Sailing a Yacht in St Lucia

The Windward Islands promise lively sailing conditions, with a St Lucia yacht charter experiencing brilliant winds, sizzling sunshine and straightforward navigation.

Forming the eastern border of the Caribbean Sea, the Windward Islands’ north-south orientation means the winds will be on the beam more often than not when traveling south on your St Lucia boat charter. This is ideal for fast cruising on the longer passages between some of the islands. 

Heading north, cruising close-hauled or on a close reach is typical while those that opt for a one-way charter can cover more ground and avoid moving windward. Wind velocities run the gamut from a gentle 10 knots to a more spirited 25 knots, often strengthening off the northern ends of the islands due to land effect. 

Navigation is straightforward, which makes a St Lucia yacht charter ideal for all sailors, whether you have been riding the waves for years or are planning to take the helm for the first time on a bareboat yacht charter . Of course,  plotting courses and keeping an eye on the GPS is still very important during your sailing vacation in St Lucia. Learn more about the brilliant cruising conditions in St Lucia , from the average annual temperature to tidal range.

Martinique Rum Experience

For a unique Crewed Yacht experience, rum aficionados might consider the  Martinique Rum Experience . This package is available as an add-on to your St. Lucia Crewed Yacht vacation and includes land excursions, historic factory tours and more.

Why Charter a Yacht in St Lucia?

When you’re not cutting through the surf on your yacht , you may want to take advantage of the many sightseeing opportunities on land while hiking, shopping, or simply taking in the scene from a table at a quaint shorefront restaurant. St Lucia is abundant with flora, including wild orchids and giant ferns. Look for the tropical birds while hiking the island’s curving trails and pathways. A popular attraction that shouldn’t be missed is the nearby Soufriére volcano where you can hike to the crater and learn about the volcano’s impact on the island.

Undoubtedly one of the best things about chartering a yacht in St Lucia is that there is something for everyone to fall in love with, whether you’re sailing with family, friends or as a couple.

Types of Yacht Charter in St Lucia

We are proud to offer several types of yacht charter in St Lucia, each providing something unique that will elevate your idyllic vacation. Will you choose one of our rewarding bareboat yacht charters , hire a skipper or opt for ultimate luxury on a crewed charter ?

St Lucia Bareboat Yacht Charters

Embrace the freedom to explore the island’s diverse attractions and sailing routes at your own pace on a St Lucia bareboat charter. With no crew onboard, a bareboat charter ensures uninterrupted relaxation and tranquility, and also allows you to take on the responsibility of skippering one of our world-class yachts. For sailing enthusiasts, a bareboat charter in St. Lucia also presents a fantastic opportunity to enhance your sailing skills and gain confidence in navigating various conditions. Although we won’t be joining you on board, The Moorings will be there to support you every step of the way, with pre-charter briefings and our 4-hour commitment .

Skippered Yacht Charters in St Lucia

A skippered yacht charter takes the sense of adventure from a bareboat charter, and relaxation from a crewed charter. It truly offers the best of both worlds as you can hire a skipper for all or part of your St Lucia yacht charter. 

This means you can take the helm when you want, still charting your own destiny, but can also spend time with friends or family up on deck and let one of our experienced skippers guide you around the majestic islands.

It is worth noting that there are several different countries represented within the cruising grounds of the Windward Islands and each of them require customs/immigration clearance upon arrival and departure. Fees vary based on the country, yacht, number of passengers, itinerary etc. 

All boat charters in St Lucia with a skipper are encouraged to provide the skipper with an initial $500 at the beginning of their charter. This money will be used to cover costs for customs fees as well as mooring ball fees for the duration of the charter. At the end of the charter the skipper will return any remaining funds along with receipts for all money spent.

All-Inclusive Crewed Yacht Charters in St Lucia

Want to take your St Lucia sailing vacation to the next level? Opting for an all-inclusive crewed yacht charter in St. Lucia ensures a luxurious and stress-free vacation. With a professional crew of skippers, chefs and housekeepers onboard, you can indulge in the utmost comfort, enjoying gourmet meals, personalized itineraries, and attentive care throughout your St Lucia yacht charter.

Our experienced crew also possess local knowledge about the best anchorages, attractions and excursions in St Lucia, which means they can guide you to hidden gems, off-the-bean-path destinations and share insights on local culture.

Explore St Lucia on our fleet of world-class yachts

At The Moorings, we understand that the type of yacht you set sail on will have an impact on your overall charter experience. We have spent 50 years building a world leading fleet of cutting edge sailing catamarans, power catamarans and monohulls to provide a seamless yacht charter in St Lucia. All you need to do is choose which one you want to call home for a couple of weeks.

Sailing Catamaran Charter in St Lucia

If you’re planning on booking a St Lucia catamaran charter, we have two types of catamarans available. Our impeccable sailing catamarans are spacious, modern and stylish, ensuring you enjoy the smoothest possible sailing experience as you sail between St Lucia and its surrounding islands.

A modern take on the classic monohull, they are comfortable, easy to handle and the ideal sailing companion for a St Lucia yacht charter. Which one can you picture yourself sailing around St Lucia on? If you have any questions about our fleet of yachts , please contact us today.

There are so many ways to explore St Lucia and the sensational surrounding islands that we have created multiple itineraries that you can choose from or take inspiration from when designing your own St Lucia sailing itinerary. 

If you do follow one of our carefully crafted routes, you can expect to sail to and around some of the following places:

• Marigot Bay
• Anse Cochon
• Pigeon Island
• Tobago Cays (also featured in our Grenada sailing itinerary )

These are only a few of the beautiful islands, cays and bays you can expect to visit on a St Lucia boat charter with The Moorings.

