Wimco Villas Announces Partnership With the St Barths' Bucket Regatta, Draw for Superyachts

February 28, 2014, St Barths, F.W.I. - WIMCO Villas announces the continuation of its partnership with The St. Barths Bucket Regatta, held March 27th-30th this year. As part of the agreement, The Bucket features WIMCO as the preferred villa rental and concierge service provider for all Bucket Regatta participants. WIMCO uniquely provides a one-stop shop for accommodations, flights, rental cars, provisions, and of course hard to get last minute restaurant reservations for both guest and crew parties.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with this signature event," says Stiles Bennet, President of WIMCO Villas. "The Bucket attracts some of the most beautiful superyachts in the world; the emphasis on 'winning the party' and having fun is in line with the relaxed nature of the island. The sheer beauty of these magnificent sailing vessels is a sight unlike many others. Besides just their size, the prowess required to sail these large yachts brings out some of the finest sailors from around the world to assist in the all out efforts to win by many owners. Winning the race is ultimately far more important than winning the party, no matter what any of these highly competitive owners want you to think!"
