indian Ocean, which he loves for its vast unspoiled areas. He arrived to Saint Maarten about 6 years ago and has been cruising the local waters there ever since. The area has become a home of sorts, and Jaco has designed interesting venues for all types of guests, depending on what they want to do, be it intensive watersports, horse back riding, touring, or just quiet pristine places to relax. He feels the service on board should tailor to the guest’s preferences. From a friendly casual atmosphere to a refined discreet silver service, Jaco will deliver what fits! His motto is “Be honest and real to yourself and others”. His straightforward enthusiasm and attention to details ensures an excellent charter on board Yacht Eclipse! CHEF - Alison Williams - profile to follow shortly CHIEF MATE - MARCO DE VILLIERS: Marco is from Welkom, South Africa. He and his 2 brothers spent time on the farm and in the city growing up. As a child Marco pursued soccer and motor cross, and enjoyed a lot of fishing. In 2018 Marco decided it was time to see more of the world, and he followed his curiosity and love of the ocean to begin sailing. He decided he really liked yachts and watersports and has been working aboard various vessels ever since. His travels introduced him to one of his favorite locations, The Bahamas. There he was able to hone his yacht and water based skills and learn more of the beautiful underwater world. Besides his love of the ocean, Marco is a musician and DJ, Besides being there to assist in watersports and adventure, he will see that the music and fun is just right for guests aboard. He is a friendly, hardworking, and helpful part of the Eclipse crew! His motto is the “Life is amazing and is what it should be!” CHIEF STEWARDESS - MERUGIA VELDKAMP: Marugia is from The Netherlands. An adventurous soul, she spent time in Australia acquiring skills that have been a great aid to her job on board Eclipse. She has been waitress, hostess, barista, and bartender and also worked as a housekeeper and a social counselor. Some of her favorite activities are water sports, singing and Salsa dancing! But, do not let that sweet demeanor fool you, as this athletic young lady is also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do! Marugia started working on Eclipse as the second stewardess, but her job performance and dedication now have her in the position of Chief Stewardess. She always looks forward to hosting and serving the guests aboard! 2ND STEWARDESS - STEPHANIE Eclipse normally charters with 6 crew, which includes the tender Captain, and all 6 crew sleep in 3 crew cabins. For charters with smaller groups of 5 or less, there will be 5 crew as the second stewardess will not be required.

We had a GREAT time!!! Excellent!! God willing we will be back soon! Thank you very much for organizing everything. The excellent boat and the crew 1000 points Very professional, attentive, cordial and very helpful without being annoying Impeccable!!!

5-12 Feb, 2023 in Antigua

From Broker – Sarah Thanks for giving them a great charter - they all had a wonderful time and loved you and the crew Clients - Home safe & sound... Captain Jaco & his crew were terrific...we all had a fabulous time..rough seas but we made it to calm inlets. Heather We had a great time and wouldn’t have missed it for the world! It was spotlessly clean and again I can’t stress enough how great the crew were. Trevor

19-26 November – Thanksgiving 2022

By the way, my clients are on her right now having an incredible time! From my client: Brilliant!! The ship and the crew are superb. Just moored up in St Barts right now. Could not be more pleased Thanks, Louis

30 July – 7th August 2022

Note from Debra- broker: As you probably know, they didn’t spend much time aboard, as that was the arrangement. However, Mr. G’s PA advised me they were very happy with all the assistance Captain Jaco and his team gave them with land support, tender transfers, handling water toys, etc. I think they would consider chartering ECLIPSE again when they return to St. Barths. Hopefully next time, the seas cooperate more to allow them to use the yacht for transfers and some day trips around the islands.

