Saint Lucia is rapidly establishing itself as one of the world's major yachting centres, with the sheer beauty of the island complemented by a wide range of superb facilities catering to all the needs of the international yachting community. The island boasts three world-class marinas in Rodney Bay, Marigot Bay and Soufriere, all of which are official points of entry to the country. Rodney Bay Marina is home to one of the world's premier yachting events - the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), held every December.

Rodney Bay Marina is located at the northwestern tip of the island and is north of the port of Castries. This yacht marina is privately owned and operated by Rodney Bay Marina Ltd, and provides excellent facilities for all categories of yachts. Marigot Bay, another yacht marina of international repute has had the distinction of being used as a location to film several scenes for various movies. Located almost mid-way down the western coast of Saint Lucia and south of Castries, Marigot Bay, is privately owned and operated by Discovery at Marigot Bay. This marina is always very tranquil and is a very safe haven for yachts escaping from turbulent seas during storms in the Caribbean region. Soufriere, referred by many as the tourism capital of Saint Lucia, is home to the world renowned Pitons and drive in volcano. Located on the southwestern coast of Saint Lucia between Marigot Bay and Vieux fort, the port receives some commercial cargo activity but it is best known for cruise and leisure travel. The port has the capability of berthing at anchorage, medium sized cruise ships and can accommodate alongside most yachts and catamarans. The Soufriere Foundation and the Soufriere Marine Management Area manage the port. |
