Talking grilled lobster, favorite views and more with St. Barths’ vet Bob Gagauf


We sat down with longtime WIMCO client Bob Gagauf to find out how he does St. Barths. The answer? Find a companion you love travelling with. The rest is easy. 


The first time I went to St. Barths Gee, I don’t remember exactly–probably around 1986 or 1987, but this year will be our 21st trip.   I used to be able to remember all the villas we stayed at by code, but there have been too many!

The last time I was in St. Barths Was November 2013

My vacation look is Casual chic

The one thing you must try in St. Barths is Sante Fe