If this is your first time planning an exciting St Lucia yacht charter, you’ll likely be wondering about the best time to sail, as well as any times of the year to avoid.

In St Lucia, the dry season runs from February to May, while the wet season is classed as June to September. Hurricane season technically lasts from June to November, with the peak being around August and September. 

The peaking sailing season in St Lucia is between mid-December-mid-April. A prime time for a St. Lucia yacht charter is during the winter months when a cool northeast wind blows across the shores. Although, if you’re looking for a more secluded, quiet yacht charter in St Lucia, you may choose to go between May and June instead.

You can spend your St Lucia yacht charter doing whatever makes you happiest, even if that means spending the entire week in St. Lucia waters, using Rodney Bay as your base to enjoy leisurely sails and sojourns ashore to shop, sightsee, and sample gourmet fare in upscale restaurants. 

However, for most charterers, the attraction of the Eastern Caribbean is the chance to combine open-water, down-island trips in fair winds with pleasant days of short passages between islands to swim, snorkel, and experience the culture and ambience of the smaller isles in the magnificent Grenadines just south of St. Vincent. 

The islands, cays and bays featured on our St Lucia sailing itinerary are easy to sail between, and the wonders you’ll find when you reach each one is well worth it anyway. The longest passage you’ll encounter during your yacht charter in St Lucia is between St. Lucia and St. Vincent, and beyond are myriad islands in a tropical paradise.

From the Windwards to the Grenadines and beyond, a St Lucia yacht charter gives you the ideal opportunity to explore countless Eastern Caribbean destinations. With this in mind, the length of your St Lucia sailing vacation will depend on how many destinations you want to visit, how much downtime you want to have and how many excursions you have planned.

We have a mixture of 7-day, 10-day and 14-day sailing itineraries for St Lucia, each of which bring something unique and exciting. Take a look at our itineraries and decide which one works best for you. It is worth keeping in mind that our itineraries require you to clear customs. Further details will be provided to you during your chart briefing at the base.

• Martinique Rum Experience – This package add-on to your St. Lucia Crewed Yacht vacation includes land excursions, historic factory tours and more
• Soak up the sun, relax on the golden sands and sip cocktails at one of the many exquisite beaches in St Lucia, from Grand Anse Beach to Reduit beach
• Enjoy a day of snorkeling and swimming around the colorful reefs of Sainte-Anne
• A number of St Lucia boat charter operations on the island offer whole and half-day deep sea fishing excursions. Seasonal catches include mackerel, king mackerel, white marlin, barracuda, kingfish and sailfish. If you want to go fishing, no fishing license is required and equipment can be rented through The Moorings St Lucia base at $20 USD per day
• Visit The Pitons, the two twin peaks of Petit Piton and Gros Piton that have become a world renowned landmark

Spend your afternoon swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and splashing around in the crystal clear waters of St Lucia. Check out our water sports options to learn about what you can add to your charter .

St. Lucia has a stunning tropical climate that is influenced by sea winds and the prevailing NE trade winds. The winds are nearly always from northeast to southeast at 10 to 25 knots, and tend to strengthen around the northern ends of the islands. Sea state in the passages between the islands can be moderate, but rarely rough. 

St. Lucia’s temperature ranges from 65 to 85°F (18 to 29°C) from December to May and 75 to 95°F (23 to 35°C) from June to November. The Winter is relatively drier as well. Average annual precipitation varies from 1,500 mm to 1,750 mm (59 to 68 inches) on the north and south coasts to 4,000 mm (157 inches) in the interior rainforest. Water temperature is fairly constant at 83°F (28°C). 

Our St Lucia yacht charter base provides a weather forecast for the following 24 hours upon arrival. There are locations at Blue Lagoon St. Vincent, Tyrell Bay, Clifton Harbor and Bequia where forecasts are posted daily. Please note that radio reception can be very poor in the islands but you can obtain reports during your St Lucia sailing vacation by calling our Moorings base by cell phone.

In the Windward Islands the tide range is very small: 30 cm to 60 cm (1 to 2 feet) including the variation of level due to atmospheric pressure and dominant winds. You will experience similar tidal ranges at some of our other incredible Caribbean destinations in the BVI and Grenada , as well as our Mediterranean charter bases in Greece and Italy .

If you’re wondering about the current during your St Lucia yacht charter, the current between the islands is generally setting towards the west at about 0.5 to 2 knots and the swell is mainly northeast to east, but can occasionally be north during the winter months.

St. Lucia Yacht Charters

For the adventurous travelers, the ones who find lazing in  standard yacht charter destinations or sightseeing in a tourist town too  boring to call a vacation, a St. Lucia yacht charter is absolutely  perfect. This small gem in the Windward islands rests between Martinique  and St. Vincent, on the outer edge of the curve of training islands  towards South America. Sitting close to the equator and influenced by  the trade winds year round, St. Lucia is a perfect place to go sailing  or to charter a motor yacht. 12 Knots offers the highest quality  charters with luxury amenities, crew assistance, and other services to  ensure your vacation is smooth sailing.

From trekking the wild jungles to tackling waves on the open ocean,  St. Lucia brings sailors and outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity of a  lifetime. With so much to do and see, you’ll probably come back to the  island more than once if you get the chance. St. Lucia is a hidden  wonder of the Caribbean. Its rich history, ideal climate, exotic  landscapes and wildlife offer a treat for anyone who has a love for the  island lifestyle. A sailing vacation is just one way to experience the  island, but many say that a private yacht charter provides the most  freedom and authenticity when visiting the Caribbean for the first, or  the hundredth time. You won’t be disappointed choosing St. Lucia for  your next sailing vacation.

