The catamaran slips away from the reef-fringed shore and the western coast of Saint Lucia unfurls: vertical green cliffs, flashes of reef below, and the Pitons rising like twin challenges on the horizon.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sunscreen is required to protect coral—choose a mineral, reef-safe formula and reapply after swimming.
Pack a light wind layer
Even on warm days the trade winds can be cool on a catamaran; a thin jacket keeps you comfortable.
Take seasickness prevention early
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication at least an hour before departure—the mid-morning swell is usually mild.
Use water shoes for beach access
Anse L’Ivrogne has rocky fringes in spots; water shoes make getting on and off the sand easier.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects coral and reduces sunburn during open-water snorkeling and beach time.
Personal snorkel mask
Provided gear is available, but a personal mask ensures fit and comfort underwater.
Light wind shell
Blocks cooling trade winds on the exposed deck during the cruise.
Water shoes
Useful for rocky beach entries and protecting feet on reefs and shoreline approaches.
