We are pleased to announce the appointment of American Bridge Company as lead contractor for construction of the Christophe Harbour superyacht marina on the Eastern Caribbean island of St. Kitts.

“This marina will be the heartbeat of Christophe Harbour and unlike anything that exists in the region today, so it was imperative that we find a firm who could deliver a final product that met not only our internal expectations, but also those of the yachting industry,” said Charles Darby, Christophe Harbour Director of Development. “We are very pleased to have American Bridge leading this project and look forward to a very fruitful partnership.”

Beginning next month, American Bridge will commence construction on the first phase...

It’s a bird, It’s a Plane, It’s…… Amphibex.  We are all enjoying watching from the office windows as this excavator works its little heart out in the harbour. Not only does it operate in the water, it also has these super cool stabilizers and buckets that allow it to walk about on land too. Amphibex is making swift work of the remaining dredge area in the marina.

Despite its reputation as a lean, mean excavating machine, it's also quite gentle. The propeller can be raised if working in shallow waters to protect marine life and vegetation and also to avoid kicking up sediment on the seabed. 

And perhaps best...

Christophe Harbour is working its way through what we predict will be a very busy year. We have recently completed installation of a 240-foot long section of floating dock and superyacht moorings in the Christophe Harbour yacht basin. This interim facility can hold up to six superyachts within the protected inner harbour. Excavation at the marina continues, with current depths in the yacht basin at 18 feet or more and 15 feet at the mouth of the harbour. Once completed, the Superyacht Marina will be the focal point of Christophe Harbour. We just sold the last homesite in the initial release of property at Harbourside. Continued updates to follow—Did you really think we’d let you off the hook?

Thursday, March 25 - Prep Day: Andromeda La Dea, the 152' Perini Navi mega yacht is preparing for one of the premier sailing events of the year which takes place this weekend in St. Barths - the St Barths Bucket.

The Bucket brings together 40 world class sailing vessels for three days of racing and camaraderie. Early indications are that the crews and the weather are in top form. Representatives from Christophe Harbour are also on hand this weekend to spread the word about the next big thing in the Caribbean, Christophe Harbour, St. Kitts and its mega-yacht marina currently in development. With the sailing world always looking for the next safe harbor, we are thrilled about the possibilities of the Bucket.

The Prime Minister of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, Honorable Denzil Llewellyn Douglas and other distinguished members of the community were on hand to commemorate the announcement and express their support for the project.  The marina excavation project will be managed by St. Kitts Marine Works, which is owned and operated by Kittitian Regiwell Francis.  The $6 million project is expected to take between 14-16 months and provide numerous employment opportunities for other members of the St. Kitts National Association of Heavy Equipment Operators.

“The commencement of the marina marks a significant and positive step forward in the overall development of Christophe Harbour,” said LeGrand Elebash, chief operating officer, Christophe Harbour Development Company, Limited.  ...
