Spirit of the Wind - bareboat and skippered charters in
St Lucia


Sailing the Caribbean is an exhilarating and unique experience, whether you choose a bareboat charter or a skippered yacht charter.

St Lucia, in the Windward Islands, is a special island, steeped in cultural history and natural beauty. St Lucia’s natural charm, combined with excellent international links (direct flights from the UK, USA and Canada), has firmly established it as the ideal island from which to start your Caribbean yacht charter.

Bareboat Charter in St Lucia

If you are an experienced sailor, then choosing a bareboat charter in St Lucia is a great option for your sailing vacation. Get together a group of friends or family (two of you will need to complete a sailing CV), let us help you plan your route (this could be one way from St Lucia through St Vincent and The Grenadines to Grenada or a return trip back to St Lucia), and set sail.

Please enquire if you have children in your group.

2) Let us make suggestions for you; or
3) Captain Christian will take you to the supermarket and other provisioning hotspots when you arrive.

Skippered Yacht Charter

If some of your group are non-sailors or you would just feel happier enjoying your Caribbean sailing vacation under the expert care of a qualified and experienced captain, then a skippered yacht charter is the best solution.

You and your captain will plan an itinerary together that best suits your preferences and local conditions at the time. An expert in understanding and reading local weather conditions and a skilled navigator, you can relax in the knowledge that you are in safe hands. And with his local knowledge, you won’t have to worry about Customs’ procedures or rely on a guide book to tell you about the best bays, cays and anchorages.

Fully Crewed Yacht Charter
A fully crewed yacht charter is one step up from a skippered yacht charter. As well as a captain, you will have a chef onboard who will take care of all your culinary needs. She will also act as first mate leaving the guests free to completely relax, unwind and enjoy all the fine service of a five star hotel.

Stay and Sail
We don’t ‘package’ stay and sail vacations, because our clients aren’t mass market and are independently minded. Each group of charter guests has its own specific requirement and budget. Instead, we are very happy to make individual recommendations of the most appropriate villas, hotels or guest houses….whatever it is that best suits your requirements.

Whether you’re looking for accommodation for just a couple of nights before your Caribbean yacht charter or a longer stay shoreside, please just contact us and we’ll be delighted to make suggestions. It’s important to us that you enjoy your entire vacation in St Lucia…..not just your sailing charter on Spirit of the Wind.

Tandem Yacht Charter
Tandem yacht charters are becoming increasingly popular as larger groups of people are looking for a new holiday experience.

Maybe your group consists of two (or more) families….or you’re looking for a corporate incentive or to reward your sales team. Either way, chartering two or more similar yachts is a great solution. With our contacts we are happy to organise this to ensure your group has an unforgettable experience.

With a tandem yacht charter you can still enjoy the benefits of a single charter – privacy and flexibility - while having fun with the larger group. We can also build a programme to include events and competitions if this is for a corporate group. Please just let us know what your specific requirements are.

Honeymoon Sailing Vacation
St Lucia is host to more weddings in the Caribbean than any other island, and with so many beautiful spots from which to choose, it’s not surprising. Caribbean honeymoons have always been popular, and what better way to escape from it all than by relaxing on your honeymoon on a private charter yacht? Spirit of the Wind is spacious enough to ensure that guests enjoy their privacy and the captain (and chef if required) will maintain a discreet distance.

Or, for a truly unique and unforgettable experience, why not actually get married on Spirit of the Wind? We work closely with St Lucia’s foremost wedding planners and would be happy to work with you to organise your dream wedding (including cake, flowers and photography).

Kitesurfing
Kitesurfing is one of the most popular and growing sports in St Lucia. The constant tradewinds and protected bays make St Lucia a natural magnet for kite-surfing enthusiasts. And with so little equipment, more people are choosing to combine their kitesurfing vacation with a skippered yacht charter – the best of both worlds!
