The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion-sickness medication
The Caribbean can be choppy; take anti-nausea meds an hour before departure if you’re prone to seasickness.
Protect against sun and glare
High SPF sunscreen and polarized sunglasses reduce glare and protect skin during long exposure on deck.
Share cruise details at booking
If arriving from a cruise ship, provide docking and re-boarding times to ensure timely pickup and return.
Hydrate and bring light snacks
Crew supplies soft drinks and water but bring personal snacks and extra water for long days on the water.

Conservation Note
Operators commonly practice catch-and-release for billfish and follow reef-friendly anchoring to protect coral; avoid single-use plastics and follow crew instructions to reduce impact.
St. Lucia’s seafaring communities have long relied on both reef and pelagic fisheries; small commercial boats and private charters continue those coastal traditions.
