Our charter experience aboard La Palapa was a dream! Our leisurely cruise route took us along the coast of Saint Lucia from Rodney Bay down through Marigot to Hummingbird Bay in Souffries, where the Pitons provide a stunning backdrop for a sunset cocktails.
We had great weather and fair winds and were able to sail the whole time and take in the beautiful coastline without the hum of an engine.
This was a special trip for Lyall and I, who had recently met and fell in love ‘at first sight’. We truly felt like we were already on our honeymoon in that the boat and crew catered to our lovestruck hearts.
Aimee and Roger, who similarly fell in love in Las Palmas, knew exactly what we needed… the perfect balance of time alone exploring the anchorages and time aboard relaxing in the company of friends. The food aboard was prepared daily by chef Aimee and the fresh and healthy cuisine was a perfect match for the warm tropical climate and served to recharge us after snorkeling in the sea. It was so nice to wake up and head up to the cockpit for our morning spread. I left with some great recipes and also some new cocktail concoctions as well. Roger always made sure we had a perfectly mixed drink in our hands at sunset, and kept our glasses filled with his delicious drinks. We both felt ‘at home’ while aboard, and really enjoyed their company during the trip. Throughout the charter, Aimee, an excellent photographer, snapped photos of us and she provided us with the images before our departure. They left us with not only amazing images to remember our trip, but lasting memories as well.
Our time aboard La Palapa was truly magical and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a laid back, stress free charter experience. They will cater the itinerary to best suit your desires and make sure you have everything you need aboard their beautiful boat. We will surely be cruising with them again in the near future! Thank you both again for such an amazing trip! A hui ho, until we meet again,
Katie and Lyall, Hawaii
