PROVISIONING: For our sailing charters, we offer the convenience and value of our split provisioning plan at US $29/person/day. It provides breakfast, lunch, and snacks daily, plus few evening meals.

A large selection of soft drinks, beer, wine and liquor is available at reasonable prices. You will be sent a complete list when we receive your deposit. The service of a cook for your charter is $139.00 per day.

You can also get the service of a cook when you are staying at the Great House, Villa St. Lucia or Emerald Hill Villa.

QUESTIONS MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED ABOUT OUR CREWED YACHT OPTIONS

How many days should we spend in St. Lucia before leaving on a charter?
If your charter is going out of St. Lucia, we suggest that you spend at least 2 days at the resort. This will give you time to acclimatize yourself to your surroundings and visit our beautiful island. It also gives us the chance to clear customs before your departure.
What time can we board?
At Oasis Marigot, we like to fill your days with activities and most of our charters and daysails leave at 8:45 a.m.
What type of clothing should we pack?
The key is to keep it simple. You'll spend your days in bathing suits and shorts, though for evenings ashore, slacks or a sundress are appropriate. Rubber soled shoes (as opposed to hard soles) are a must onboard, so wear boat shoes or tennis shoes. Above all, protection from the sun is vital. And, don't forget to pack using collapsible duffles when cruising, suitcases are not easy to stow onboard.
Should we tip our crew?
As always, the quality of service should determine how you tip. We suggest a tip of around 10% as a good guideline.

We hope to welcome you!
