Spend a day sailing St. Lucia’s west coast aboard a catamaran—snorkel warm reefs, see the Pitons from the water, and walk through the Caribbean’s only drive-in volcano. Practical, scenic, and ideal for photographers and casual sailors.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips away from the marina and the island horizon stretches wide: blue Caribbean, a slow parade of palm-lined bays, and then the Pitons rising like dark cliffs out of the sea—over 2,000 feet (about 600 m) and visible from every deck.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Coral reef protection is important—use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply before getting back in the water.
Prepare for boat motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding; open-deck sails can be breezy and choppy at times.
Pack light for shore stops
A small dry bag with towel, ID, and cash is handy for short walks at Sulphur Springs and Toraille Waterfall.
Confirm pickup location
Hotel pickup is included for North Island hotels only—south island guests should arrange transport to the marina in advance.

Protects your skin and local coral when swimming and snorkeling.
Swimsuit & quick-dry towel
Needed for snorkel stops and swimming from the boat.
Light waterproof jacket
Wind and spray on deck can be cool, especially if trade winds pick up.
