This year’s St Barths Bucket Regatta may’ve seen a decrease in numbers but there was no change to the warm welcome, bustling atmosphere and congeniality of both the island and the event.

Friday’s Superyacht fleet started their 14-square-mile distance race around the island of Saint-Berthélemy under sunshine and 13-15 knot breezes.

Just a few months earlier, the island of Saint-Berthélemy was devestated by hurricanes Irma and Maria, but the traditional St. Barths Bucket as a meaningful part of the island’s life is back again.

The Superyacht Cup is now the longest running superyacht regatta in Europe and last week, a fleet of 10 superyachts took to the Bay of Palma to compete for the title at the 21st edition.

The competing yachts were facing sunshine, hot temperatures and two great courses from 20-25nm on the second race day at The Superyacht Cup Palma.

Having sponsored the Superyacht Cup Palma from day one, we are proud to be back at site to support these four days of passionate sailing in the Bay of Palma.

It's a sunny start of the Superyacht Cup Palma today, which is opened by the Pantaenius Race Day - for the sixth year running.

We look forward to an enjoyable event at Palma's 21st Superyacht Cup, 21-24 June.

The Pantaenius team joined 17 racing superyachts in Sardinia earlier this month for the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and Boat International.
