Mario and his crew were amazing.
We booked an all day boat charter as well as services for a water taxi to the Street Party at Gros Islet with Sugar Boat Charters. For our boat day, they took us up and down the West Coast of the island, we stopped at Sugar Beach and spent time sunbathing and enjoying the beautiful beach and pitons, we then went to Marigot Bay and had lunch at a Bayside restaurant, showed us the coastline, and they even took us to a private beach as well. They were professional, fun and informative, and the rum punch was an extra bonus. We packed our own bags with portable beach chairs for our time at sugar beach.
For the water taxi, they picked us up at our hotel, and took us to the dock where the water taxi awaited. They provided us with rum punch and took us to the Friday night street party. Tjey provided us with a guide who escorted us at the Street Party to make sure we had a great time and got us back to our hotel safely when we wanted to head back.
I highly recommend Mario and his company Sugar Boat Charters for their professionalism, and for their attention to making sure we had an amazing experience.

Graham + Sugar Boat Water Taxi came in clutch for us for a private charter to Rodney Bay! We realized that driving from Marigot Bay to Rodney Bay would be tough via car and this company did a great job arranging a last minute trip. They booked us within 12 hours of departure via WhatsApp, were extremely punctual and flexible on the pick-up time, and Graham was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had 7 people and the waters were choppy but the team made the best of it. If you aren’t in a rush I’d recommend just asking to take it slower as the small boat do hit the water pretty hard if there is a wake from other boats. The way back south will be much smoother regardless. It took about 30 min to get from Marigot Bay to Rodney Bay.

Graham and Teddy are the best captain/guide duo!! They showed us all the best spots for snorkeling and to experience local culture. The tour can be catered to what you want to do for 7 hours. We chose to do a lot of snorkeling and spend an hour in the Castries market. The rum punch is INCREDIBLE and the unlimited drinks were super nice. Honestly, with the absurd prices of taxis on the island, this is the best value to see more parts of St Lucia. We paid $750 USD for five people for 7 hours on the tour. When you split that 5 ways, it’s really not bad!

Captain Ted and 1st mate Grahm were wonderful! Every part of our Sugar boat snorkel & beach tour was relaxed and enjoyable. On our arrival I contacted the company via WhatsApp and they were able to help us navigate around some construction at the port. The ease of communication was a comforting way to start the day.
A cooler of water, soda and rum punch was waiting for us on board. We were quickly made comfortable and we were off cruising the coast. It was a wonderful way to see St. Lucia’s spectacular scenery. From volcanic cliffs, untouched mountains and beautiful mangrove inlets.
The snorkeling spots were nice! One of the most populated areas of fish that we saw visiting the southern Caribbean. Anse Chastanet with its underwater garden of huge soft coral was a once in a life time experience!
We enjoyed lunch at Paradise beach with a tasty plate of fish, salad, beans, rice, baked macaroni and plantain. Can’t forget the tropical frozen drinks! The casual outdoor tables had a gorgeous view and when we arrived we were the only patrons. Only one other private charter tour came onshore to dine while we had lunch.
Next stop Sugar beach! Nestled between the Pitons the setting felt outrageously luxurious!!! We skipped lounge chairs and laid out on our towels and waded in the calm waters taking in the surroundings. The beach is on Visceroy resort, but can be publicly accessed via land or water. The trip from the port was much more manageable with our children being only 35 minutes by sea. We saw other cruise go’ers enjoying the beach, but I wouldn’t say by any means that it was crowded. It added a level of comfort that we weren’t infringing on the toes of the resort to have a varied population.
Our return was accompanied by a Bob Marley soundtrack, which kept us smiling AND singing… Bonus: no one got thrown overboard for being out of tune!
Bottom line: I booked the tour because it hit the exact highlights of what I wanted to experience. The Island coast, the snorkel reservation, the view of the pitons and Sugar beach. It was a nice chance to have a private experience with my family and and the cost was comparable to a group excursion. The only additional cost was lunch. I would have had less for breakfast or skipped it, BUT my husband was eager to enjoy lunch on land and a couple of frozen drinks. In this case, happy husband happy life!

Mario and his crew are exceptional, there’s no other way to put it. He was truly a one stop shop for us on our trip to Saint Lucia. If you are staying in or near Soufriere, there is no one better to call. Mario first picked us up from the airport on time and took us to our hotel and made us feel right at home. For the following day we booked a private “land and sea tour” of the island with his team at a very reasonable price. My girlfriend and I got to see so much in one day with phenomenal drivers and boat captains. We traveled to the waterfall, mud baths, Tet Paul nature hike, snorkeling, and a private boat tour around the west coast of the island all the way up to Marigot bay. Mario and his team never made us feel rushed, we truly felt like we were on island time and could see anything we wanted to. Highly recommend utilizing Mario for taxi services or boat tours. They are the best! He was very easy to reach throughout the process by WhatsApp or email.

My husband and I did a private land and sea tour for our honeymoon and sugar boat was AMAZING! They were so professional and truly made this entire experience so incredible from start to finish. We were able to see so much and never felt rushed. They went above and beyond the entire day to make us feel comfortable and have a customizable experience. Mario, Ted and Graham were some of the best people we met in St Lucia and will be absolutely back to see them!!! Don’t waste anymore time, book them NOW!!!!

We had an amazing time on this excursion and would highly recommend booking a private tour! The boat was clean and comfortable for our party of 8. The guides were informative and fun. They were waiting for us at the meeting spot and took us to see so many spots on the island including the sulphur springs, toraille waterfall and sugar beach. They also arranged for lunch and it was delicious! Graham was with us the whole time and he took photos, provided drinks, and even painted some of us at the baths! He was really fun! Don't hesitate to book this tour!

We contacted this business the day before we wanted the boat ride and they were quick to answer and gave very reasonable price. When I requested a bigger boat they obliged. We had captain Dillon and 2 crew members and they were so nice, so full of history and knowledge of the island. You can somewhat customize your tour. They ensured our comfort safety and made sure we were all having a great time. Highly recommend this business and captain Dillon.

This is the tour you need to do in St Lucia. We were a mixed group of adults and teens and everyone had an incredible time. Captain Ted and First Mate Graham were excellent hosts and guides. They took us to all the best spots, engaged and entertained us and kept the drinks flowing!
The owner Mario was extremely responsive in setting up the tour. They were able to accommodate us last second and the whole transaction was very easy. Book with confidence!

Has anyone who took the private boat tour from the cruise terminal, ever done a full-day with the sulfur springs? If so, was it packed with hundreds of people, or were you there before the crowd due to the boat ride? I can’t decide what to do, but I know I want to book a private boat tour for my family. Also, this is indeed a private tour, right? You aren’t herded together like cattle with dozens of other people?

We did on a cruise ship day and it was really busy. I would suspect on a non cruise day would be fine
