Incredible and unique stay! Highly recommended!
When we arrived Alessandro (Alex) was at the boat to greet us. He helped with our bags and showed us around the boat “YOTA”. YOTA is a BEAUTIFUL 45’ Sailboat. You can tell from the way Alex talks about YOTA that she has been his baby for a long time. The boat is very well taken care of with unique art from around the world and some local Caribbean touches too! The cabin is gorgeous, floor to ceiling wood with a very open galley/living space. The Bedrooms (4 total) are cozy and comfortable with room to stand. There is no A/C (obviously, it’s a sailboat!) but the constant breezes from the Caribbean Sea kept the temperature very comfortable even in the cabin in the afternoon.
YOTA is parked at the Rodney bay marina. A beautiful marina equipped with clean showers, bathrooms (The marina does not allow you to use the bathrooms/showers on the boat while it is parked in the marina, for obvious reasons), laundry facilities, gift shops, grocery store, at least 4 restaurants, there is even a pool where they hold yoga classes 3 times a week!
If you are even the slightest bit adventurous we HIGHLY recommend this experience! You do have to walk down the dock to use the facilities, so if you are high maintenance, or need extra privacy, this experience might not be for you.
Alex (Capitan) was kind and funny and gave us many recommendations for places to eat and fun things to do around town. He even met my husband and I in Gross islet for the Friday night block party and showed us around to his favorite bars and local eateries. He offered us rides when walking was too far. We became into stant friends!
On the second day of our trip Alex met us at the boat in the morning and took us out for the full day sailing trip. It was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone staying on the boat! We sailed south down the beautiful
Western coast of St. Lucia stopping at small bays of local fishing villages, he shared history and details fo all the different places we stopped. He made us a beautiful, homemade, seafood pasta for lunch with roots from his hometown in Italy. He also provided us with a jug of the most delicious homemade rum punch I’ve had the whole time I’ve been in st. Lucia (he actually took the time to grate whole nutmeg into the punch!) we had a BLAST with him out on YOTA. So much so, that we are planning an extended charter with him next winter.
Thank you Alex and YOTA for this beautiful experience!!
