What an exciting time for Christophe Harbour! The marina is rapidly taking shape within the harbour, and Park Hyatt St. Kitts, Christophe Harbour's first ultra luxe hotel, is emerging at Banana Bay.  

Hotel construction is in full swing and on track for completion by late December 2015. To-date, 18 of the 26 buildings are now visibly under construction.

Several top Hyatt regional executives recently visited the hotel construction site at Christophe Harbour to review the progress being made and begin planning for hotel operations, which are scheduled to commence in early 2016.  

Keep up with hotel construction by visiting the photo gallery, updated bi-monthly.

After a challenging start to dredging operations, the right team is now in place and the timing is right, according to Darby. The pace of dredge work has quickened and excitement in sailing circles is growing. By the end of 2014, the first phase of the Marina will be open and the first superyachts will be able to cruise in — and that day will be a game changer for Christophe Harbour and for The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Here’s the timeline: by the end of 2014, deepening of...

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.