History of St. Lucia

St. Lucia was first inhabited by the Caribs, an indigenous  tribal people who controlled much of the Caribbean islands. However,  French and English settlers arrived in the 1660s, and fought over  ownership of the land for several decades. France and England fought  over most of the Caribbean until the Treaty of Paris. St. Lucia switched  rulers over fourteen times before 1814, and is sometimes called the  "Helen of the West Indies" after the famous Helen of Troy. While Britain  gained final control of St. Lucia, the French were the ones to name it.  Saint Lucia was chosen to honor Saint Lucy of Syracuse, and is the only  country in the world to be named after a woman.

The island was solely British territory until the late 1950s, when it  became a part of the Federation of the West Indies. This Federation  allowed European countries to maintain control of their territories, yet  gave some freedom over internal affairs to the states. However, St.  Lucia fought for sovereignty and in 1979 received it. Saint Lucia is now  an independent state, and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.  Though it gained independence from the European countries, St. Lucia  still carries much of the history and culture from its ancestors. From  the first Caribs to the settling French and English, St. Lucia is a  wonderful blend of European sophistication with the island carefree  lifestyle.

Geography and Wildlife

St. Lucia was not always a luscious rainforest island with  wildlife and beautiful seascapes. Its origins come from volcanic  eruptions and continental shifts to form the craggy peaks and mountains  that shape the island’s inland. St. Lucia is significantly more rugged  than most of the islands, with its highest peak, Mount Gimie, reaching  over 950 metres (3,120 feet) above sea level. This provides a beautiful  backdrop for sailors as they cruise along the shoreline looking for  adventure.

Two towering mountains, the Pitons, make a statement on the island’s  coastline. They sit between Soufrière and Choiseul on the western side,  and act as a landmark for sailors  to know they’ve arrived at St. Lucia.  However, these two peaks are not even the greatest sight in St. Lucia.  You’ll have to travel to the Sulphur Springs in Soufrière to see the  world’s only drive-in volcano. The Sulphur Springs is one of the only  places where you can take a trip into a volcano’s hot springs and see  the natural ecosystem up close.

In addition to the beautiful landscapes, you’ll be surrounded by  exotic wildlife on your St. Lucia yacht charter. All sorts of tropical  animals, from dangerous reptiles including boa constrictors and  fer-de-lance snakes, to the more tame ones like the iguana, and the  hundreds of tropical birds that decorate the skies, can be found here.  St Lucia is home to a very rare species of lizard, the St. Lucia  Whiptail. This creature wasn’t discovered until 1958, and it only  inhabits the southern portion of the island around Vieux Fort. This  lizard is both rare and beautiful, characterized by white spots and a  vibrant tail and underbelly. Rodents like manicao and mongoose also  graze along the forest floor and are a common sight along the hiking  trails on St. Lucia.

Culture and Local Attractions

St. Lucia is a wonderful melting pot of African, East Indian,  French, and English culture. Because of its long-lasting British rule,  the official language of St. Lucia is English. However, most of the  population also speak a Saint Lucian-specific French Creole, known  locally as Patois, or"Patwa." Much of the music and literature from St.  Lucia natives is written in the Antillean Creole language. You may be  able to pick up some of the dialect during your sailing vacation, or  appreciate the beauty of the native language in the traditional song and  dance of St. Lucia, exhibited in their many festivals and street  markets.

Music and dance are an integral part of the St. Lucian culture. The  island hosts several different festivals throughout the year to honor  the history, culture, and indigenous customs of the people who lived  there. The La Rose and La Marguerite celebrate different secret  societies and fraternal organizations on the island. St. Lucia also  holds an annual carnival to celebrate before Lent, as many other  Caribbean islands do. However, the biggest festival on the island is the  Saint Lucia Jazz Festival. This festival brings musicians from all  across the Caribbean. In addition to jazz, St. Lucia is a fertile  creative ground for music genres such as Calypso, Soca, Dancehall,  Reggae, Zouk, Salsa, and indigenous folk music.

If you’re looking for more outdoor attractions during your yacht  charter in St. Lucia, visit Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens. These  gardens are in bloom year round because of the perfect growing  conditions on the island. You can see a variety of tropical flowers,  trees, and bushes while visiting. Then if you have time, take a nature  hike to the Diamond Waterfall or visit the spa on site for a relaxed  afternoon treat.

The other main outdoor attraction you should visit on your St. Lucia  sailing vacation is Pigeon Island National Park. This park features  walking trails, military ruins dating back to the 1600s, stunning  beaches and a local restaurant where you can try the local food and  drink. Of course, as a famed sailing destination, St. Lucia has plenty  of places where you can reserve boat trips, go ziplining, rent a kayak,  or do just about anything else your islander heart desires.

Nearby Islands

St. Lucia is right in the middle of the Windward Islands. This  part of the Caribbean is very close to South America, and rests just  above the equator, making a perfect place for sailing all throughout the  year. It is warm and winds are strong, and the islands here are close  enough to visit each one during your private yacht charter vacation. St.  Lucia is surrounded by three other main islands, all within a day or  two’s sailing trip from the 12 Knots port at the Rodney Bay Marina.

Sailing south of St. Lucia you will eventually meet Saint Vincent.  This island is surrounded by several underwater volcanoes, and the  inland is covered in tropical rainforest. The beaches here are unique,  because the sand is unlike most other islands in the Caribbean. It is  95% black, because the sand originates from the volcanic rock basalt.  St. Vincent is a wonderful place to explore the jungles or take a nap on  the hot sand.

To the north is Martinique, an island of heavy French influence. When  walking down the streets of Martinique, you’ll likely see the latest  fashions from the Paris runways, and smell pastries and fine French  cuisine from the local bistros. However, this island hasn’t lost its  true flavor, as you can find delicious seafood almost anywhere on the  island. Like many of the Caribbean islands, St. Lucia specializes in  spiced seafood and unique dishes with parallels to African and Indian  cuisine. Many sailors’ favorite part of visiting St. Lucia during a  yacht charter is savoring the local food and meeting with the islanders  to learn about their unique lifestyle.

