Sailing in St Barts unlocks the island’s coastline from a fresh perspective, with catamaran and motorboat charters available for half-day excursions or week-long adventures. Anchor off secluded Colombier Beach, picnic on Pinel Island, or enjoy chef-prepared meals aboard as the sun dips below the horizon. The island’s competitive sailing calendar peaks with spring regattas like the St Barth Bucket (March) and Les Voiles de St Barth (April), while November’s Cata Cup draws kitesurfing catamaran racers. Whether piloting your own yacht or chartering a crewed vessel, St Barts’ sheltered bays and trade winds cater to every nautical ambition.

Witnessing the age-old craft of leather treatment at the Bab Debbagh tanneries is a fascinating experience. Situated near a river for water supply, these tanneries have been operating for centuries. The distinctive odour, resulting from ammonia used in the leather-softening process, will let you know you've arrived. Unlike some other Moroccan tanneries, the focus here is on treating leather in its natural state; the dyeing happens elsewhere. Visiting the site can be a bit tricky due to the presence of unofficial 'guides' demanding payment. If you prefer a hassle-free experience, consider hiring a certified guide as part of a medina tour. Otherwise, prepare to navigate past these unofficial attendants by offering a small tip and insisting on entering without their assistance.