30th March to 6th April, 2022 - SXM

Jaco, I speak from my whole crew when I say we are going to talk about this trip for a long time and we thank you and your whole team for this amazing experience. Thought we’d send you our group pic! Have a great week and don´t be surprised when you see our crazy selves again! Tanika

5-12 February, 2022 in SXM

5 Star!! The yacht was absolutely comfortable and clean. A beautiful boat that met all our expectations. The yacht was well ventilated. All 6 of the crew friendly and accommodating. The food was good and well presented. The yacht was spacious and beautiful. The crew made the trip. Attentive at all times. Courteous etc. All good. We loved the areas we chartered in. St. Barths is ok, but St. Martin is beautiful! Andrew

5-12 February 2022

Thank you so much Jaco for leading this team of such an excellent crew! My client’s expectations were high and all of you more than met them! I certainly hope to meet you some day in person and of course to work with you again. Thank you Jaco and Marilyn for all your help before the charter getting the last minute charter going! Warm Regards, Ellen

4-11 December 2021

Note from Broker - Jessica: I received a quick update from both the client and Captain Jaco. The clients said they were having a good time and Jaco said they were behaving themselves as well!! Thank you!

11-18 July 2021

Broker review: I have been informed that the charter on Eclipse went VERY well! The family was extremely happy with everything!

25 Jan - 2nd Feb 2021 - St. Barth

I just wanted to send this note of thanks on behalf of Allison and myself to the whole Eclipse Team. Our trip with you and your crew in St. Barth was completely amazing, including wonderful service from a crew who was very engaged and super-fun to be around. I certainly hope we are able to do this again at some point. This was our first trip to St. Barth and we really appreciate all you and the crew did to make it special, and hilariously FUN! Walker and Allison

10 day charter in January 2021 in St Barths

Thank you Captain Willem, Chef Yvonne, and the rest of the wonderful crew on M/Y Eclipse! Your hard work and focus on detail, along with your warm and caring spirits helped make our vacation to St Barths and St Martin special and magical! We can’t wait to return! We have had many vacations on boats in the Caribbean, and this was by far the best! The food was fantastic - and perfect according to our several dietary restrictions - varied, tasty, interesting! There was always a helping hand, and you ensured we could do everything that we asked to do! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Mike and Kristen

Note from Broker: I think they will book again because the clients say they are excellent. these clients have been on 20 trips with me or so, on some really nice boats, and this was their favorite, so good for the crew :)

Ready to Start Your St Barts Yacht Charter Vacation?

Inquire with one of our expert charter brokers so they can send you a list of St Barts yacht charter options that have been selected specifically to match your personal preferences.

What Type of Yacht Are You Looking For?

Where is St. Barts?

St. Barts, officially known as Saint Barthélemy , is a small French Caribbean island located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. It’s part of the Leeward Islands in the West Indies, situated about 22 miles southeast of St. Martin and around 125 miles north of Antigua.

The currency is Euros , and the official language is French , but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas.

How Do I Get to St. Barts?

• By Air: The main way to get to St. Barts is via a connecting flight from nearby islands like St. Martin, Puerto Rico, or Antigua. St. Barts has a small airport (Gustaf III Airport) known for its short runway, so flights are typically on smaller planes.
• By Sea: Alternatively, you can reach St. Barts by ferry or private boat from St. Martin, which is a 45-minute ferry ride or a short sail away.

Want Help with Finding Your Perfect Charter Yacht in St Barts?

It is completely free to inquire with our brokers. If you tell them what you are looking for, they will send you a list of available yachts that match your requirements. This is a great place to start!

When is the Best Time to Charter a Yacht in St Barts?

• High Season (December to April): This is the peak season when the weather is ideal, but it’s also when prices are highest and anchorages are busiest. The holiday season is particularly popular.
• Shoulder Season (May to June, November): Offers great weather, fewer crowds, and slightly lower prices. It’s a good balance of value and experience.
• Avoiding Hurricane Season (July to October): This period is generally avoided due to the higher risk of hurricanes, though prices are lower and the island is quieter.

Charter Destinations: Where Can I Go From St Barts?

💡 St. Barts is a small island, just 9.7 square miles (25 sq km) , with a coastline of 22 miles (35 km) . In nautical terms, it’s about 8 nautical miles (nm) from west to east. You can sail around the island in a day, but taking a few days allows you to explore its beaches, bays, and charming towns fully.

Therefore, the most common St. Barts yacht charter itinerary includes visits to surrounding Leeward islands such as St. Martin and Anguilla, which are located only about 15 nautical miles to the Northwest.

