We cleared in to St. Lucia here, arrived on Sunday just before 4pm when the customs was closing. Checked in on Monday and didn’t then have to pay overtime rate. Had to pay 40 EC cruising tax to the Port officer. No other fees.
Customs and immigration are supposed to open at 8 am, but they are rarely there at this time. Sometimes one authority is there and not the other.
Mooring is stern-to with a bow line passed to you from a buoy at the front of the boat. We were also given another bow line which was tied onto the boat next to us. You have full use of the hotel facilities and can charge everything to your boat, so you can pay when you leave. The dock staff helped with lines on arrival and when it was time to leave as well.
There is a terrible smell from the drains that are below the hurricane hole bar/ restaurant. When I asked the waitress she said it was when the tide was low it makes it smelly, not true, it is definitely from the drains. We were moored directly outside the marina office and there was no smell near our boat.

CSSN has received a first-hand account from a cruiser anchored In Marigot Bay, St. Lucia.
It was a particularly windy day on Saturday, December 10, 2016. After a strong burst, a cruiser looked topside to check if anyone was dragging and noticed a boat in front that was, and its crew was obviously not onboard. He jumped in his dinghy and got the attention of another nearby cruiser and they were able to tie the dragging yacht too, and then haul it up close, on a nearby mooring. An hour later he noticed the owners had returned and were sorting out the slack anchor chain. He went over to explain what had occurred and in conversation learned that a local (who was nowhere to be seen while they were securing the boat) had come by demanding money for “saving” the boat. The owner gave him what he described as “a lot of money.” Someone was quick to monetize another’s misfortune while providing no assistance.
CSSN NOTE: There have been 4 incidents of theft and attempted theft reported to CSSN so far this year, both inside and outside the lagoon in Marigot Bay, St. Lucia. The most recent in November. When reported to local authorities the police indicated to the victims that the “problem in Marigot happens a lot” and offer no indication of any plan to change things. It seems some there are in fact keeping a close watch, but likely not with cruiser interests in mind.
