St. Lucia Private Sunset Cruise: Marigot Bay to Rodney Bay

You sail past the fort where fourteen wars were fought, then watch the sun set over open water with a drink in hand.

A private sunset cruise in St. Lucia sails between Marigot Bay and Rodney Bay with a local guide, stopping to pass Pigeon Island and a marina full of mega yachts. You choose from three boat sizes (22, 26, or 31 feet), and spend two hours on the water with complimentary wine, local rum, beer and soft drinks included. The cruise ends as the sun dips below the horizon.

The experience

The boat leaves from a dock (or beach pickup is available) and heads into the waters between two of St. Lucia's most sheltered bays. You'll cruise through Marigot Bay, where the original Dr. Doolittle movie was filmed, then sail past Pigeon Island: a historic landmark that served as a fort during fourteen wars between the French and British for control of the island. The route also takes you through a man-made marina where waterfront homes and mega yachts line the water. A local guide narrates the stops and the history as you go.

Drinks come throughout: local rum, wine, beer, water and sodas are all included, and you can bring your own music via Bluetooth speakers or let the guide set the mood. The timing is built around the sunset itself. You're positioned on the water as the light changes, with front-row seats to what the operator calls St. Lucia's world-famous colorful sunset. The whole experience runs two hours.

Three boat sizes let you pick what fits your group. The 22-footer holds four and suits a couple; the 26-footer takes nine and works for a small family or two couples; the 31-footer carries fourteen and is built for a larger celebration. Hotel pickup and dropoff are included only if your hotel has dock access. Otherwise you'll meet at the departure point. If your group is larger than fourteen, contact the operator for a custom quote.

Is this one for you?Pick the 22-foot boat if it's just the two of you and you want an intimate evening; the 26-footer works for a family of up to nine; the 31-footer gives a larger group or celebration room to spread out. All three follow the same route and timing, so the choice is really about how many people are in your party and how much space you want on deck.

What is Pigeon Island and why does the guide mention it on every cruise?

Pigeon Island is a historic landmark off the St. Lucia coast that served as a fort during fourteen wars fought between the French and British for control of the island. You sail past it during the cruise and the guide explains its role in the island's colonial history.

Can I bring my own music, or does the guide choose what plays?

You can connect to the boat's Bluetooth speakers and play your own music, or let the guide set the mood with their selection. Either way, the music is part of the atmosphere as you watch the sunset.

Is hotel pickup included, or do I need to arrange my own way to the dock?

Hotel pickup and dropoff are included only if your hotel has dock access. If it doesn't, you'll meet the boat at the departure point. Public transportation options are available nearby.

What does the cruise pass through besides the two bays?

After Marigot Bay and Pigeon Island, you sail through a man-made marina where you'll see million-dollar waterfront homes and mega yachts. The route keeps you on scenic water the entire two hours.

Which boat size should I book for a family of five?

The 26-foot boat holds up to nine passengers and is described as ideal for a small family. The 31-foot boat holds up to fourteen and gives more space if you want extra room or are traveling with another family.