Best Locations on St Barts Island

Gustava harbour.

The island’s capital and main port, Gustavia, is where you will start your St. Barts yacht charter. It is known for its vibrant atmosphere, luxury boutiques, historic sites, and excellent dining options. If you are looking for a great restaurant or nightclub, check out the French/South American fusion restaurant Bonito, serving local dishes like ceviche and roasted sea bass, and the upscale Italian restaurant L’Isola , a really romantic spot offering gourmet dishes like homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and an extensive wine list.

Also, do not miss out on the iconic Le Select, a casual, laid-back bar located right on the waterfront in the port. It is perfect for grabbing a drink and soaking in the local vibe. (Known as the inspiration for Jimmy Buffett’s “Cheeseburger in Paradise” )

Shell Beach

Not to be missed is Shell Beach , located on the edge of Gustavia town, only a 5-minute walk from the port. Shell Beach is unique for its shoreline covered in millions of tiny seashells. This scenic spot is perfect for a sunset swim, followed by cocktails at the iconic Shellona Beach Club  or the Do Brazil Night Club (Bar de l’oubli), an excellent place to see the sun go down while sipping.

Colombier Bay

This stunning horseshoe bay, located just 2.5 nautical miles from Gustavia, accessible only by boat or difficult hike, is a great place for snorkeling or diving and laid-back time on the beach.

St. Jean Bay

Known for its scenic beauty, St. Jean Bay is popular for watersports and beachside dining. Anchoring here gives you access to the famous Eden Rock Hotel and Nikki Beach.

Île Fourchue

A short sail from St. Barts, this uninhabited island offers some of the best snorkeling and diving in the area. The bay is well-sheltered, making it a great spot for an overnight anchorage.

Anse de Grande Saline

One of St. Barts’s most beautiful beaches, Grande Saline, is known for its wide stretch of sand and clear waters. It’s a more tranquil spot, perfect for sunbathing or swimming without the crowds.

Nearby Islands

From St. Barts, you can easily sail to St. Martin, Anguilla, and Saba on a 1-week charter itinerary. Each offers its own unique charm—St. Martin for shopping and nightlife, Anguilla for pristine beaches, and Saba for rugged hiking.

Longer Voyages

If you have more time or a faster yacht, you can also plan a longer charter to islands like Antigua or St. Kitts and Nevis, which are a bit further but accessible within a day’s sail.

What Type of Yacht is Best for St. Barts?

Crewed motor yachts.

• Pros: Ideal for those seeking luxury, speed, and comfort. Motor yachts allow for quick travel between islands and come with all the high-end amenities. They are ideal for longer itineraries, especially for those who wish to reach places like Antigua and Nevis.
• Cons: Motor yachts are generally subject to higher APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) due to their higher fuel consumption. –Generally between 35-40%.

Crewed Catamarans

• Pros: Catamarans offer the best of both worlds with stability, space, and ease of handling. They’re ideal for families or groups looking for a comfortable and spacious charter. Their fuel consumption is significantly lower than motor yachts, especially if you use sails and wind. This has a significant impact on your overall charter cost.
• Cons: Catamarans are slower than motor yachts. Consider this when planning your itinerary–if you wish to travel far and wide, you should add more time so you do not feel rushed.

Crewed Sailing Yachts

• Pros: Perfect for an authentic sailing experience with a focus on the journey rather than just the destination. St. Barts’ steady trade winds make sailing here a joy. Sailing yachts are still the most affordable option, and you can save significantly on reduced fuel consumption.
• Cons: Sailing yachts have limited onboard space compared to catamarans and motor yachts. Some people do not like the healing (the yacht leaning over when under sail).

What Does It Cost to Charter a Yacht in St. Barts?

