Yacht charter in Castries

Castries is the capital of the Saint Lucia state. The city is located in an almost closed bay which makes it attractive for yacht rentals. Local authorities are interested in the development of yacht tourism. That’s why Castries is considered to be one of the best yachting centres in the Caribbean region.

How to get

There is the George F. L. Charles airport next to Castries, but it specialises on flights between the Caribbean islands. Hevanorra International Airport is a half hour drive from Castries. It handles flights from Canada (Montreal, Toronto), the USA (Charlotte, Atlanta, New York, Boston, Newark, Chicago), the UK (London, Manchester).

Climate: tropical.
Sailing season: from December to June.
Rain season: July-November. This is also the hurricane season, so you’d better not hire any boats here at this time.
Communication language: English.
Visa: the majority of foreign citizens can enter here without a visa. One can find the rest on the Embassy of Saint Lucia website. If you sail to the port of Castries for a couple of days, a visa can be delivered at customs for the number of days of rest in the city.

Anchorages in Castries

  • Yachts can anchor in front of the city of Castries or in Vigie Creek.
  • You can stand outside the city but the bottom there is covered with a huge layer of garbage and the anchor has nothing to catch. So, it is not recommended to stay there
  • it is difficult to make a stand in Castries in season: there may be up to 5 cruise liners in the port, and yachts may not fit there

  • May — the Saint Lucia Jazz Festival. It is celebrated all over the island
  • June / July — Saint Lucia Carnival
  • October — Jounen Kwéyòl, Creole Day
  • December — Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, ARC. Yachts sail here from Seychelles, another side of the Atlantic ocean.

In Castries tropical climate. Castries has a significant amount of rainfall throughout the year. That is correct even for dry month. Freshness after a rain in sunny day, warm and transparent water, an easy breeze: all of this is an ideal combination for the resort.

Full recommendation. Great service & support. We chartered a Beneteau 45 in Athens for our trip around Peloponnes. Great service and perfect customer support from beginning to the end. Due to corona we had to postpone our trip - Sailica managed all the communication with the charter agency and negotiated a great new deal for us. This was already the 2nd time we charted with Sailica and it won't be the last time. Full recommendation

I took Dufour Grand Large 560 at Croatia using online yacht rental service sailica.com It's easy to use their mobile app with fair prices and enough quantity of boats which suits to my parameters. Their managers assisted me through whole communication with charter company. It was pleasant to receive a small gift – free of charge transfer from airport to marina. We didn't request it and appreciate their overexpected level of service.

Amazing 1 week in Turkey! I sailed with Sailica on a tour in the gulf of Fethiye in Turkey. Overall it was a great experience and a great crew, even if I did not know them before. The area is amazingly beautiful and if you go in April you can avoid the crowds. The skipper was very proficient and knew what he was doing. Highly recommended!

Great company! The guys answered all our questions which were very important since it was our first sailing experience. Moreover, they advised us not only on a charter but also on the tour itself. This was not the responsibility of the company, but we needed help and the company managers helped us for free. I highly recommend the team. The guys are really reliable, proactive and customer-oriented.

Excellent trip to Croatia! The trip was organized on an excellent level since the very beginning - from the yacht search to the trip itself. The team was fast and responsive. Highly recommended to everyone who wants to hang out with family on a beautiful yacht or catamaran!

Super Beratung - sehr schnell wurde für mich ein passendes Boot in der Türkei gefunden. Sehr guter Preis, und ich konnte einen Skipper aussuchen, den ich bereits vom letzten Mal kannte. Volle Empfehlung!
