St. Lucia Yacht Charters

Why Charter a Yacht in St Lucia?

From the exceptional cruising conditions to the opportunity to uncover the wonders of islands only accessible by boat, there are countless reasons why you should charter a yacht in St Lucia. Whether you’re enjoying the sights of your St. Lucia yacht charter from the deck of your boat, in the water, or on land, there is no doubt you will be captivated by your surroundings. 

Historic sites and lush landscapes are the backdrops to beaches suited for swimming, windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Around the island, you will discover natural beauty in places such as Marigot Bay and the stunning Pitons to the south. 

When you’re not cutting through the surf on your yacht, you may want to take advantage of the many sightseeing opportunities on land while hiking, shopping, or simply taking in the scene from a table at a quaint shorefront restaurant. St Lucia is abundant with flora, including wild orchids and giant ferns. Look for the tropical birds while hiking the island’s curving trails and pathways. A popular attraction that shouldn’t be missed is the nearby Soufriére volcano where you can hike to the crater and learn about the volcano’s impact on the island.

Undoubtedly one of the best things about chartering a yacht in St Lucia is that there is something for everyone to fall in love with, whether you’re sailing with family, friends or as a couple. Create your own St Lucia itinerary and experience the island’s magic in your own way, or take inspiration from one of our routes which have been designed to show off St Lucia in all its glory.

Types of Yacht Charter in St Lucia

We are proud to offer several types of yacht charter in St Lucia, each providing something unique that will elevate your idyllic vacation. Will you choose one of our rewarding bareboat yacht charters, hire a skipper or opt for ultimate luxury on a crewed charter?

St Lucia Bareboat Yacht Charters

Embrace the freedom to explore the island’s diverse attractions and sailing routes at your own pace on a St Lucia bareboat charter. With no crew onboard, a bareboat charter ensures uninterrupted relaxation and tranquility, and also allows you to take on the responsibility of skippering one of our world-class yachts.
For sailing enthusiasts, a bareboat charter in St. Lucia also presents a fantastic opportunity to enhance your sailing skills and gain confidence in navigating various conditions. Although we won’t be joining you on board, The Moorings will be there to support you every step of the way, with pre-charter briefings and our 4-hour commitment.

Skippered Yacht Charters in St Lucia

A skippered yacht charter takes the sense of adventure from a bareboat charter, and relaxation from a crewed charter. It truly offers the best of both worlds as you can hire a skipper for all or part of your St Lucia yacht charter. 

This means you can take the helm when you want, still charting your own destiny, but can also spend time with friends or family up on deck and let one of our experienced skippers guide you around the majestic islands.

It is worth noting that there are several different countries represented within the cruising grounds of the Windward Islands and each of them require customs/immigration clearance upon arrival and departure. Fees vary based on the country, yacht, number of passengers, itinerary etc. 

All boat charters in St Lucia with a skipper are encouraged to provide the skipper with an initial $500 at the beginning of their charter. This money will be used to cover costs for customs fees as well as mooring ball fees for the duration of the charter. At the end of the charter the skipper will return any remaining funds along with receipts for all money spent.

All-Inclusive Crewed Yacht Charters in St Lucia

Want to take your St Lucia sailing vacation to the next level? Opting for an all-inclusive crewed yacht charter in St. Lucia ensures a luxurious and stress-free vacation. With a professional crew of skippers, chefs and housekeepers onboard, you can indulge in the utmost comfort, enjoying gourmet meals, personalized itineraries, and attentive care throughout your St Lucia yacht charter.
