The New Caribbean Gateway

By Katherine Verano in Marina, St. Kitts

Luxury Caribbean resort and superyacht marina, Christophe Harbour in partnership with luxury private terminal, YU Lounge, St. Kitts present the New Caribbean Gateway; a suite of luxury services offered to yacht owners and charter guests to ensure an exceptional transition between jet and yacht upon arrival in St. Kitts. This formal collaboration is a strategic response to the steadily increasing yacht and private jet traffic in St. Kitts and is expected to further drive global demand from the world’s most discerning jetsetters looking for new experiences and new destinations within the regions.

“We are thrilled to note the opening of Christophe Harbour, a truly visionary project that will change the landscape of hospitality and luxury in the Caribbean. Together with our unique YU Lounge St Kitts private terminal, we are providing a seamless set of services that will be unrivalled in the region, from the runway to the marina” said Nirvan Veerasamy and Uday Nayak, co-founders of the Veling Group.

The carefully crafted, five-star experience is designed to deliver world-class hospitality at the start or end of a Caribbean voyage, beginning the moment yacht owners and charter guests step onto the tarmac. Yacht owners and charter guests will experience expedited customs processing and security, a selection of top-tier food and beverage, baggage handling and airport transfers via YU Lounge’s fleet of Porsche Cayenne vehicles.  All of which allows yacht owners and charter guests swift and seamless access to their vessel within 30 minutes of touchdown.

“Since the opening of Christophe Harbour’s marina earlier this year, we’ve enjoyed significant momentum and buzz from across the sector. The amount of yachting activity we’ve seen is unprecedented for St. Kitts and will only increase as progress continues at new services and amenities are introduced,” said Buddy Darby, Christophe Harbour founder and CEO. “With expanding marina services and seamless experience offered through our partnership with YU Lounge, we are confident St. Kitts is perfectly poised to become the new gateway to the Caribbean.”

In celebration of this partnership, Christophe Harbour and YU Lounge hosted an official unveiling event on September 25 during the Monaco Yacht Show. This year marks Christophe Harbour’s third year participating in the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show, with both harbor-side exhibition space, located at Quai de L’Hirondelle (QH26), and in partnership with YU Lounge at the Darse Sud Lounge. Principals from both YU Lounge and Christophe Harbour will be available on the stand for pre-scheduled interviews throughout the week.
