Description

Sail in a sleek catamaran along St. Barts’ leeward coast to the Bay of Colombier, a crescent-shaped body of water at the very northwestern tip of the island. Along the way, you will enjoy spectacular views of the gorgeous shoreline and Les Gros Islets. Once the catamaran anchors in the Colombier Bay, you will be free to swim in the crystal-clear sheltered waters. Colombier Beach has been known more familiarly as Rockefeller’s Beach since the 1960s, when David Rockefeller purchased much of the surrounding land and built an oceanfront villa here. The beach couldn’t be more delightful, as it is almost entirely undeveloped and ideal for relaxing and basking in the sun without a care in the world.
