14 tours  ·  from $66 a head

The trade wind runs down the outside of the island and the lee is flat, so a sailing day here is genuinely sailing rather than motoring. These 14 compare crewed charters and shared boats on price, hours and how many are aboard.

Review of St. Lucia’s private 43-foot catamaran cruise, with Piton views, snorkeling, lunch, open bar, hotel pickup, and honest value advice.

“Best part of our vacation. I do not think I can ever do the boat tour with a 100 other people now. The crew was very attentive, Amani makes a mean margarita. Lunch was super delicious. We got to see Sugar Beach and Jade Mountain resort beach without driving for an hour. Remember to use that sunblock though, the sun is intense, you can get burned when you snorkle. There is plenty of shade on the boat though.”
