It's the chicest place to be on the harbor, aside from on the bow of a 150-foot Azimut surrounded in bikini clad companions and latest soccer star du jour. Created by Carole Gruson, a must-know name in St. Barts who also owns nearby Le Ti, this waterfront supper club and lounge Is one of the hottest social scenes in St. Barts throughout high season.  Perched above the white fiberglass landscape of endless luxury yachts and their ever-chic inhabitants, the space offers an early evening supper club scene with menu of continental French and seafood flavors that transitions by 9pm into a full-out nightclub with harbor champagne scene dotted with celebrities like Ron Perelman and Mariah Carey. Le Yacht Club is arranged in slip-covered chairs and fluffy oversize sofas in cool all-white palette with floor-to-ceiling walls of glass that open to an outdoor terrace.  By midnight the space takes the turn of a full-out nightclub with disco lighting and tabletop dance scene of models, actresses, and simple billionaires looking to showoff at the Caribbean's hottest winter address.
