St Lucia Flotilla

Overview

This amazing two week flotilla is perfect for the more adventurous sailor. Starting from our northwest base at Rodney Bay you will cruise south to St Lucia's most well-known landmark "The Pitons", where you will spend your first night before embarking on your first major sail down to Bequia, which opens up the rest of the Windward Islands.
This Flotilla really encapsulates what is best about the Caribbean and includes visits to St. Vincent, Mayrou, Canouan, Union Island, Mustique and the unmissable Tobago Cays – some of the finest sailing grounds in the Caribbean. From the lush, volcanic heights of St Vincent, to the underwater playground of the world-famous Tobago Cays, the opportunities for adventure and discovery are unrivalled. Although St. Lucia has a population of about 160,000, its expansive banana plantations, picturesque hamlets, and beautiful harbours are more reminiscent of the Caribbean when it was less developed.

Sailing in St. Lucia

St Lucia is the ideal sailing holiday destination, with outstanding sailing conditions and consistent trade winds, combined with spectacular scenery and plenty of beautiful shetlered ports and bays. Not only is St Lucia the perfect destination, but the surrounding islands of Mustique, St Vincent, Bequia and the Tobago Cays are all within easy reach.

Whilst St Lucia is a Level 3 sailing destination, it is mainly line of sight sailing, but also offers the choice of longer passages for the more adventurous sailor.The winter months are the time to visit for exciting and challenging sailing – in summer, the sailing is smoother and more relaxed. Winds in the winter are generally north-easterly, south-easterly in the summer months. Temperatures range from 23 to 35 C (75 - 95 F).

Cruising in the Pitons is certainly magic to the eyes of cruisers heading south to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, marking an entry into the charm of the Eastern Caribbean. The twin conical peaks of Petit Piton (elevation 2,460 feet) and Gros Piton (elevation 2,619 feet) are among the most noteworthy landmarks on St. Lucia. Just north of Petit Piton is the small town of Soufriére (it shares the name of the nearby dormant volcano, the only one in the world it’s possible to drive a car right inside!).
