CARIBBEAN


The beaches are lovely, especially in the Grenadines. He expects about 3,000 yachts between the islands this season. He says, “On mainland St. Vincent, there are many places to pull in along the coastline. They are: Chateaubelair, Cumberland, Wallilabou Anchorage, Young Island Cut and all the Grenadines. If you are a megayacht, we recommend getting an agent to handle the paperwork and avoid the stress of the local bureaucracy. Less time would be spent answering questions so that you can deal with the guests on board.”


St. Lucia Troy Blanchard, Marigot Bay Marina Manager was born and raised on the island. He’s expecting more than 150 superyachts ranging from 80’-240’ feet to visit Marigot Bay, with many more sailing along St Lucia


waters. For him the most beautiful part of the island and a favourite spot for boaters is between the Pitons, the UNESCO listed twin volcanic cones on the south of the island, in Soufriere. Many of the top recommended excursions are in Soufriere so it gives guests and crew the convenience of easy access to many of the top tourist sites. Soufriere is also home to the famous drive in Volcano. Another favourite location is Pigeon island to the north. A short ride to the shore from anchorage gives one the opportunity to learn about the rich history and culture of Saint Lucia. Rodney Bay offers a lot in terms of night life and excitement. “Saint Lucia is called Helen of the West Indies for a reason. Its sheer beauty and fascinating culture, coupled with warm, friendly and genuine people make it stand out in the Caribbean,” says Blanchard proudly.