If you sail southwest, you will find Barbados. This beautiful island  of the Lesser Antilles is home to a variety of foods, flora, and fun  activities that your whole crew will enjoy. The island has many  different festivals throughout the year, and several outdoor excursions  including beach horseback riding, swimming with sea turtles, and  explorations through the island’s jungles and beach gardens.

Motor Yacht Charters in St. Lucia

12 Knots Yachting Club offers sailing boats, catamarans, and  crewed yachts for those who want to explore and enjoy St. Lucia. Whether  you’re looking for a short, hassle-free sailing vacation or are looking  for a challenge to test your skill, 12 Knots has a charter perfect for  you. 12 Knots offers several different sailing and motor yachts, each  with optional amenities including crew assistance and watersport  equipment rentals.

St. Lucia is a great place for beginner and advanced sailors alike.  The weather is governed by the northeast trade winds. The best time for  sailing is in the beginning of the year, from December to May, because  the rain showers and thunderstorms are less prevalent. The rainy season  lasts typically from June until November. Because of its proximity to  the equator, temperatures in St. Lucia hover around 29 °C (84.2 °F) year  round. In the wintertime the northeast trade winds travel at a steady  10 knots to a livelier 25 knots in the summer. Wind speed and strength  increases as you reach the northern ends of the islands.

We recommend beginners plan their trip during the winter or spring,  as summer and fall may be too windy or rainy for a novice to want to  venture. However, temperatures are perfect year round and no matter when  you choose to visit, St. Lucia will have a unique adventure waiting for  you. 12 Knots helps you plan your trip, making it an easy sailing  experience filled with luxury and laughter. We offer luxury as well as  bareboat yachts, and motorboats and yachts for those less experienced in  sailing. However, if learning to sail interests you (especially after  taking your first Caribbean sailing vacation), 12 Knots Yachting Club  has a sailing school, where you can learn the ropes of exploring the  open ocean.

12 Knots invites you to book a yacht charter and explore St. Lucia  with us. Our charter fleet of sailing yachts are perfect for families,  friends, or solo travelers. We offer affordable weeklong trips, where  you can be guided to the best destinations in and around St. Lucia, or  venture off on your own into the Caribbean Sea. From small bareboat  vessels to grand luxury yachts, 12 Knots has everything you’re looking  for. Meet us at the Rodney Bay Marina for the St. Lucia vacation of a  lifetime.

Jewel of the Windwards

St. Lucia is like no other Caribbean island. Here you’ll sail a backdrop of lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, soaring peaks, and hidden beaches, anchor in colorful harbors, and wake to the symphony of birdsong every morning. St. Lucia, ‘The Jewel of the Windwards’, offers a sailing vacation you won’t soon forget.

You’ll find open water passages perfect for exploring St. Vincent, the Grenadines, and Martinique. Take it easy with line-of-sight sailing or up the adrenaline with exhilarating longer passages. In the winter you’ll have exciting sailing, while the summer months offer smooth waters.

Set sail from Rodney Bay with the dramatic twin Pitons as your backdrop, heading south to St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

From our base in Rodney Bay, there are many places to sail depending on the type of sailing holiday you’re looking for. Our suggested itinerary is available, or you can tailor your route. 

Sailing St. Lucia gives us a unique perspective of this stunning Caribbean Island. From your yacht, you can dive into lush, warm water, see stunning sunrises and explore all the island has to offer. Soak in the warm Caribbean sun whilst admiring this island’s dramatic jungle peaks and golden-white beaches.

For Families

Our base at Rodney Bay is a great starting point, especially for families as it offers a well-protected harbor that provides calm sheltered waters – ideal for younger children. From here you can explore Pigeon Island National Park or take part in watersports. From here you can sail to the tranquil Marigot Bay.

For Couples

Sunset views and beachfront dining is almost a given in St.Lucia and surrounding islands, however, the below are the most idyllic couples spots (in our opinion). 

• Marigot Bay is also a wonderful destination for couples on a romantic getaway , as it is more tranquil and private than Rodney Bay. There are also several waterfront bars and restaurants for delicious, romantic meals out and a cocktail with a view. The sunset view from your yacht will include a backdrop of the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea, and watching the waterfront restaurants light up as the sun goes down, a truly magical experience.  
• Kearton’s Bay in St.Vincent is a hidden gem with spectacular black volcanic sand and a more intimate dinner setting.
• Princess Margaret Beach in Bequia is known for its iconic beach bar, and its beach is capped with soft golden sands and azure waters that create the ultimate romantic retreat.

For First-Time Sailors

Rodney Bay is a protected and tranquil harbor, perfect for those new to sailing vacations and first-time sailors. 

If looking to sail St.Lucia, we do require you to have at least 20 days of experience (or 400 miles) as a skipper on an equivalent-sized yacht (level 3 sailing experience), which can be obtained through our sailing school . 

However, If you are a complete novice sailor, we do offer skippered yacht charters which means you’ll have a skipper onboard to sail you around the island.

The bay’s social atmosphere, proximity to amenities and scenic mountain trails offer a unique holiday experience for each individual and enhance the experience of a large gatherings charter around St. Lucia.

St. Lucia is a Caribbean paradise, an island where natural wonders meet cultural richness and heritage and pristine beaches. There are a plethora of things to do in St. Lucia, from exploring the twin volcanic peaks (Pitons), discovering their sulfur springs, or experiencing the first-ever drive-in volcano. 

We understand that between the unique geographic experiences that St.Lucia offers and the culture, dining experiences, and coastal views – it may be hard to know where to start. So we have summarised our favorite things to do in St. Lucia, below.

