Cosmos, Marigot Bay Water sports' Owner. At the back, up the hill, The Inn On The Bay. Local Fishing Experience. Peter, a young licensed fisherman from the village of Marigot, runs this activity.

The Club Mistral Windsurfing Centre Skyriders Kitesurfing Centre are located on the grounds of in Vieux Fort, St. Lucia. The windsurfing centre is equipped with 2002 Mistral windsurfing boards and North rigs, whilst the kitesurfing centre features Naish kites and boards. The centres are located on the Atlantic coast at the southern end of this fun-filled Caribbean island, facing the full force of the trade winds. Both centres are really easy to find, as they are on the main Castries-Vieux Fort road, approximately 2-minutes drive from Hewanorra International airport. Both are located on St Lucia's best windsurfing beach, on the south-east coast of the island close to the town of Vieux Fort. Just 1000 yards out to sea lie the twin Maria Islands - windswept and uninhabited, these remain unchanged since Carib Indians roamed the beaches and now provide sanctuary for many unique species of flora and fauna. As is typical for all of the region, St. Lucia has a tradewind season which lasts from December through to May, however during June and July there are also some good windsurfing days. At the white sandy beach of Anse de Sables in Vieux Fort, the prevailing winds blow cross-onshore from the left with generally flat water over the major part of the sailing area. Apart from the reef break approximately 1km offshore, which is clearly identifiable by the white water surrounding it, the entire sailing area in the bay is safe and sandy-bottomed so you can sail barefoot. The launch area is also free of anything 'nasty' underfoot, with negligible shorebreak towards the upwind end of the bay. Further downwind the shorebreak can be more challenging, particularly when the winds have been consistently high for a few days. There may also be more swell and chop towards the centre of the bay at these times. During the winter months (Dec-Mar) a 'shortie' wetsuit or lycra top is useful against windchill. Facilities at this beach include 2 restaurants, toilet and beach facilities (loungers, beach umbrellas etc). There is usually safety-boat cover operated by one of the windsurfing centres located here. The windsurfing centre is equipped with thirty (30) 2002 Mistral boards and fifty (50) rigs from North Sails. Come along and do battle with the big one with Captain Chris Hackshaw and his experienced and friendly fishing team. Chris's Grand father started charter fishing around the beautiful and very productive waters of St. Lucia over forty years ago and subsequently passed on a wealth of knowledge. Presently Chris's cousin has the St. Lucia Blue Marlin record of 707 pounds caught at one of our International Bill fishing tournaments. They presently operate three sport fishing vessels: a Customized 38' Bertram Special Sea Hunter powered with twin Detroit Diesels capable of speeds to 25 kts, a 31' Bertram Bahia Mar Blue Boy powered with twin Perkins 275 h.p. Diesels capable of 31 kts and a 32' Formula Miss-T powered with twin 250 h.p. Perkins Diesels capable of 24 kts. All their boats are equipped with Fish-Finders, GPS systems, Penn International and Shimano Reels and a wide variety of lures for a number of different species of game fish, the Sea Hunter is also equipped with Radar, auto pilot, fridge, stove, freezer, and is air conditioned in the cabin. All three vessels are fitted with coast guard approved safety equipment. There are a wide variety of game fish around the island with the more common being Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, King Fish, Yellow Fin Tuna, Dorado, Mackerel and Barracuda. Hackshaw Boat Charters strongly believe in the conservation of St. Lucia's fish stocks and thus practice a strict Tag and release program of all BillFish, with the tag certificate being presented to the angler by the International Gamefishing Fish Association. Apart from sport fishing charters they also do whale and dolphin watching trips! (453-0553)
