The experience

The crossing takes around 105 minutes from the airport to your final stop. Rather than a two-hour drive through island traffic, you travel by water past the Pitons: the UNESCO World Heritage landmark that defines St. Lucia's coastline. The ferry makes two stops: Castries, the capital, comes first, and Rodney Bay Marina is the final destination. An English-speaking guide is on board, and the air-conditioned cabin keeps you comfortable during the journey.

Drinks and snacks are served throughout the crossing. Alcoholic beverages are included if you're 18 or older. Hotel pickup is arranged at selected properties, so the transfer begins before you even reach the dock. All fees, taxes and ground transportation are built into the price. There's nothing else to arrange once you book.