Jalousie Dock is home to Sugar Beach, a resort known for its luxury cabanas, poolside bars, and snorkeling in a National Marine Reserve. This beachfront is nestled into a cove at the base of the Pitons, providing remarkable views and serenity. 

Whilst docked close to the Pitons, we highly recommend a trek up the mountains, and treating yourself to a famed ‘Saint Lucian Mud Bath’, for an invigorating experience in volcanic mud, which will leave your skin soft and glowing.

If you’re into snorkeling or diving, you must visit Tobago Cays, this Caribbean gem offers an unparalleled diving experience ideal for all ages and levels. 

It would also be criminal to visit St. Lucia and not explore the trails up the Pitons: whether you choose to explore Gros Piton or Petit Piton, is entirely up to you! The summit from both peaks offers panoramic views of the island and looks out across the spectacular Caribbean Sea

Recent reviews in saint lucia.

We had a wonderful afternoon as sea and in Soufriere with Nico and Marlin. They were so patient with our party crew, fixed an amazing lunch while we were touring the volcano and waterfall, and even caught a Bonita off the back of the boat trolling. They kept the cooler stocked and our drinks full! We had a wonderful time and would certainly recommend!

Captain Nico and crew were very accommodating with great communication both before and after our sail. Thanks again for a great day!

Captain and crew were extremely friendly. Had a great time on the water and learned so much about the island.

April, 2024

My wife and I use the services of Captain Jerome during our vacation in St. Lucia. Even before our arrival communication with him was prompt and accurate. We felt welcome and safe from the minute we met him. His assistant Kami was very helpful too and explained to us see sight as we cruise along the coast. We decided not to do the land tour so we had 3 spots to snorkel plus some time in Sugar Beach between the Pitons to have lunch and enjoy the beach. The lunch we picked up at a local spot in Soufriere as per the captain recommendation and it was yummy. He also had water, soda, beer plus a great rum punch ( he made) throughout the trip. The day with Captain Jerome was definitely the highlight of our vacation in St. Lucia.

March, 2024

I can't say enough good things about our trip with Jerome and Kris! They were top notch from the moment they picked us up to when the dropped us off. Everything was exactly as promised and then some. They were very flexible and accommodating. We enjoyed their company and conversation as much as the journey. We will definitely use them again if we make it back to St. Lucia. Highly recommended!

February, 2024

A MUST DO! St Lucia is a very beautiful, diverse Island and thanks to Jerome and Chris we saw a lot of it’s offerings. The tour exceeded our expectations. As a group of 9, they managed us well and made it memorable for each one of us. You will not be disappointed!

Should I charter a motor or sailing yacht in St. Lucia?

The choice between chartering a motor yacht or a sailing yacht in St. Lucia depends on your personal preferences, budget, and the type of experience you’re seeking. Both options have advantages, so consider the type of cruising experience you’re after. 

If you enjoy the serenity and experience of sailing, a sailing yacht can provide an authentic and peaceful journey through the Caribbean waters. Sailing yachts offer a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere, so you can enjoy the sound of the wind and waves while taking in the scenic beauty of St. Lucia. 

Motor yachts, however, offer greater speed and convenience, allowing you to cover more ground in less time. This can be advantageous if you have a tight itinerary or want to visit multiple locations in a shorter period. Many motor yachts also have luxurious amenities, spacious cabins, and a high comfort level. If you prefer a more lavish experience, a motor yacht might be the way to go.

Other types of boats can be rented for day trips in St. Lucia and surrounding areas. These could include a bareboat charter, a skippered yacht charter, and catamarans.

What is the best time for a luxury yacht charter in St. Lucia?

St. Lucia enjoys pleasant weather year-round, but the high season runs from December to April. This is the most popular time for luxury yacht charters in St. Lucia, as the weather is consistently beautiful, with warm temperatures, low humidity, and minimal rainfall. The calm sea conditions and gentle trade winds make it an ideal time for sailing. However, this popularity means that charter prices can be higher, and there might be limited availability, so booking well in advance is advisable. 

During the shoulder season (October and March to April), charterers can still enjoy beautiful conditions with fewer crowds. While there may be occasional showers, the overall weather is typically favorable.

The low season (May to October) falls within the hurricane season, so there’s a higher risk of tropical storms and hurricanes. While it’s the least crowded and least expensive time for charters, it is essential to monitor weather forecasts closely if you choose to charter during these months.

Where can I embark on my charter yacht in St. Lucia?

Rodney bay marina.

One of the most popular marinas for yacht charters in St. Lucia is well-equipped with amenities, including restaurants, bars, and provisioning services. It’s also conveniently located in the island’s northern part, with Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) and George F.L. Charles Airport (SLU) nearby.

Marigot Bay Marina Village

Marigot Bay is a beautiful and tranquil spot for yacht charters. The marina offers stunning views and a range of services, including restaurants and bars.

Castries Harbor

St. Lucia’s capital, Castries, offers a harbor where some charters may begin. It’s conveniently located for those arriving by air and wanting to embark in the capital.

What sets a St. Lucia yacht charter apart from other Caribbean destinations?

The natural beauty of St. Lucia truly knows no bounds. St. Lucia’s west coast is where you will find the island’s most beautiful beaches, including the lengthy panorama of Reduit and the southerly Anse Chastanet. The Ti Kaye Resort & Spa is not far from there, a resort you can visit by superyacht and step ashore for a luxurious spa treatment. Wellness is a top priority on the island of St. Lucia. Other spa options include the Rainforest Spa at Sugar Beach, located right between the Pitons and the Marigot Bay Spa Village. The latter is located in a beautiful bay, where the deep water turns from jade to gold as the sun sets, and the sound of tree frogs and music ricochets across the water from Hurricane Hole – Marigot Bay’s best bar.

