St Lucia

Anchoring beneath them at sunset is the signature Windward moment. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt. Marigot Bay is one of the best hurricane holes in the Caribbean. Rodney Bay to the north has full marina services.

from the water
What St Lucia is like from the water
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Local moorings under the Pitons are managed by SMMA (Soufrière Marine Management Authority). Use the mooring, not anchor. Depth drops to 200m within a boat length. Duis aute irure dolor. Watch for local boat vendors offering 'help' at the moorings. Firm but polite is fine.
Our Eastern Caribbean Sailing route arrives here on a specific day; we anchor on the side where the swell drops.
questions
About St Lucia
Can I anchor under the Pitons?
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. No. Use the SMMA moorings. Depth drops off too quickly for reliable anchoring.
