St Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. One of the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles, it is located midway down the Eastern Caribbean chain, between Martinique and St. Vincent, and north of Barbados. Mountainous and lush, this jewel of the Windwards is a place of natural wonders where you are greeted with warm hospitality. It's a volcanic island where the twin peaks of The Pitons rise over 2,000 feet at the water's edge. Further inland, the rain forests shelter wild orchids, giant ferns and birds of paradise. You can visit Soufriére, the world's only drive-in volcano, or relax in the earth's rejuvenating heat in the pools at Diamond Baths. And spend an evening in Marigot Bay, one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean. Just when you tire of palm-fringed beaches, secluded anchorages and dive sites in every direction, there's the incredible Friday night "jump-up" at Gros Islet on Rodney Bay.
Saint Lucia offers all the types of yacht charter such as bareboat charter, skippered, crewed yacht charter, catamaran, sailboat and luxury yachts charter.
