The Deep Blue Collection: When St Barts Is Lived From the Sea (May–November)
The collection of the oil-flat sea: when the trade wind softens, the island is crossed by water.
Who it is for
There is a window each year when the swell withdraws and the trade wind softens, and the whole island turns toward the water. Deep Blue is a seasonal collection from our St Barts atelier — not a package sold from a brochure, but a way of composing an entire stay around a single intention.
The approach
From May to November the north swell has withdrawn and the trade wind eases: this is the season when St Barts is lived from the sea rather than from the terrace. The Deep Blue collection builds the stay around that window — Île Fourchue at anchor with the chef aboard, <a href="/guide/st-barts-beaches-ranked/">the Colombier turtles at first light</a> when the water is still glassy, offshore fishing followed by a dinner of your own catch, the champagne cruise as the sun tips over. The villa is chosen near the embarkation, the table adapts to late returns. A seasonal collection, available only when the sea allows — which is precisely what makes it worth having.
What the Deep Blue collection includes
The collection is not a menu to pick from — it is a composed whole. Its building blocks: Villa minutes from Gustavia or Lorient. Île Fourchue day with the chef aboard. Private turtle snorkelling at the glassy hour. Sunset champagne cruise, once per stay. Each element is arranged in advance and adjusted to your party once we know it.
Practical notes
Deep Blue is a seasonal collection, available only in its season for the reasons above. Pricing depends on villa size, party and dates rather than a fixed rate, which is why the collection is quoted as a single all-inclusive figure agreed before arrival — accommodation, chef, provisioning, experiences, vehicle and concierge in one number, with a written exclusion list so nothing surprises you on the island.
How to book it
The Deep Blue collection is orchestrated as a single stay with one point of contact — villa, chef, experiences and logistics agreed before you fly, nothing left to assemble on arrival. The full formats, seasonality and current availability live on the <a href="/collections/grand-bleu/">collection page</a>, and every stay is composed to the party rather than sold from a shelf.
Questions
Why is this collection not offered in winter?
From December to March, north swell and a brisk trade make crossings lively and some anchorages uncomfortable. We would rather not sell it than sell it badly.
Do I need to swim or dive?
Swimming is enough. Outings are guided, equipment provided, and children from six find their place.
When is the Deep Blue collection available?
From May to November, when the north swell has withdrawn and the trade wind eases. It is a seasonal collection, offered only when the sea genuinely allows it.
