Last week, we were lucky enough to witness some serious racing yachts in the waters around St Kitts participating in the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s (RORC) Caribbean 600. One of the great 600nm ocean race challenges, along with the Rolex Fastnet Race and the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, the Caribbean 600 (running 22 February to 26 February this year) sees participating yachts circumnavigating 11 Caribbean islands, starting at ending in Fort Charlotte, English Harbour, Antigua, taking in places like St Maarten, Guadeloupe, Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis, Saba and St Barths. 

Since the first race in 2009, this event has attracted a wide selection of yachts including superyacht schooners and classics to the latest IRC designs. The winding island course requires crews to work with...

15 and 16 January saw Christophe Harbour play host to the first ever Caribbean CrewFest in partnership with ACREW Yachting. A resounding success, the event brought 10 yachts, including M/Y Naia, S/Y Perseus^3, M/Y Galaxy, S/Y Timoneer and M/Y Seawolf, into The Marina at Christophe Harbour, with 98 crewmembers taking part in five professional development workshops, networking and a fantastic crew party with Zoom Yachting.

Christophe Harbour has always been committed to supporting crew and...

The inaugural Pendennis St Kitts Rendezvous proved to be the perfect post-St Barths Bucket event for all involved, as The Marina at Christophe Harbour hosted seven boats for two days of relaxed fun in the new St Kitts superyacht marina.

Following the official opening of the Marina earlier this year, this event was the first of its kind to be held at Christophe Harbour. The parade of sail was a spectacular sight, especially for local residents, who have worked closely with the Christophe Harbour team to bolster the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis’s reputation as a new superyacht destination.

This weekend Christophe Harbour welcomed over 20 elite poker players to The Pavilion beach club for a two day, world-class event. The WPT Alpha8 event - an exclusive series of high-stakes poker tournaments held at the most prestigious gaming resorts around the world - was action packed as many of the game's top players made the trip to our beachside private club to play in the $100,000 buy-in tournament. The tournament consisted of a few friendly faces as two of our very own founding members, Bill Perkins and Greg Whalley participated in the event.
