Starting from the beginning: What this tour offers
The adventure begins with your private group setting sail along the southern coast of Saint Lucia, with the goal of blending fishing, snorkeling, and scenic cruising into one memorable day. Led by friendly guides—most of whom speak English—you’ll be fully equipped with fishing rods, masks, and life jackets. The purpose? To enjoy a relaxed day that balances activity with plenty of downtime.
We loved the way the tour is designed with flexibility in mind. Whether you’re itching to land that big catch or just want to float in the calm waters with a mask on, there’s room to make the day yours. The crew’s guidance ensures beginners aren’t left behind, making it a good choice for families or groups with mixed experience levels.
Fishing along Saint Lucia’s coast
The first part of the day is dedicated to offshore fishing. The waters off the southern coast are known for their diversity, and the crew is adept at helping you get the most out of the experience. Several reviews mention the “expert guidance” and “all equipment provided,” which means you can focus on enjoying the moment rather than worrying about gear.
For some, fishing is a highlight. One reviewer said, “We loved the way the crew encouraged us to try different techniques, and it felt satisfying to catch our own fish.” For others, even if no fish is caught, the thrill of trying and the scenic backdrop make it worthwhile.
Lunch in a coastal setting
After a couple of hours on the water, you’ll stop at a charming seaside restaurant. Here, you can recharge with local flavors—probably fresh seafood and tropical fruits—amidst beautiful coastal views. The inclusion of lunch adds great value, since dining in Saint Lucia can be pricey, and this way, you get a taste of local cuisine without the hassle of finding a place on your own. One guest noted, “The lunch was simple but delicious, perfect to keep us energized for the snorkeling ahead.”
