Gustavia is the capital of St Barts — the small Swedish-influenced harbour town where Hermès, Cartier, and Bulgari share a quayside with the finest rum selection in the French Caribbean. The harbour anchorage is the most concentrated superyacht gathering in the Caribbean outside the New Year's period.

For the Gustavia harbour quayside. The Rue de la République and the Rue du Général de Gaulle — the main shopping streets running along the harbour. A PP linen shirt in white or a composed natural with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Gustavia morning shopping and the harbour promenade.

For the Gustavia harbour restaurants. The quayside restaurants — the Wall House, the Le Repaire — the most observed luncheon and dinner occasions in Gustavia. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Gustavia harbour evening.

For the Shell Beach. The only proper beach on the Gustavia side of the island — below the harbour wall, with the restaurants of Le Tamarin above. White PP linen over natural swim shorts; leather sandals.

For Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa. The luxury resort hotel on the Grand Cul de Sac lagoon. White PP linen for the hotel beach and the lagoon; navy with linen trousers for the hotel restaurant evening.

For the boat tender from the anchorage to the quay. The defining transport of Gustavia — the tender from the anchored superyacht into the harbour. White PP linen and natural swim shorts for the tender; leather deck shoes.