St. Lucia is famous for its iconic twin peaks, the Pitons, which rise dramatically from the sea. These UNESCO World Heritage-listed landmarks provide a stunning backdrop for your yacht charter and offer excellent hiking and diving opportunities. The islands’ volcanic past has created unique attractions, such as the Sulphur Springs mud baths and the drive-in volcano. These experiences are distinctive to the island and make it a bucket-list destination for seasoned travelers.

What is the official language of St. Lucia?

The official language of Saint Lucia is English. English serves as the primary language for government, education, business, and everyday communication on the island. While there may be various local dialects spoken informally among the population, English is the language of instruction in schools and is widely understood and spoken by the majority of residents.  

What can I expect from the weather on a St. Lucia yacht charter vacation?

On a yacht charter vacation in St. Lucia, you can expect warm and tropical weather for much of the year, providing ideal conditions for sailing and exploring the island’s stunning coastline. Here’s what you can generally expect from the weather:

• Temperature : St. Lucia enjoys warm temperatures year-round, with average highs ranging from the mid-80s to low 90s Fahrenheit (around 29-32 degrees Celsius). Evenings are usually pleasantly mild, with temperatures dropping to the mid-70s Fahrenheit (around 24 degrees Celsius).
• Rainfall : St. Lucia has a distinct wet season and dry season. The wet season typically runs from June to November, with increased rainfall and occasional tropical showers.

Reasons to Visit St Lucia

The bold and the beautiful.

St Lucia’s beauty is always dramatic. When you’ve had your fill of the Caribbean’s gentler attractions, point your Y.CO luxury yacht to this multifaceted volcano-in-the-sea. We’ll show you jungle-clad peaks rearing above idyllic sea and sand at Soufrière. The salt-licked stones of Pigeon Island’s colonial past. The cruising turtles of Le Trou Diable (the Devil’s Hole). Add horse-riding in the salty air of southern beaches. Need more reasons to charter a Y.CO yacht in St Lucia? Read on.

Heroic History on Pigeon Island

St Lucia’s hotly contested history is never more obvious than on Pigeon Island. Once it gave refuge to the 17th-century French pirate François le Clerc. Now it’s a protected National Landmark, connected to the mainland by a causeway. Moor your Y.CO charter in Rodney Bay and steer your tender to shore to explore. Vestiges of British and French squabbles over this strategic site abound. Expect barracks, bastions and breath-taking views.

St Lucia’s Most Photographed Town

Soufrière is seriously scenic. The French ‘capital’ of St Lucia, it’s backed by the achingly photogenic Piton peaks. If fit, tackle 798m Gros Piton, spotting agouti and iguanas among hibiscus and honeysuckle. Jaw-dropping views over the island to far-flung St Vincent are your reward. Seaward, revel in the superfine sands of Sugar Beach. Or brilliant diving off Anse Chastanet. You’ll want to anchor your Y.CO charter here forever.

Pristine Maria Islands Nature Reserve

Peak St Lucian purity. Moor your Y.CO luxury yacht offshore from Vieux Fort, and take your tender to meet your pre-booked tour. Maria Island is a place to tread carefully. The world’s rarest snake, the St Lucia Racer, lives here. So do many endemic flora and fauna, including the pygmy gecko and unique cacti. If cruising over coral with hawksbill turtles is your thing, Maria’s thriving reefs offer sensational snorkelling.

Need to know

Useful Info to Visit

November to May. You’ll miss the rains during these months. And the crowds if you’re here in May. Get your groove on at St Lucia Jazz Festival, also in May.

What to pack

Pack light, sporty and a little stylish. You’ll be set for both St Lucia’s balmy climate and laid-back culture. If you’re the mountaineering type, bring proper shoes!

Atlantic Shores Stables. Settle in your saddle as horse riding on St Lucia’s southern beaches lulls you into bliss. Or perhaps a forest ride overlooking the Pitons sounds more your thing?

Terms and conditions, charter experts, llc terms & conditions.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“ Terms ”) CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS AS WELL AS A SECTION GOVERNING THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF DISPUTES. THESE TERMS ALSO CONTAIN A LEGALLY BINDING RELEASE, WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK. By creating a username, a login, clicking submit, using the services of Charter Experts, LLC d/b/a Virgin Island Sailing® (“ Broker ) or by accessing Broker’s website, you agree that you have read, and acknowledge your acceptance of these Terms. The Terms are subject to change at any time without notice at Broker’s sole discretion. Additionally, any transaction for which you have made payment shall be governed by the form of Terms in effect at the time of such payment notwithstanding any subsequent changes hereto.

If you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring a Charter (as that term is defined in Section 1 below) for more than just yourself, all references below to “Charterer” or “you” (and derivations thereof) shall be read to mean you on behalf of yourself and each individual within your group for whom you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring Charter.

These Terms shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer. To the extent they cannot be so construed, then in the event of any direct conflict between these Terms and any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer (including but not limited to the agreement executed by Charterer for a Charter Reservation (as that term is defined in Section 1 below), these Terms shall prevail.