• Base Charter: The cost can vary widely depending on the yacht type, size, and season. Generally, prices range from $10,000 to $60,000+ per week for a crewed yacht. Sailing yachts are the cheapest option, starting at around $10,000, and luxury motor yachts are the most expensive, starting at around $30,000 for a decent boat.
• Additional Costs: Don’t forget to budget for fuel, food, drinks, mooring fees, and gratuities, which can add 20-30% to the base charter cost . This fee is in yacht charters known as APA ( Advance Provisioning Allowance ) and is added on top of the base charter fee. It allows for a more customized yacht charter, where you pay for what you use rather than being limited to what has been decided to be included.

Best Activities on a St. Barts Yacht Charter

• Snorkeling and Diving: The clear waters around St. Barts are excellent for snorkeling and diving. Spots like Colombier Beach and Île Fourchue are renowned for vibrant coral reefs and marine life.

By David Lazarevic   26 December 2019

As St Barts prepares to host the most spectacular New Year's Eve festivities in the Caribbean , celebrities and superyachts are starting to arrive on the scene in Gustavia. 

Every year, St Barts pulls out all the stops for its annual New Year's Eve festivities. Fireworks light up the sky, yacht parties set the waters aglow and the sound of music and bottles of Dom Perignon being popped can be heard across the island. 

This year promises an equally buoyant atmosphere, with a fleet of luxury charter yachts and a convoy of privately-owned vessels setting course for St Barts . While several have bagged coveted berths in Gustavia marina, there are also plenty of yachts out at anchor which will still be right in the heart of the action. 

With the celebration now only a few days away, YachtCharterFleet takes a look at some of the impressive superyachts preparing to bring in 2020 with a bang.

The Billionaire's Yachts in St Barts for New Year's Eve

Many of the yachts owned by the world's billionaires are in St. Barts to welcome in the new decade. The 163m/ 533ft megayacht ECLIPSE is preparing to host her legendary New Year's Eve party, a yearly tradition which invariably enjoys an A-list guest list.

Off the coast, there are plenty of other superyachts which regularly attend the St Barts New Year's Eve celebrations, including Lurssen’s 138m/ 452ft private yacht ‘Rising Sun'  and the 113m/370ft expedition yacht 'Le Grand Bleu' .

Alongside them, 110m/360ft motor yacht ANNA can also be spotted showing off her Feadship pedigree and iconic exteriors from the drawing boards of Michael Leach.

Almost 150 superyachts, yachts over 78ft, have arrived in St Barts to celebrate New Year's Eve so far, the lucky few are berthed in Gustavia harbour whilst the majority are anchored offshore. The total length of the fleet which has amassed off this tiny Caribbean island is currently over 8.4km/ 5.2 miles.

The size of yachts present is also very impressive as 15 of the TOP 100 Superyachts in the World are currently in St Barts, this includes 6 yachts which are over 100m/ 330ft in length.  

Surprisingly the fleet of yachts is also relatively young, with an average age of under 10 years. The majority are  motor yachts and only 10% are sailing yachts.

St Barts' New Year's Eve boasts the largest non-boat-show gathering of superyachts this year, coming second only to the Monaco Yacht Show in terms of sheer numbers.  Over 60% of all yachts in St Barts are part of the Charter Fleet, so if you would like to join the SuperyachtSet next year to celebrate NYE in style contact your charter broker to book now .

The 46m/ 150ft motor yacht ATTITUDE and the 45m/ 147ft crewed yacht HARLE   are other charter yachts berthed at the Harbour, soaking up the festive atmosphere in preparation for the colossal party that awaits. 

With a unique duplex sundeck that can be converted into a night club and abundant exterior space, guests onboard the 72m/ 234ft superyacht UTOPIA are guaranteed all the necessary facilities to party until the early hours in the morning. 

Other charter yachts in the vicinity include the 56m/ 184ft motor yacht GALAXY , the 63m/ 207ft superyacht ‘Lady Britt’ , and the 93m/ 305ft charter yacht ‘Lady S’ who are all currently cruising the Caribbean.

Regions [ edit ]

Cities [ edit ].

