Operated by First4Sail · Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia
The Papagayo heels and a spray of Caribbean salt cuts the air as you step on board at the Boardwalk Bar in Rodney Bay. The marina falls away and the island’s volcanic ridge profiles against a clean sky; Pigeon Island slips past like an old fort keeping watch. Wind fills the mainsail, lines hum through winches, and whether you’re trimmed into a sheet or watching from the cockpit, the yacht moves with a purposeful urgency.
challenging.
3 hours.
Should be in good physical condition—able to move on a heeling deck, climb steps, and perform short bursts of manual work.
No prior experience is required; the crew provides hands-on instruction and will supervise anyone taking the helm or working lines.
The yacht is fast and can heel; those prone to seasickness should take preventative medication before boarding and sit in the cockpit where motion is easier to tolerate.
The trip includes professional crew, safety instruction, and water/soft drinks—bring personal sun protection and any medications.
Minimum age is 12; infants must sit on an adult’s lap and all younger participants should be supervised for safety on deck.
