From March 17 to 20, the Christophe Harbour team will be heading to West Palm Beach for the 31st annual Palm Beach International Boat Show. With over US$ 1.2 billion-worth of yachts, superyachts and nautical accessories on display, plus luxury and superyacht exhibitors from all over the world, this is one if the top boat shows in the US.

The inaugural Pendennis St Kitts Rendezvous proved to be the perfect post-St Barths Bucket event for all involved, as The Marina at Christophe Harbour hosted seven boats for two days of relaxed fun in the new St Kitts superyacht marina.

Following the official opening of the Marina earlier this year, this event was the first of its kind to be held at Christophe Harbour. The parade of sail was a spectacular sight, especially for local residents, who have worked closely with the Christophe Harbour team to bolster the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis’s reputation as a new superyacht destination.