• Astrakhan — the capital and the region's biggest city by far
• Znamensk — location of a major Russian missle test site, Kapustin Yar Cosmodrome (spaceport), and frequent UFO sightings, leading the town to be known as Russia's Roswell; Znamensk is currently a closed town due to its military significance

Other destinations [ edit ]

• Astrakhansky Nature Reserve — located along the giant Volga River Delta, this reserve is a bird-lover's paradise

Understand [ edit ]

Astrakhan Oblast is a region steeped in the history of Central Asia. Before the arrival of Russian power, this area was at times ruled by the Jewish Khazar Khaganate, the Golden Horde, and the Astrakhan Khanate (centered on the present day city). In 1556 Ivan the Terrible conquered the region and annexed most of its territory at a time when Russian-allied Kalmyks were attacking and displacing the Muslim Tatars of the region. In 1580, having seen off Ottoman challenges to Russian rule, Russia constructed Astrakhan's magnificent Kremlin, which is a mix of traditional Russian and Baroque styles. Astrakhan's nature as a pivotal region for Central Asia continued when Peter the Great established a major shipbuilding yard on the Caspian Sea and established the region as the base for Russian expansion into the great Khanates of Khiva, Samarkand, and Bukhara, located in present day Kazakhstan , Turkmenistan , and Uzbekistan .

Today Astrakhan Oblast is a relatively sleepy, sparsely populated region near the confluence of the Volga River and the Caspian Sea, notable for its large gas reserves. The region retains sizeable Kazakh and Tatar minorities.

Talk [ edit ]

Despite its multicultural past, nearly everyone in Astrakhan Oblast speaks Russian as a first language.

The natural companion to an Astrakhan visit is its western neighbor Kalmykia . Probably the most convenient way to get there is to take a minibus (marshrutka) from Astrakhan to Elista .

It is also possible to relive your dreams of Russian conquest of Central Asia by taking the train west from Astrakhan to Atyrau , Kazakhstan .

A 48 Hour Guide to Astrakhan, Russia

Travellers who venture into Astrakhan will enjoy the historical charm and cultural vibrancy of this old Silk Route town. The otherworldly Lake Baskunchak and extensive Delta wetlands are just a day trip away.

Astrakhan lies close to the Kazakhstan border where the Volga River flows into the Caspian Sea. It used to be a town on the old Silk Route and is built on more than 10 islands. Meander along canals and over bridges to soak up ancient Tatar, Christian and Islamic history. Venture into the surrounding countryside to enjoy the splendour of the Volga Delta wetlands and the region’s natural beauty.

Day one – Acquaint yourself with the city

Morning – Explore local history

Start the day by taking a walk through the Kryusha Quarter. It’s the city’s former Tatar and Persian area, and it remains a predominantly Muslim area. As such, there are clusters of mosques in various states of neglect and repair.

Starting at Ulitsa Kirova, walk along Kazanskaya Ulitsa until you reach a Lenin bust. If you cross over the canal, you’ll come across a well-kept park, complete with sculptures and a lake. Continue past it, and you’ll end up at the foot of the hill where the city’s Kremlin sits on top. A UNESCO World Heritage site with inviting gardens and temporary exhibitions, the Kremlin is not to be missed.

Pro tip: The Kryusha Quarter is fascinating to walk through, but it is still a little rough. It is fine to walk through during the day, but it is best to avoid it at night.

Afternoon – Discover Astrakhan’s cool hidey-holes

Once you’re finished at the Kremlin, cut through the Fraternal Gardens to the city’s hipster hangout, Rozmarin Cafe , and fill up on freshly cooked meals and refuel with strong coffee. Once revived, take a peek at the Museum of Military Glory, which is as patriotic as the name suggests. However, despite the museum’s nationalistic slant, it is a good place to learn about historical battles.

Afterwards, it is worth walking over to Moloko, a hip, modern canteen-style café, which is run by the same people as Rozmarin Cafe. Even if you’re still full from lunch, they are licensed. So, why not have a cheeky afternoon drink and a snack?

From Moloko , it’s another lazy stroll along the banks of the Kutum River to the banks of the Volga – the manicured riverfront is the city’s crowning glory. There are people to watch, sculptures to see, and sunsets to enjoy.

