St Lucia yacht charter at 125,000 euros per week places a 38 to 48 metre motor or sailing yacht at your disposal, crewed by five or six professionals and capable of accommodating up to eight guests in well-appointed cabins. The island is one of the Eastern Caribbean’s most dramatic destinations, rising steeply from the sea with verdant rainforest, volcanic peaks and clear, warm water. Sailing yachts particularly shine in St Lucia, where reliable trade winds and a natural sailing circuit down the west coast make passages genuinely pleasurable. Motor yachts offer beam-wide sun decks and the range to explore more freely. The 125,000 euro weekly fee covers the yacht and crew for seven nights. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 37,500 euros covers fuel, food, wine, berthing and incidentals. Total spend for a St Lucia week at this level falls between 160,000 and 175,000 euros. December through April is peak season. The island is less in demand at Christmas than St Barts, which occasionally means better availability at late notice. Itineraries typically begin in Rodney Bay at the north of the island and sail south, passing Marigot Bay and Anse Cochon before anchoring in Soufrière Bay beneath the Pitons. Anse Chastanet is the best snorkelling anchorage on the west coast, with coral gardens directly accessible from the beach. Sugar Beach below the Pitons is a beautiful lunch stop accessible by tender.
