More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step onto the 31‑foot powerboat at Vigie Marina and feel the Caribbean breeze push you west toward the Pitons. The water opens up in sheets of turquoise; cliffs slide past and palms lean to watch as the captain eases you into a relaxed rhythm. The crew stocks an open bar and snacks, then points to a sheltered cove where the anchor drops and the sea dares you to dive in.
