St Lucia / Special Interests / Yacht Charters

By James Henderson

St Lucia is certainly a reasonable starting and dropping off point for a sailing trip in the region. A couple of charter companies operate from the island (though most charter operators prefer now prefer to work out of the Grenadines), alongside many crewed charter yachts which base themselves here. The Moorings maintain a small facility at Marigot Bay.

The north of the island, around Rodney Bay, has been a major anchorage for centuries when it was an important naval base. The modern equivalent, the Rodney Bay Marina, offers all the necessary marine services, from a shower to rigging repair. There are also services in Marigot Bay and anchorages with buoys up and down the Caribbean coast, including Anse la Raye and Canaries. There is a small mooring fee in these bays. There are ports of entry in Rodney Bay, Castries, Marigot Bay and Vieux Fort. All yachts must report to Customs and Immigration before anyone disembarks.
