Private Customized St. Lucia Boat Tours
Welcome to Hackshaw Boat Charters! Let us show you the real St. Lucia on one of our private boat tours.

St. Lucia is home for us, and our family began operating personally tailored boat tours over 68 years ago! For fun on the water with a customized private tour, we've got you covered.
Come snorkeling with us to see bright tropical fish, healthy coral reefs, and maybe even a seahorse, spotted eel, or octopus. If tournament sports fishing is your thing, our knowledgeable local guides know all the secret spots to go. If your family is looking for a day of whale and dolphin watching, then let us take you there. Or a luxury catamaran cruise on the west coast of St. Lucia with amazing views. We'll show you some of the island's most popular beaches, plus a few secluded hidden gems.
With a full day on the island, you'll have all the time you need to relax at Marigot Bay, the "must-see" in the area. You'll also have the option to visit other popular sites on the island such as the Botanical Gardens, Sulphur Springs, Diamond Water Falls, and the therapeutic sulfur baths. Relax, and leave the details to us. Onboard you will be served complimentary coffee, tea, soft drinks, mineral water, local fruit, and light snacks.

Marigot boasts many waterfront restaurants where you can enjoy refreshing Caribbean concoctions near the end of your trip of a lifetime!
