High season's approaching...

It's been extremely dead around here in the Caribbean for a few months as I think I've mentioned before, but slowly but surely we are getting closer to the starting point of the high season. You can easily tell that by the number of superyachts arriving here from Europe and the US. We have only experienced a St Martin empty of larger boats until now but could definitely imagine all these marinas in Simpson Bay Lagoon to be jam packed with super and megayachts and we're pretty close to that now as I understand.

This yacht on the photo, MY Sherakhan, is only one of all the beauties that have entered the waters of St Martin these past few days and there is a lot more to come. Looking forward to their arrival for a change of view and to see what a high season in St Martin and St Barts looks like. We will be around on these two islands pretty much until beginning of next year. Maybe we'll also pay a visit to the annual Antigua Charter Yacht show in the beginning of December. That show is what marks the beginning of the Caribbean yachting season. When Monaco, Antibes, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Porto Cervo, Portofino, St Tropez and Newport have taken a break for the winter, this is when the boats move to our side of the world and the Caribbean yachting world begins to live and vibrate again.
