Father’s Day is more than a date on the calendar — it’s an opportunity to show appreciation for the men who’ve supported, guided, and inspired us throughout our lives. And what better way to celebrate than with a sun-drenched escape to the Caribbean jewel of Saint Barthélemy? At Dollar SBH, we believe Father’s Day should be unforgettable — and with the right car, the right itinerary, and the right setting, it absolutely can be.
Here’s your complete guide to planning the perfect Father’s Day getaway in St. Barts — whether you’re celebrating with the whole family, enjoying father-son bonding time, or giving dad the solo adventure he deserves.
1. The Dollar SBH Advantage: Freedom on Four Wheels
There’s something about getting behind the wheel of the perfect car that makes a holiday even more exciting — especially when it’s in a place as picturesque as Saint Barth. Whether your dad loves sleek convertibles, rugged 4x4s, or practical vehicles for family adventures, Dollar SBH has the right model.
Our recommended Father’s Day picks:
- Mini Cooper Convertible – For the dad who loves style and freedom. Let him cruise around Gustavia with the top down and the sun on his face.
- Jeep Wrangler 3-Door – For adventurous fathers who want to explore hidden beaches and winding hillside roads.
- Chrysler Pacifica – Ideal for big family outings, offering comfort, space, and versatility.
- Honda XN-V Electric – For the eco-conscious dad who loves innovation and quiet driving through paradise.
All our rentals come with complimentary airport or port delivery, child seats available on request, and the warm, professional service our clients count on.
2. A Caribbean Paradise Made for Celebrating Dads
St. Barts is not your average holiday destination. It’s a place where every detail feels curated — from the design of the villas to the refinement of the cuisine. For Father’s Day, this means you have endless ways to tailor a trip that suits your dad’s personality.
For the food-loving father:
Book a table at Bonito, L’Esprit, or Tamarin, where fine dining meets island ambiance. Want something more relaxed? Organize a sunset barbecue on the beach or a seafood picnic from Fish Corner — and get there effortlessly with your rental car.
For the adventure-seeker:
Drive to Colombier Beach via the Flamands route, park your Jeep Wrangler, and hike together to one of the most secluded and stunning spots on the island. Or load your Pacifica with paddleboards and snorkeling gear for a day exploring Lorient or Gouverneur.
For the shopping dad:
Drop by the luxury boutiques in Gustavia. From watches and sunglasses to linen shirts and sandals, Saint Barth has something stylish for every father.
3. A Day of Exploration: The Ideal Father’s Day Road Trip
Start the day with a hearty breakfast at Le Barthélemy Hotel, then hop in your rental and set off for a mini-road trip that highlights the island’s beauty:
- Stop 1: Gustavia Harbor – Watch the yachts, grab a coffee, and stroll through the marina.
- Stop 2: Shell Beach – A short drive away, perfect for a swim or just relaxing on a beach lined with natural seashells.
- Stop 3: Saline Beach – Accessible by car and a short walk. It’s one of the island’s most pristine beaches — quiet and ideal for reflection.
- Stop 4: Grand Fond – Enjoy a coastal drive and admire the wild beauty of the rocky cliffs and surf.
- Stop 5: Toiny – Cap off your loop with a lunch at Hotel Le Toiny’s Beach Club, where you can park and hop on a beach buggy for the final stretch.
With a Mini Cooper Convertible, the drive becomes part of the experience. With a Chrysler Pacifica, the whole family rides in comfort. Whatever you choose, Dollar SBH gets you there in style.

5. Create Unforgettable Moments Together
Father’s Day is a chance to slow down and reconnect. It’s not about extravagant gifts — it’s about shared moments and lasting memories.
- Take a photo together at the Lurin viewpoint at sunset, one of the best panoramic spots on the island.
- Drive to the Gustavia lighthouse for a short walk and a breath of ocean air.
- Let dad pick the playlist, roll down the windows, and cruise with no agenda.
- End the day with a toast overlooking the sea — maybe with a local rum or a chilled glass of rosé.
You’ll be surprised how the freedom of a car can open up space for these experiences to happen naturally.
6. From Generation to Generation
Father’s Day is also about legacy — and there’s something touching about seeing a father teach his son or daughter how to load the car for a beach day, choose the best route through the hills, or spot sea turtles in the shallows.
If you’re traveling with multiple generations, the Chrysler Pacifica or Mini Countryman are fantastic choices. Spacious enough for grandparents and grandkids, these models also come with optional features like Bluetooth connectivity, charging ports, and rear-view cameras — safety and convenience for every age.
At Dollar SBH, we also offer baby and child seats on request (free of charge), making family travel smooth and safe.
7. Make It a Tradition
Why not make a Father’s Day trip to Saint Barth an annual tradition? With its blend of natural beauty, refined charm, and endless opportunity for adventure, the island is a place where families create rituals: sunrise swims, favorite beach stops, or that one roadside stand with the best coconut sorbet.
When you return next year, your dad may even have a favorite Dollar SBH model he insists on reserving again. (Many of our loyal clients do!)
And if you’re gifting this experience, consider a Dollar SBH gift card — a flexible, thoughtful way to contribute to a loved one’s journey.
