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.

The Christophe Harbour Foundation is pleased to support a new vervet monkey research initiative led by biological anthropologist and primatologist Dr. Kerry M. Dore. Dore, now an instructor in the School of Science at Marist College and member of the Center for Conservation Medicine and Ecosystem Health at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, has extensive experience studying primates and has been researching vervet monkeys in St. Kitts since 2010. This summer, Dore brings her studies to the Southeast Peninsula. 

“Monkeys inhabit virtually all parts of St. Kitts and Nevis,” says Dore. “What is being done on the Southeast Peninsula is essentially a pilot study, the results of which can be used to determine what should be done...

Start with sugar, add salt, the sand and sea. From its shoreline vantage point on Whitehouse Bay, SALT Plage glows as the sun sets. Christophe Harbour’s newest seaside bar incorporates retooled remnants of historic sugar and salt industries in St. Kitts. The effect is scenery and elements that look familiar, but somehow feel new.

Open to the public, SALT Plage is already a draw for Christophe Harbour residents and guests, yachting visitors (dock tenders are welcome at the 1,450-square- foot pier), and locals from St. Kitts and Nevis. Throughout the twin islands and well beyond, there’s a buzz about this venue’s look and energy.

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...
