“There’s a reason we call it Christophe Harbour,” says yachtsman Buddy Darby, Christophe Harbour owner and CEO. And that long-dreamed-about harbour is now becoming reality. After a challenging start to dredging operations, the right team is now in place and the timing is right, according to Darby. The pace of dredge work has quickened and excitement in sailing circles is growing. By the end of 2014, the first phase of the Marina will be open and the first superyachts will be able to cruise in — and that day will be a game changer for Christophe Harbour and for The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Here’s the timeline: by the end of 2014, deepening of...

Just a few short weeks after the groundbreaking ceremony that officially launched construction, the Christophe Harbour marina is taking shape right before our eyes! 

The Christophe Harbour team along with American Bridge and Devcon are making swift progress with the goal of delivering the first megadock at the end of this year. 

Since the construction team arrived onsite, we've dredged 115,000 cubic yards of dirt from the pond, which is being used to form the land for the lower golf holes along the perimeter of the harbour. 50% of the sheetpiling has been installed along the shoreline, and the piling for the main walkway has been driven. They'll be starting the north fingers of the pier next....

All around the peninsula, you can see the difference. Locals and longtime visitors can sense a change in the tradewinds.

Christophe Harbour is rapidly taking shape on St. Kitts, particularly noticeable in the past year since the Sugar Industry Diversity Foundation (SIDF) and the Darby Family Investment Group established their partnership.

Speedier, soulful progress can be seen at every curve, hillside and beach. SALT Plage is now open on Whitehouse Bay serving cool drinks and ceviche by the sea—the bar’s open-air design incorporates local artifacts from the island’s historic sugar and salt industries.

Dredging work and the first phase of the Marina is now proceeding on schedule, and is expected...

What an exciting day for Christophe Harbour as the first pile for the new superyacht marina has been driven, and construction is officially underway.  An official groundbreaking ceremony is planned for the 20th of June with government officials and local digintaries to celebrate the launch of this much-anticipated marina project.

American Bridge Company is the main contractor working in association with Devcon Ltd. Both firms have been onsite for more than a month prepping the site for active construction and final excavation. The first phase of the marina , which includes the first 24 berths up to 65 meters, is expected to be complete by the end of this year. We look forward to welcoming vessels to our marina in...

We are pleased to announce the appointment of American Bridge Company as lead contractor for construction of the Christophe Harbour superyacht marina on the Eastern Caribbean island of St. Kitts.

“This marina will be the heartbeat of Christophe Harbour and unlike anything that exists in the region today, so it was imperative that we find a firm who could deliver a final product that met not only our internal expectations, but also those of the yachting industry,” said Charles Darby, Christophe Harbour Director of Development. “We are very pleased to have American Bridge leading this project and look forward to a very fruitful partnership.”

Beginning next month, American Bridge will commence construction on the first phase...
