Described as the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean, this is a yachtsman's haven, this picturesque bay has been used for background shots in many Hollywood films such as Dr. Doolittle.
This sleepy fishing village lies on the west coast of the island, Anse La Raye offers a slice of true Saint Lucia with many small fishing boats moving along the little bay.
The Pitons Mountains is the island's most significant landmark, it is among the largest of the world's volcanic plugs. The Pitons were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll see vibrant coral reefs which cover more than half of the surrounding marine area, which is home to many different species of fish.
Excite your senses as you explore all the marine life. See the rainbow of coral colours and clear clear water which are teaming with spectacular fish that the whole family will enjoy.

We had what was probably the best day of our holiday with Real Deal Boats today. Rasta D and Calito picked our family of 5 up straight on Reduit beach near our hotel and took us along the coast for some snorkelling and beach time, stopping at Anse Chastanet, Sugar Beach and Anse Cochon. All three locations were great for snorkelling and Sugar Beach was also wonderful for relaxing and the cocktail boat! The guys were wonderful guides and looked after us beautifully throughout, even providing cold drinks including some homemade rum punch. We had an absolutely wonderful day with them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic boat trip. Captain Rod and 1st mate Calita was great. Exclusive boat tour was worth the money. Snorkeled Sugar Beach. Explored Black sand beach. Jumped off cliff at Lovers tunnel. Great tour guides of the island. Highly recommend Real Deals, their 37' boat was the nicest looking on the island. Ask for Rod and Calita. Amazing trip.
This was a wonderful way to see the beautiful coast from Rodney Bay to the Pitons. While some of us snorkeled the rest relaxed for a bit at the stop at Sugar Beach. The crew was knowledgeable and friendly which really made the day. The boat was very clean with more than enough room for the 6 of us to be very comfortable.
Wow, thank you for the 5-star review! We are so glad you chose to spend the day with us. It's fantastic to hear that the journey from Rodney Bay to the Pitons was a highlight, and that Sugar Beach provided a great spot for everyone to enjoy the day their own way. Our crew works hard to ensure everyone has a memorable and comfortable experience, so they will be overjoyed to hear your compliments on their knowledge and friendliness. We’re also pleased the boat was spacious and clean for your group. Come see us again soon!
It was a fun and beautiful day on the water! Seeing the twin pitons from the water was amazing. We then got to snorkel and swim at sugar beach by the pitons. Jesse and Captain Stiffy were great tour guides. They pointed out many interesting places and took us to a yummy restaurant for lunch. This tour is highly recommended!

This is a must do private boat tour. Rasta D and Calito picked our family of 5 up at the Royalton beach and let is pick where to go and what to do on this excursion. We snorkeled a shipwreck, sugar beach, and a black sand beach. We also went cliff jumping off the tunnel of love. We chose not to do any inland activities and stayed on or in the water the whole time. This was one of the best excursions my wife and I have been on in multiple trips to the Caribbean. Vincent booked this trip for us on the beach at the Royalton. All around an amazing crew.
We booked Captain Vincent for private tour directly from the beach along the coast to Soufrierre and back including the sunset. Our skipper Rasta Dave and his mate Jesse were excellent hosts and looked after us all the way including to the waterfall, the sulphur springs, amazing snorkeling at Sugar Beach and a tour if Marigot Bay. The sunset was stunning and the high speed boat was absolutely thrilling. A real buzz.
Thank you for choosing us for your private tour and for sharing such a detailed and glowing account of your day! It sounds like an absolutely perfect adventure from start to finish. We are so pleased to hear that Rasta Dave and Jesse provided excellent hospitality and took such great care of you.

We hired a private tour for 4 of us with Captain Vincent. His crew were very knowledgeable and fun! They took us wherever we wanted to go. We had the best day seeing the pitons, mud baths, waterfall, snorkeling and many hidden secret spots along the coast. I highly recommend them. It is worth every penny!
