Les Voiles de Saint-Barth Richard Mille
Les Voiles de Saint-Barth Richard Mille takes place Apr 2027 unconfirmed - the official website is no longer live and no future edition has been announced in Gustavia, Saint Barthelemy. The dress code is Chic resort wear; the Gustavia race village and evening events lean genuinely glamorous, and St Barth dresses harder than any other Caribbean island. Typical cost ranges from 2000 to 12000 EUR per person.
A Caribbean regatta launched in 2010 off Saint Barthelemy, mixing maxis, multihulls and classic yachts on around-the-island courses through steep Atlantic swell. Gustavia's small harbour and the island's clifftop viewpoints make it one of the most photogenic events on the circuit, and one of the most expensive to attend. Its current status is uncertain: the official domain is no longer live and no future edition has been confirmed.

- Official site
- The regatta's lesvoilesdesaintbarth.com address has lapsed and now serves an unrelated gambling site, so we have removed it. The organisers' remaining address, lesvoilesdestbarth.com, is currently behind a login and serves nothing public, so there is no page we can send you to.
How to attend
Treat this as unconfirmed and check with the Saint Barth tourist office or the Gustavia port authority before booking travel around it. If it runs, viewing is free from Gustavia harbour, Colombier, Corossol and the Shell Beach cliffs, and the race village in Gustavia is open to the public. Racing entry is by yacht registration with the organisers, and crew berths on entered boats are usually arranged privately. Flights via St Maarten and island accommodation have to be booked far ahead regardless.
The event's web address now redirects to an unrelated restaurant and no future edition has been announced, so there is nothing to book.
Insider tip
Fly the Winair or St Barth Executive hop from St Maarten rather than taking the ferry - the April trades make the sea crossing genuinely unpleasant, and the short Saint-Jean approach is worth seeing anyway.
