Saint Lucia Catamaran Tour to the Pitons from Rodney Bay
A Saint Lucia catamaran tour sails the calm west coast from Rodney Bay to the Pitons, with snorkel stops, a beach swim at the Piton base, lunch and an open bar onboard, and a relaxed return sail. The full day runs six to seven hours; shorter afternoon and sunset sails are also available.
What to Expect
A full day on the water, running south from Rodney Bay to the Pitons and back on wide, stable boats with shade and a bar.
Departure from Rodney Bay
Boarding runs about 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. at Rodney Bay Marina in Gros Islet; cruise guests can be met at the Castries port instead. The crew runs a short safety briefing and casts off.
West Coast Sail to the Pitons
Saint Lucia’s west coast is the leeward side, so the water stays calm. As you near Soufrière, Gros Piton and Petit Piton rise straight from the sea past 2,600 feet, and the crew slows between them for photos.
Snorkelling at Anse Cochon and Anse Chastanet
The boat anchors at Anse Cochon or Anse Chastanet, where healthy reefs sit close to shore and turtles are common. Gear comes from the boat’s locker and the crew helps first-timers get comfortable; no experience is needed. For more reef time, book a dedicated St. Lucia snorkelling trip instead.
Beach Stop and Lunch Onboard
A longer anchor near the Piton base gives you time to swim, snorkel, or relax on deck. Lunch is served onboard, usually grilled fish or chicken with Caribbean rice, salad, and plantain. Note vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free needs at booking.
The Return Sail
The catamaran sails back north with rum punch and music on, docking at Rodney Bay around 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. If a full day is too much sun, a shorter Saint Lucia sunset cruise from Rodney Bay covers the same water in two to three hours.
What’s Included
The full-day sail is all-inclusive. Your seat covers:
- Lunch onboard — grilled fish or chicken, rice, salad, and plantain.
- Open bar — rum punch, soft drinks, and water.
- Snorkel gear — masks, fins, and snorkels in all sizes.
- Swim ladder and, on most boats, a water slide.
- Life jackets in every size, including children’s.
What to Bring
Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses with a strap, a light layer for the return sail, and a dry bag for phones. If you get motion sick, take a tablet before boarding.

FAQs
How long is a St. Lucia catamaran tour?
The full-day sail runs about six to seven hours, usually 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It covers the run south to the Pitons, snorkel and beach stops, lunch onboard, and the return to Rodney Bay. Afternoon and sunset cruises run two to three hours.
Where does the catamaran depart from?
Most sails board at Rodney Bay Marina in Gros Islet, at the north end of Saint Lucia. Cruise guests can be met at the Castries port instead. We confirm your exact pickup point and time by email or WhatsApp once your booking is set.
Do I need snorkelling experience?
No experience is needed. The crew provides masks, fins, and snorkels in all sizes and helps first-timers get comfortable. The stops at Anse Cochon and Anse Chastanet are calm, with reefs close to shore. Prefer not to snorkel? Swim near the boat or relax on deck.
Will I get seasick on the catamaran?
Seasickness is rare here. The catamaran sails Saint Lucia’s leeward west coast, which stays sheltered and calm compared with the Atlantic side, and the boats are wide and stable. If you are prone to motion sickness, take a tablet or wear a patch before boarding.
Is the catamaran tour good for families and children?
Yes. Children of all ages are welcome, and life jackets are onboard in every size. The calm water, swim ladder, and water slide make it an easy day for kids. Note your group’s ages when you book so the crew can prepare.
Can I book a private catamaran charter?
Yes. A private charter gives your group its own catamaran, crew, and itinerary — good for families, honeymooners, and small groups who want flexibility. Private charters start from US$1,400 for a six-hour day, with the final rate confirmed by group size and season.
