On Wednesday 11 March, the day before the legendary St Barths Bucket regatta, members of the BOAT International Owners' Club gathered for lunch at Villa NYX, one of the island's most spectacular private residences generously provided by Hamaka | Knight Frank.

Set within nearly two acres of lush tropical grounds, the villa offers sweeping panoramic views across the island, from the sparkling Caribbean Sea to the verdant hillsides that define St Barths' distinctive landscape.

The event was made possible through Hamaka | Knight Frank, a premier luxury villa rental and real estate agency specialising in exceptional properties across St Barths. With a portfolio of the island's most outstanding villas, Hamaka offers bespoke concierge services and local expertise, ensuring clients experience the very best of St Barths.

Owners' Club members enjoyed the picturesque surroundings while exploring the villa's beautiful interiors and discovering an exclusive private jewellery showcase from Bulgari. The brand presented a trunk show, allowing guests to experience high jewellery pieces up close. Adding a creative touch to the afternoon, Bulgari also arranged for a live illustrator to paint portraits of guests throughout the event.

The event was brought together in partnership with Camper & Nicholsons, Heesen and Bulgari. Guests were treated to passed hors d'oeuvres and a full bar, provided by Bon Appétit SBH, a private chef service, alongside Shaken, St Barths' top-tier cocktail specialist. Signature cocktails were mixed for the occasion, including the Bvlgari Signature, Camper & Nicholsons Classic and Heesen Hugo.
