Castries Anchorage

Drop the hook right in Castries Harbour and you're steps from the heart of Saint Lucia's capital city, with the recently revamped waterfront market and the bustling town centre within easy reach. It's a lively, working-port kind of anchorage — tankers and ferries share the water, so expect some swell and boat traffic, but the tradeoff is an unbeatable front-row seat to Caribbean city life. From here you can walk straight into local food stalls, rum shops, and the Castries Market without needing to arrange transport.
