Why the Invictus GT370 is Perfect for St. Barts
St. Barts is an island of sophisticated tastes and rugged coastlines. The Invictus GT370 is uniquely suited for this environment for several reasons. Firstly, its 1.1-meter draft allows the captain to navigate closer to the shoreline than larger motor yachts, providing unparalleled access to the shallow turquoise waters of Colombier Beach and the natural pools of Grand Fond.
The sea state around St. Barts can occasionally be choppy, especially when crossing the channel toward St. Maarten or Anguilla. The GT370’s hull is designed for stability and "dry" cruising, ensuring that even at high speeds, guests remain comfortable on the expansive aft deck. The integrated carbon hardtop provides essential shade from the intense Caribbean sun, while the foldable side terrace (on select models) creates an "island" feel even when at anchor.
Pricing for Renting and Chartering in 2026
When planning your 2026 voyage, it is important to note that pricing in St. Barts fluctuates significantly based on the season. The "Festive Season" (late December to early January) commands the highest premiums, while the shoulder seasons offer excellent value.
| Season | Daily Rate (EUR) | Weekly Rate (EUR) |
|---|---|---|

Curated Itineraries from Gustavia
Most luxury charters begin in the iconic Port de Gustavia, the heartbeat of the island. Whether you have eight hours or a full week, the Invictus GT370 is the ideal platform for discovery.
1-Day "Island Chic" Itinerary
- Morning: Depart Gustavia and head north to Anse de Colombier. This area is only accessible by boat or foot, making it the perfect spot for a private morning swim and snorkeling with sea turtles.
- Lunch: Cruise around the tip of the island to Baie de Saint-Jean. Anchor within sight of the famous Eden Rock and enjoy a catered lunch on board or head ashore to Nikki Beach.
- Afternoon: Navigate to Shell Beach for a sunset cocktail. The Invictus’s premium sound system and wet bar make this the ultimate "sundowner" setting.
- Evening: Return to Gustavia as the harbor lights begin to twinkle.
3-7 Day "Leeward Luxe" Itinerary
Chartering an Invictus GT370 for several days allows you to explore the neighboring gems within the destinations we service. A typical route might include overnighting in the sheltered bay of Grand Case in St. Martin, known as the gourmet capital of the Caribbean, before heading to the powdery white sands of Rendezvous Bay in Anguilla. The GT370’s two cabins provide a cozy, boutique hotel feel for a couple or a small family looking for an intimate live-aboard experience.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in St. Barts
The primary hub for any yachting activity is the Marina de Gustavia. During the peak season, berthing inside the inner harbor is highly coveted and requires advance booking. The Invictus GT370’s size is advantageous here, as it can often find spots that larger superyachts cannot. Alternatively, many guests choose to stay at anchor in the outer harbor, using the yacht's agility to zip into the "Quai de la République" for shopping at designer boutiques.
Mooring balls are available in the protected Réserve Naturelle areas, such as Colombier and Fourchue Island. It is vital to follow local environmental regulations to protect the coral reefs, a task your professional skipper will handle seamlessly.

Seasonal Guide and Sea Conditions
The best time for renting an Invictus GT370 in St. Barts is between December and May. During these months, the "Christmas Winds" provide a refreshing breeze, though the seas remain manageable for a 37-foot vessel. February and March are particularly popular for those wishing to witness the St. Barths Bucket Regatta.
From June to November, the island enters a quieter phase. While there is a higher chance of tropical rain, the water temperatures are at their warmest, and the anchorages are significantly less crowded. The Invictus GT370’s air-conditioned cabins provide a cool retreat if the humidity rises during these summer months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a license required for renting an Invictus GT370 in St. Barts?
Most of our clients prefer a "skippered" rental to fully enjoy the luxury experience and the open bar. However, if you wish to bareboat, you must provide a valid international boating license and a comprehensive nautical CV. Acceptance is at the discretion of the fleet manager and insurance providers.
How many people can comfortably fit when chartering an Invictus GT370 in St. Barts?
While the boat is certified for up to 12 passengers for day trips, we recommend a group of 8 to 10 for maximum comfort. For overnight charters, the boat is best suited for 2 couples or a small family of 4, utilizing the forward and mid-ship berths.
What is the fuel consumption like for a day trip?
The Invictus GT370 is relatively efficient for its class. A standard "round-the-island" trip at cruising speed typically consumes between 150 and 250 liters of fuel, depending on the sea state and how many stops you make at various beaches.
Can we cruise to Anguilla or St. Maarten on the GT370?
Yes, the GT370 is perfectly capable of the cross-channel transit. However, please note that international charters require customs clearance and passport checks at the port of entry, which your skipper will facilitate. Additional fuel costs and port fees will apply.
