A Fantastic Bucket!
There couldn’t have been a more perfect staging area for Sunday night’s final prizegiving party than the tented grounds of the Hotel de la Collectivité, where Superyachts of the motor vessel kind lit up the docks as impressively as the sailing Superyachts left sitting quietly back at Bucket Headquarters across Gustavia’s Inner Harbor. The transfer of energy was by foot, car, and rib, and once there, hundreds of Bucketeers couldn’t wait for one last chance to socialize with old friends as well as new ones and take the stage, if they were fortunate enough, to receive awards for racing prowess and other significantly special accomplishments. Apart from the “smart casual” rather than formal attire, if there were an Oscars for Superyacht sailing, this could be it.

2025 Official Charities
The St Barths Bucket has proudly made many contributions to worthy St Barths causes over the years. A portion of the entry fee and proceeds from the sale of the popular Bucket posters go to local charities.
This year the donations will be made to two most worthwhile causes: The Foundation for Emergency Medical Equipment (FEMUR) and the Youth Sailing Program at the St Barths Yacht Club (SBYC).
Founded over 25 years ago by a group of French, American, and native St Barth residents, FEMUR raises money to purchase critically needed medical equipment that helps the local hospital meet the healthcare needs of the community and visitors.
SBYC is an active sailing school with the youth of St Barths a major focus. Every year, hundreds of children learn to respect each other and their environment. SBYC is not a conventional yacht club. Resources and budgets are far more limited than what one would expect to find in a typical yacht club.
Space Gallery St Barth is partnering with the Bucket Regatta for the eighth consecutive year. The limited-edition poster has become a collector’s item for visitors to the island and aficionados of the annual regatta. Only 200 are offered for sale. It is priced at 100 euros and can be purchased at the Space Contemporary Art Gallery, which is located on Carré D’Or between Hermès and Cartier.
