The possibilities
are endless in beautiful Barbados. With warm weather year-round, the best time to visit is between January and April when there is minimal rainfall.

Delight in the perfect outing, after a day of enjoying 5-star service on your luxury yacht.
Local Culture and Cuisine
Barbados is the most easterly of the Caribbean Islands and its capital, Bridgetown, is a UNESCO world heritage site. First inhabited by the Kalinago people, Barbados then became a British colony. Today, 90% of Barbadians are Afro-Caribbean and the remainder of the population is European. Barbados is a blend of West African, Portuguese, Creole, Indian, and British cultures, which is also reflected in its cuisine. Marinated succulent meats, herbed fresh fish, pickled cucumber, and fish cakes are some of the local dishes. While the national dish of Barbados is cou-cou, and flying fish with spicy gravy. Don’t forget to enjoy a sip of Mount Gay Extra Old, the locally-produced rum, alfresco on the deck.
Best places for wining and dining
Situated right on the waterfront, Barbados restaurant the Cliffs offers a prime fine dining experience. The restaurant has a cult following and we can see why. Curated by chef Ernest Perepeczo, sample the impressive degustation menu. Revel in delicious red snapper bouillabaisse with squid linguine, clams, and rouille crouton, and bite into plump ricotta dumplings with cauliflower, yeast purée, grape sauce, and vierge. Enjoy!
Yacht Hunter recommends - Don’t miss out!
Hunte’s Gardens in central Barbados are in bloom at the home of celebrated horticulturalist Anthony Hunte. With classical music playing softly in the background, cobbled steps along the pathway, and a seating space for the romantic at heart, this fern gully is a truly enchanting discovery. Admire eye-popping exotic plants, spot lizards, hummingbirds, and wild monkeys. Before you leave, try some of the owner’s famous rum punch on the grand estate’s porch. An unmissable experience.
