Marigot Bay is one of Saint Lucia's most impressive gems. It's a picture postcard image, with velvety green hills undulating until they meet the palm-fringed bay, with white yachts floating on the blue waters. The harbor is steeped in history, and it's said that this is where the British fleet hid from French eyes using palm trees and deep sapphire waters. As Marigot Bay is incredibly well sheltered, it's a quiet place to hide out during hurricane season. Nearby luxury resorts offer relaxed and delicious spa treatments, divine meals and classy cocktails when you want to get the sand out of your hair. Just thirty minutes from the beach, you'll find the capital Castries, bursting with culture. On the way back to Marigot Bay, the Roseau River is the perfect place for kayaking through the mangroves.
Secluded, gentle and considered one of the best places for diving and snorkeling, Anse Cochon is a must for charter guests sailing the spectacular coastline of Saint Lucia. With the center of Castries just over ten kilometers away, this beach is ideally situated with all the elements of city life, the mountains and the lullaby of the sea as a backdrop. With its golden sands, straight, simple coastline and trees offering a natural respite from the Caribbean sun, it's easy to spend hours on Anse Cochon. For active travelers, there's no shortage of water sports: jet skis, kayaks and access to nearby snorkeling sites.
Beneath the peaks, Soufrière is one of our most memorable destinations. Located on the west coast and with a front row seat to the Pitons, Soufrière illustrates the enigmatic relationship between Mother Nature and the place where man has made his home. The town itself is a tangle of colonial architecture and painted boats in the bay. There's a collection of shacks and boutiques serving and selling all manner of delicacies, as well as sandy beaches where you can relax with a brand-name rum in hand. The surrounding cocoa plantations, still in operation, add to the fragrance of the salty air and geothermal activity. As Soufrière is nestled in the caldera of an ancient volcano, the area abounds with mineral baths, fumaroles and mud pots, lush trails and waterfalls.
One of Saint Lucia's most emblematic sites is the double spire of the Bay of Pitons. A masterpiece of nature, the Bay of the Pitons is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and hiking the Gros Piton is just one of the challenges on the list. There's no better place to admire the spectacle than from the deck of your charter yacht anchored in the Baie des Pitons below.
Draped in a blanket of greenery, the Pitons are volcanic plugs that can be reached by guided hikes, helicopter flights or simply by sailing the bay's blue waters. Nearby, you'll also find the capital of Soufrière, with its charming cottages and colonial architecture, all clustered along the waterfront. All this geothermal activity gives rise to bubbling hot springs and Brigith botanical gardens, while fumaroles hiss and spit and mud baths bubble in the south of town.
For charters seeking natural splendor and authentic pleasures (both man-made and natural), Pitons Bay is a pièce de résistance.
