Jewel of the Windwards

St. Lucia is like no other Caribbean island. Here you’ll sail a backdrop of lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, soaring peaks and hidden beaches, anchor in colorful harbours and wake to the symphony of birdsong every morning. St. Lucia, ‘The Jewel of the Windwards’, offers a sailing vacation you won’t soon forget. 

No matter which side of the island you end up on, a St. Lucia sailing vacation offers superb sailing conditions thanks to year-round sun and varied seasonal winds. You’ll find open water passages perfect for exploring St. Vincent, the Grenadines and Martinique. Take it easy with line-of-sight sailing or up the adrenaline with exhilarating longer passages. In the winter you’ll have exciting sailing, while the summer months offer smooth waters.

Set sail from Rodney Bay with the dramatic twin Pitons as your backdrop, heading south to St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Explore tranquil Bequia, just eight miles south of St. Vincent, where you’ll find an island steeped in maritime history. Head for the stunning Tobago Cays, where you’ll find a clutch of deserted islets with some of the best diving and snorkelling in the Grenadines. Spend your mornings lounging on the dazzling powder-white sands and snorkelling the warm, shallow waters, before ordering barbecued lobster from a local boat vendor to enjoy in the shade of a swaying palm.

What Guests are Saying

Sunsail Monohull
williamgJ6628JD Agana

“The flotilla was the right call for us as we had never been here before. It took the stress out of finding a dock, getting there in time and getting around the harbors. The sun, weather, winds were wonderful. We never motored. Provisioning was a short walk. The food, sights and people were amazing. We all (8) had a memorable experience. Made some friends on the other boats. I would come back here and do this all over again in a hearbeat.”

“i have a group of sailing friends and we have been doing a bareboat charters around the world together each year for the last 20 years.
this year we went to Sunsail: Antigua
first let me talk about the base – nelson’s dock yard is a wonderful, protected landing and a nice place to start and end the journey – interesting things to see, easy access to stores to provision and buy souvenirs, lots of fun restaurants to try. the team at sunsail put the boat on and off the dock before handing the boat over (kind of like having a pilot coming into a major harbor), so while our crew may have enjoyed the challenge, we were also fine not having the drama of docking a boat we did not have a lot of experience with.
next antigua – plenty of great sailing detinations – the winds and weather did not disappoint. lots of easy to navigate to anchorages…..just easy and fun and interesting.
the boat – we had a Sunsail 44 with a 4 cabin layout. it was in good working order, clean, intelligently laid out and sailed very nicely. one of the nicest roomiest monohulls for its size.
the team at Sunsail – the team at the base were friendly and helpful and professional. there is a lot more paperwork and explicit focus on safety then in the old days. however the team was thorough in their boat and map briefing and didn’t rush it and took our followup questions and made us comfortable. we enjoyed their smile and enthusiasm seeing us start our charter and their smiles and help winding things up.
another great holiday – thanks Sunsail.”

“Anja was our skipper,very well organized and neat.We were well informed of everything all the time.She even helped with restaurant reservations ect.The boat is very small and I would suggest 1 couple in the 3 room boat.”

“We just came back from a week flotilla in Croatia. Our lead crew was amazing, Esme was on hand for bookings, Fraser welcomed us into every dock showing remarkable patience when the boys line throwing went wrong and Miha visited every night to check on all things technical”
