The Court

The Court wears yachting attire.

The St. Barths Bucket is not the Court’s own. Places on spectator boats and rooms on the island are sought on a member’s behalf, and the Court arranges the whole of it: getting there, where to stay, and the table afterward.

How one becomes a member is set out under Admission.
