Shashamane Experience: recorrido en barco por la bahía de Marigot, Castries, Santa Lucía

Great day out on the water. Captain Denver is very knowledgeable of the area. We saw and did everything we set out to do for the day! It was an awesome time out on the water. What a beautiful island to see.

A fantastic day with captain Denver and his buddy. Highly recommend if you want a no hassle private day. 11 out of 10 that man

We can’t recommend Captain Denver and his crew enough! What an amazing day on the water…we did our homework and inquired with a few other companies. We were in very good hands with Captain Denver.

Denver and his cousin were amazing! We have visited 20 islands in the Caribbean and have been on quite a few excursions, tours, snorkel trips, and the like. This was a wonderful trip. We hired Denver for roughly 6 hours to take us to several snorkel spots. He had gear on board if needed. His boat is fast, fun, and has shade. And rum punch, and water. He met us just outside the ferry port- this was much easier than we imagined as he was right there and spotted us immediately (we’re not sure how.). We initially thought that the most well known snorkel and scuba location, Anne Chastene would be too far to reach from Castries and asked him to take us to Pigeon Point. He said Pigeon Point was a bit touristic and crowded and that Anne Chastenane is actually only 30 minutes by boat from Castries so we were able to snorkel there as well as Anse Cochon. We liked Anne Cochon a bit better, although both were great. We saw a sea turtle, puffer fish as well as coral reef with many many colorful fish. Denver waited for us at the beach each time and was easy to find when we were ready for the next spot. He also discretely advised us on how to handle peddlers who offer to tow you from their kayaks, sell you conch, do flips off of cliffs, for a fee. Denver was very knowledgeable about the island, the resorts we passed, the history between French and English rule, the geology and plants. He mainly pointed out highlights and delved into specifics only if we asked. Our last stop was Marigot Bay, where he is from. We docked at La Bas- the beach only accessible by boat, and had a very local lunch cooked by his Auntie- jackfish, fried plantain with the skin on — that was really good— and the local Piton beer which we all thought was excellent. They also had a drink made with a fresh coconut I am sorry we did not try. I hope this long-winded review helps someone trying to book something in St. Lucia! I’m saving his contact so I can recommend this to anyone I meet heading to St. Lucia :)

We had a fantastic day out. Great snorkeling recommendation. Super friendly, great tour guides and hosts! Absolutely recommend them!