• Prepaid Charter Reservations . Typically, Broker negotiates charter rates in advance with the yacht owner or charter company (“ Charter Provider ”) to obtain cost-effective rates, and facilitate reservations and availability for yacht charters, excursions and travel (the “ Charter ”). Broker also provides services to you by facilitating the booking of reservations for consideration and receives a commission from the Charter Provider (the “ Broker Fee ”). The Broker Fee is included in the pre-negotiated Charter rate provided to you, plus taxes and other fees where applicable. You agree that your payment is for the total amount set forth in the applicable Charter agreement (which Charter Provider may refer to as a Charter Contract, Charter Agreement, Booking Terms & Conditions, Instructions and Terms for Accommodations, as well as other derivations) provided to you by Broker (“ Charter Agreement ”). Upon execution of the Charter Agreement and receipt of the applicable deposit, you will have made a reservation for the Charter that authorizes Broker to facilitate the Charter on your behalf (“Charter Reservation”), including making payment arrangements with the Charter Provider. You further agree that Broker is a third-party beneficiary to the Charter Agreement and shall have the right to enforce such agreement to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder or under the Charter Agreement.

  Broker retains the Broker Fee as compensation in arranging your Charter Reservation. The Broker Fee varies based on the amount and type of Charter and/or services provided by Broker.  By making a Charter Reservation, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Charter Provider set forth in the Charter Agreement. Cancellation and no-show policies vary for each Charter. Carefully read the Charter Agreement and additional information provided to you by Broker. It is expressly agreed by Charterer that the Broker Fee is earned at the time the Charter Reservation is made. Late payment, wrong credit card or debit card details, invalid credit or debit cards, or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account, and you will not be entitled to any refund of any prepaid amount unless the Charter Provider expressly agrees otherwise under the Charter Agreement or in some other signed writing.

• Charter Rules and Restrictions . Additional terms and agreements will apply to your Charter Reservation and any purchase or rental of equipment or other items, supplies, provisions and travel you may select. Please read those additional terms carefully. In particular, if you have purchased airfare, please ensure that you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the supplier. You agree to abide by the terms of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including but not limited to payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier’s rules and restrictions regarding availability, charges, fares, and use of products and services.
• Payment . All payments must be made by personal check, bank/wire transfer, ACH payment and/or with a major credit card unless otherwise expressly stated. The total price for the Charter Reservation will be billed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a reservation from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the amount provided by Broker for the Charter Reservation. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the financial institution that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the financial institution or card company. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your financial institution on the day that it processes the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your financial institution. Broker shall not be liable to you for any such service, conversion, or exchange fee.

  Broker expressly reserves the right to cancel your Charter Reservation if full payment is not timely received as set forth in the Charter Agreement.

• Cancellation and Rescheduling . You may cancel or change your Charter Reservation as set forth in the Charter Agreement by and among you, the Charter Provider and/or Broker. Please note that some Charter Providers do not permit changes to or cancellation of reservations after they are made, or after a certain date, as indicated in the Charter Agreement. You agree to abide by the terms of the Charter Agreement with respect to your Charter Reservation. Broker will not be responsible for reimbursing Charterer for any previously tendered deposits or payments by Charterer and disclaims all liability for the failure of a Charter Provider to refund or return any such funds.
• Credit Card Transactions and Chargebacks . If for any reason, any Charter Provider is unable to provide the Charter, or any part thereof, for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Charter Provider, and not against Broker. However, Broker will use reasonable efforts to assist you and Charter Provider in reaching a resolution to a dispute between you and the Charter Provider. In the event that your payment has already been transferred from Broker to Charter Provider or to an escrow account, you agree that you will not seek a chargeback against Broker for such amounts transferred. You further agree to indemnify and hold Broker harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Broker may incur in connection with chargebacks against Broker or under the Charter Agreement and your performance thereunder. If Broker incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company or other financial institution, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If your payment is declined for any reason, you agree to settle any amounts owed to Broker via money order, cashier’s check, personal check or bank/ACH transfer immediately.
• Broker Responsibility . Broker makes arrangements with the Charter Provider. Broker additionally makes additional arrangements with other suppliers for the various components and other services that comprise your Charter (“Charter Suppliers”). Broker is not an agent of these Charter Providers or the Charter Suppliers (and the Charter Providers and Charter Suppliers are not agents of Broker). Broker expressly disclaims any liability for the actions or omissions of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. The Charter Providers and the Charter Suppliers reserve the right to refuse service to you at their sole discretion. Broker assumes no liability for the acts of the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers in refusing service. Broker is not responsible for schedule changes and does not offer compensation for those changes. Broker is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer, in connection with sea, air or ground transportation, hotel accommodations, or other travel or excursion services arranged by Broker.

  You understand Broker is not the source or supplier of the Charter or other travel services you requested and acts solely as a broker for the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. You agree that the Charter Provider and Charter Suppliers whose names appear in the information supplied to you are those who are solely responsible for providing the Charter you purchase. You consent to and request the use of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers and agree to not hold Broker responsible should any of them: (i) fail to provide the Charter or travel services you purchased, whether or not such services are listed in the Charter Agreement or otherwise, (ii) fail to comply with any applicable law, or (iii) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes you any sort of injury, damage, delay or inconvenience.

By using Broker’s services, you waive and release any claim against Broker, its affiliated and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents, arising out of or in connection with any loss of or damage to property or injury to any person caused by reason of (i) any defect, negligence, or other wrongful act or omission, or any failure of performance of any kind, by any Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, or any other provider of sea, airline, hotel, ground transportation or any other travel provider connected to or otherwise associated with the Charter, (ii) any claim for inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, mental distress or other similar claim, (iii) any delayed departure, missed connection, substitute accommodation, termination of service or change in fares or rates, and (iv) overbooking, flight or other travel cancellation, lost or misconnected personal property, or any claim arising out of the air transportation portion of your travel, and (v) or any other claim arising out of or otherwise related to the Charter Agreement or services provided by the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers.

Excepting only liability that directly arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Broker, you will not hold Broker responsible for any injury, damage or loss you may suffer while on a Charter, whether incurred on the Charter or in connection with any other rental, purchase, excursion or activity, regardless of the relationship of any of the foregoing with the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers.

