St. Lucia Charter Itinerary

St. Lucia Itinerary

St. Lucia Yacht Charter
St Lucia is volcanic and steep, and the Pitons ’ two lava spires rising eight hundred metres straight from the sea ’ are the most recognisable landfall in the Caribbean. The island changed hands between Britain and France fourteen times, which explains both the Creole and the cooking.





The route runs south from there, down through the Grenadines, where the islands shrink and multiply and the water shallows to a colour that looks retouched. It ends on Grenada, which grows nutmeg and cocoa and makes some of the best rum in the region.





Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read St Lucia and the Grenadines; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Marigot Bay

Marigot is a hurricane hole so well hidden that a British admiral is said to have concealed his fleet inside it by dressing the masts with palm fronds. Jade hills close in on three sides. Hike the ridge in the morning for the view down onto the water, then eat on the waterfront and take the first evening slowly.

Day 2

Pigeon Island

Pigeon Island was an island until a causeway joined it to the mainland, and Fort Rodney stands on top ’ the lookout from which the British watched the French fleet at Martinique. Climb it before the heat. Snorkel the volcanic rock below, then a Creole dinner ashore: green fig, saltfish, and pepper sauce used with restraint.

Day 3

The Pitons

Anchor between Gros Piton and Petit Piton, where the seabed drops so steeply the yacht lies almost against the cliff. Climb one if you are serious about it. Otherwise the sulphur springs at Soufriere ’ a drive-in volcano, and the mud bath is precisely what it sounds like. Snorkel the reef beneath the spires.

Day 4

St Vincent & Bequia

Wallilabou still has the film set from Pirates of the Caribbean rotting picturesquely at the water’s edge. See the botanical gardens, the oldest in the western hemisphere, with a breadfruit tree descended from Bligh’s. Then Bequia in the afternoon: a boatbuilding island, unpretentious, and the better for it.

Day 5

Bequia & Mustique

Bequia’s turtle sanctuary was one man’s project for thirty years and is worth an hour. Then Mustique, privately owned, a hundred villas and no hotels to speak of, where Basil’s Bar runs a no-photographs rule that everybody honours. A golf cart, an empty beach, and a rum punch at sunset.

Day 6

Tobago Cays

Five uninhabited cays behind a horseshoe reef, in a marine park that has been properly enforced. Green turtles graze the seagrass in numbers, and you swim among them without a guide or a queue. Climb Petit Bateau for the view across the whole park. A barbecue on the sand, cooked by the crew.

Day 7

Grenada

Grenada smells of nutmeg, which once accounted for a third of the world supply. St George’s is the prettiest harbour town in the Caribbean, a horseshoe of pastel houses around a drowned volcanic crater. Dive the underwater sculpture park, then River Antoine, a rum distillery that has not modernised since 1785.
