With panoramic views overlooking the port of Gustavia, the newly-opened Ocean Club St Barths was the perfect venue to host BOAT International's 2023 St Barths Sunset Cocktail Event. The exclusive new fine dining restaurant hosted this year's guests alongside event partners The Macallan whisky distillery and Leo Dean luxury clothing brand.
The venue
The Ocean Club St Barths opened its doors in November 2022, offering a private restaurant and retreat to those on the island and the wider ocean-loving community. Guests of this year's event spent time socialising outdoors where they could enjoy the best spot to view the sunset over the marina.
The food & drink
The Ocean Club St Barths restaurant provided a selection of canapes throughout the evening, all with freshly-sourced ingredients to pair with The Macallan Downstream cocktails and champagne.
The guests
The guests were welcomed by BOAT International editor-in-chief Stewart Campbell with a dram of The Macallan Reflexion to toast afterwards.
The entertainment
In addition to a live DJ at the event, guests were treated to a curated whisky tasting from event partner The Macallan of The Macallan Sherry Oak 12-Year-Old and The Macallan Sherry Oak 18-Year-Old. Also on display was event partner Leo Dean's new high-performance sailing clothing collection, with personalised Leo Dean bracelets gifted to each guest.