Evening – Enjoy riverside views

After all of that walking about, treat yourself to a delicious meal. Right on the waterfront, Yamato is an indulgent, top-notch Japanese restaurant. The menu offers Japanese dishes, sushi, pan-Asian and Asian-fusion meals, as well as a lot of classic European and Russian cuisine. And it’s not just the food that is good here – so is the decor, inspired by Japanese minimalism and traditional aesthetics.

Pro tip: Yamato is popular. Book a reservation or be prepared to wait for a little while.

Night – Embrace the local culture

For those who want to sample some high-brow culture, why not check out what ballet is showing? The Astrakhan State Theatre of Opera and Ballet may not have the same clout as other regional theatres, but like most ballet and opera in Russia, they are still done to an outstanding standard.

For those who want to kick on, take the short stroll over to Kul’tovyy Bar (Cult Bar) for dim lighting, live music and boozy drinks. It also serves reasonably priced food. After loading up on positive vibes, belt out a few tunes with new friends at any of the many karaoke bars in town, such as Chicago House.

Whatever time the night ends, rest your well-worn legs at the luxurious Novomoskovskaya Hotel , a 10-minute walk away from Kul’tovyy Bar. Sleeping options are limited in Astrakhan, but they are also affordable, which means this five-star hotel comes with a bargain price tag. It’s also right in the heart of the city, so the Kremlin and the central sights are all within walking distance.

Day two – Soak up the Astrakhan region’s beauty

Morning – Venture out to the great outdoors

Although the city still has plenty to offer, a trip to the surrounding countryside is a must. Around Astrakhan , the Volga River splinters off into thousands of streams and rivers, known as the Volga Delta Wetlands. The wetlands, filled with birds and animals, are lush and an adventure to explore.

Roads eventually peter out and make way for rivers and marshes. The further you explore the wetlands, the more likely you’ll need a boat. A trip into the wetlands is a day trip in itself, so don’t plan to cram too many countryside sights into your itinerary.

Pro tip: Many tour companies offer trips into the wetlands, so shop around to find a deal that you like. Parts of the area are protected, so tourists need a permit. Tourist agencies in Astrakhan can help you organise these. Procosta is a tour company that offers trips into the delta with a guide, and only Procosta tours can be taken without one of these permits.

Afternoon – Float in salty water

An alternative day trip is to Lake Baskunchak, near the Kazakhstan border. One of Russia’s major salt basins, it supplies the nation with approximately 80 percent of its salt. Back in the day, people used to flock here to reap the health benefits of the salty water and the clay, and legend has it that it is a place of healing. Despite, or because of, its otherworldly appearance and its far-flung locale, it remains a popular tourist destination, albeit an unusual one.

A swim in the lake is comparable to a dip in the Dead Sea , although many swimmers bring shoes because prickly salt covers the bottom of the lake-bed. The lake used to be an important stop on the Silk Route, as its seemingly endless supply of salt has long been a precious commodity.

Pro tip: Make sure you pack a picnic, plenty of fresh water and sunscreen because there aren’t any trees around the lake.

Evening – Feast on traditional dishes

All that country air will induce hunger that must be satiated. So, head straight to Mindal (which translates to Almond) to feast on steaming hot Georgian khachapuri and Uzbek pilaf and other drool-inducing dishes. A top restaurant in town, Mindal serves up hearty central Asian and Caucasian dishes in a casual, yet stylish setting – a perfect treat to end a long day spent on the road and in the great outdoors.

Night – Relax with a beer

Mindal has a licensed bar that also serves up hookahs, so if you are suffering from a post-pigout food coma, and are exhausted from the day, hang around and enjoy yourself for a little bit longer. But if you want a change of scenery, visit Akademiya Piva, (Beer Academy). This restaurant and brewery is not only a stumble away from the hotel, but it is an opportunity to try a local brew or two. Of their five house-made beers, one is brewed in the style of the iconic Soviet beer, Zhigulevskoye.

Pro tip: If you want to relax after dinner at Mindal, book a booth table and make yourself comfortable. Also, for those on a budget, Akademiya Piva serves pub grub at a reasonable price.
