History: 

Discover the captivating past of Saint Barthélemy, where Christoper Columbus named the island in 1493 after his brother, Bartoloméo. Initially settled by Huguenots and frequented by French buccaneers, Saint Barthélemy was traded to Sweden in 1784, with its charming capital, Gustavia, named in honor of King Gustavia III. Though returned to France in 1878, the island retains its Swedish allure. Saint Barthélemy’s allure soared when Rémy de Haenen, the island’s first mayor and a Dutch aviator, attracted elite guests like Howard Hughs. By the 1970s, luxury yachts became integral to Gustavia’s glamorous nightlife. Experience the island of Gustavia in ultimate comfort with a private flight, and immerse yourself in its rich history and vibrant culture.
