Heart of the West Indies
St. Lucia Sailing Holidays

The stunning St. Lucia is truly at the heart of the West Indies, a collection of archipelagos that float peacefully in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. St. Lucia resides in the Caribbean portion of this region and tourists are drawn every year to the white sand beaches, colourful snorkelling, and excellent seafood cuisine that St. Lucia and the surrounding isles offers. Whether you want to barbecue lobster on the beach at Salt Whistle Bay, interact with sea turtle hatchlings at Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary, or unwind in the thermal hot springs of Piton's Bay, The Big Sail can make sure you get the most out of your charter!

Whilst St. Lucia itself is an incredible holiday destination, we believe the best way to get the most out of your time is by having the ability to explore the surrounding isles as well; such as the beautiful Tobago Cays, famous for having some of the most stunning underwater wildlife in the world! With The Big Sail you will have your own yacht with all the trimmings to make your week as comfortable and fun as possible! You can chose whether you would like a professional skipper and host to take care of you, or just enjoy your privacy with a bareboat charter.

We believe that this route is the best way to see St. Lucia and surrounding islands - but that's just our opinion! As part of the booking process we can design a bespoke itinerary just for you, and we are more than happy to include any special spots you want to see on any days. Enquire today with one of our charter specialists about a sailing holiday around St. Lucia or any of our many other destinations across the world.

This is a great way to dine like the locals, but if you want something more refined there are a variety of restaurants and bars to enjoy.

The luxurious island of Mustique is the Caribbean playground of celebrities from Mick Jagger to Tom Ford and it’s easy to see why!
