The bow cuts a bright, salt-scented line through the Caribbean as the west coast of Saint Lucia unfolds: black volcanic ridges, steep green slopes and the twin silhouettes of Gros and Petit Piton rising like geological bookmarks. On a private half-day charter you move through this landscape at sea level — close enough to feel the spray, far enough to take in the full scale of the peaks.