ST LUCIA CATAMARAN RENTALS St lucia crewed yacht charters. that will best suit your needs and budget.. '); SUGGESTED ST. LUCIA SAILING ITINERARIES Luxury Yacht Charters in St Lucia Lush rainforest, natural water-falls and breath-taking views, luxury yacht charters in st lucia, cruising in st lucia. A St. Lucia sailing itinerary has many possibilities. You could spend the entire week in St. Lucia waters enjoying leisurely sails and sojourns ashore. Or, you can combine open-water sailing with pleasant days of short passages between islands to swim, snorkel, and experience the culture and ambience of the smaller isles in the Grenadines, just south of St. Vincent. Forming the eastern border of the Caribbean Sea, the Windward Islands’ north-south orientation means the winds will be on the beam more often than not when heading south. This is ideal for fast sailing on the longer passages between some of the islands. Yachts typically arrive into Rodney Bay, a safe and tranquil lagoon on the north side of the island. To the south lies the capital city of Castries, a bustling, historic center, and then, along the southwest coast, lie small, traditional fishing villages and Soufrière, the oldest town on the island, which is at the heart of an area of hidden beaches and old banana plantations. What you need to know Laderna Hotel is perfect for location for an afternoon cocktail with breath-taking views of the Pitons . Don’t forget your camera! Marigot Bay is one of the prettiest in the Caribbean and a beautiful setting in which to join your yacht. It’s for this reason the bay was chosen as a set for the 1967’s Musical “Doctor Dolittle”. Rodney Bay is a yachting hub with excellent marine facilities, shopping and restaurants, however it is a long 2 hour drive from the International Airport along a windy bumpy road – the west coast of St Lucia is best traveled by water. English is St. Lucia’s official language, but most St. Lucians speak Kwéyòl—a French-based Creole language—and often use it for informal conversations among themselves. The currency of the Eastern Caribbean dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a rate of EC$2.67 to US$1. U.S. currency is accepted almost everywhere on the island, but you’ll get change in local currency. It’s helpful to have some local currency if you plan to shop in smaller markets or ride buses. Often referred to as “the world’s only drive-in volcano,” the belching mountain near Soufrière emits more gas than lava. Remember to hold your nose to protect yourself from the overpowering rotten egg smell. St. Lucia Distillers, which produces the island’s own Bounty and Chairman’s Reserve rums, offers 90-minute Rhythm of Rum tours that cover the history of sugar, the background of rum, a detailed description of the distillation process, colorful displays of local architecture, a glimpse at a typical rum shop, Caribbean music, and a chance to sample the company’s rums and liqueurs. St Lucia’s splendid Botanical gardens are part of Soufrière Estate, a 2,000-acre land grant presented by King Louis XIV in 1713 to three Devaux brothers from Normandy in recognition of their services to France. The estate is still owned by their descendants; Joan DuBouley Devaux maintains the gardens. Bushes and shrubs bursting with brilliant flowers grow beneath towering trees and line pathways that lead to a natural gorge. The lush mountainous rainforests provide some of the finest hiking and bird watching in the Caribbean. Visit Mount Soufriere volcano or relax in the soothing warm waters at the Diamond Baths . A favored first stop for those traveling St. Lucia’s waters is at the Pitons . These iconic peaks rise more than 2,000 feet from the sea. Gros Piton and the smaller Petit Piton have been named a World Heritage Site and are stunning sites when arriving by sea. The Pitons make one of the most atmospheric and beautiful anchorages to stay over-night – especially on a full moon! Just off the west coast near Rodney Bay is Pigeon Island , home of St. Lucia’s Jazz Festival and a remarkable museum documenting the island’s history from the Caribs, through the French and British colonial era to the present. On the east coast of the island, visitors should not miss the Mamiku Gardens , fifteen acres of lovely winding pathways and carefully planted spaces with everything from exotic plants to medicinal herbs and banana trees. St Lucia – Yacht Charter Highlights Breathtaking Volcanic Pitons Sublime white sandy beaches “Rhythm of Rum” Acres of tropical gardens  planning your yacht charter in st lucia. A crewed yacht charter is the ultimate indulgence – for some a once in life-time experience, for others a yearly ritual exploring new locations and exciting destinations only accessible by boat. Along with the captain we’ll assist in planning a comprehensive itinerary prior to your charter based on your interests and requests, as well as pointing out the “must sees” in the area. St Lucia is within easy reach of the UK and US / Canada with daily international flights. Choosing A Luxury Yacht & Crew Once we have discussed your preferences in detail we will present selections of online yacht brochures with photos, menus and crew details and will continue to do so until we find the perfect match for you in terms of size, style & budget. If you have firm dates in mind we’ll confirm availability with the owner and place a courtesy hold on your dates whilst your charter agreement is prepared and signed. It’s a good idea to have a second choice in mind, especially for busy holiday periods when yachts book up quickly. We recommend booking your charter at least six months in advance to ensure that we secure your preferred yacht. Some of the most sought after yachts will book one year in advance for certain weeks or events. It is always possible to accommodate last minute bookings however we do recommend booking as early as possible to avoid disappointment. The high season runs from mid-December through mid-April and during the annual St. Lucia Jazz and Carnival events. December and January are the coolest months, and June through August are the hottest. Substantial rain (more than just a tropical spritz) is more likely from June through November. In April, the St. Lucia Golf Open is an amateur tournament at the St. Lucia Golf Resort & Country Club in Cap Estate. St. Lucia Jazz in early May is the year’s big event; during that week, you may have trouble finding a hotel room at any price, however a yacht charter is an excellent option & the festival could be a great start or end to your yacht charter. The St. Lucia Bill fishing Tournament, which attracts anglers from far and wide, is held in late September or early October. Planning a sailing vacation in the Caribbean ?
