The Marina at Marigot Bay, St. Lucia

Located on the scenic
West Coast, this vibrant location
is ideal for short, long stays

The Marina at Marigot Bay on St. Lucia is located in the southeast corner of Marigot Bay in front of the Discovery at Marigot Bay Resort and Spa, a five-star hotel that is affiliated with the marina. The marina was built in 2005 and offers its guests all of the facilities the hotel with pools, restaurants, bars and the Lapli Spa. The bay is dotted with six restaurants and bars ranging from fine to casual dining, with most offering an assortment of evening entertainment.

Marigot Bay, tucked away on the scenic west coast of St. Lucia, has long been known as the eastern Caribbean’s safest and most attractive hurricane hole. St. Lucia is an independent country of 170,000 people, and part of the Windward Islands, which also includes Dominica, Martinique, St. Vincent and then Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago.

“There’s a tremendous amount to do on this island, from volcanic peaks to sandy beaches,” said Bob Hathaway, in his eighth year as marina manager. “The main commerce is of course tourism, but with the size of the population of the country there’s always something going on in terms of culture.”

The Marina can accommodate 40 yachts from 30 to 250 feet, with a maximum draft of 16 feet and a maximum beam of 44 feet.

The Marina is approached through a buoyed entrance channel, 160-feet wide, from the entrance waypoint at 13 degrees 58.1 minutes North, 61 degrees, 01.8 minutes West.

St. Lucia, and Marigot Bay in particular, remains busy and vibrant throughout the year. The Marina Village, with its wide range of shops, boutiques, French bakery, bank and supermarket is open year round. It is also a pick-up and drop-off point for yacht charters, especially when coupled with convenient direct airlift from both the United States and the United Kingdom and facilities for landing private jets.

New for this winter, the Marina at Marigot Bay offers a fully serviced deep-draft berth at 21 feet deep (6.5 meters) with 125-amp power, water, CATV, WiFi and on-berth fueling. The berth is large enough for yachts to a maximum size of 170 feet. In addition, named after the Jimmy Buffet song, “It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere” a new Sport Bar and Café in the Marina Village has opened. Finally, clearance charges have been reduced for 2012, combined with a package of other measures approved by government to simplify yacht clearance and transit.
