A closer look

On Board

Aft Deck Al Fresco

The aft deck serves as the yacht's vibrant heart, a seamless extension of the saloon that welcomes the balmy Caribbean air. Here, beneath the shade of the bimini, a substantial dining table invites leisurely breakfasts and starlit suppers. Plush cushions soften the seating, encouraging hours of conversation and laughter, or simply quiet contemplation as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues. The gentle sway of the ocean provides a constant, soothing rhythm.

On Board

Saloon Sanctuary

Within the main saloon, panoramic windows frame ever-changing vistas, blurring the lines between indoor comfort and the natural splendour outside. The interior, refreshed in 2023, boasts a calm, contemporary aesthetic with tactile finishes and understated elegance. An indoor audio system provides a curated soundtrack to your journey, while comfortable seating arrangements offer a quiet corner for reading or engaging with fellow guests. It’s a space designed for convivial evenings or peaceful retreats from the midday sun.

On Board

Foredeck Lounge

The foredeck offers a prime vantage point for sun-worshippers and stargazers alike. Here, expansive sunpads beckon for languid afternoons spent basking in the warmth, a gentle breeze rustling through your hair. At anchor, it transforms into a private oasis, perfect for morning yoga as the sun rises, or for quiet moments with a book, the only sound the lapping of waves against the hull. It’s a space designed for serene immersion in the marine environment.

On Board

Helm Station Views

Ascend to the helm station, where the yacht's sailing prowess is truly appreciated. With unobstructed views across the bow and out to the horizon, it’s an exhilarating spot to feel the power of the wind in the sails. Guests are often invited to observe the skilled crew at work, perhaps even taking the wheel under supervision. This elevated position provides a fresh perspective on the stunning landscapes and seascapes unfurling around you, a true connection to the art of sailing.

On Board

Swim Platform Access

The integrated swim platform offers effortless access to the inviting turquoise waters. This dedicated area is perfect for launching tenders and water toys, or simply for a refreshing dip directly from the yacht. An outdoor shower ensures comfort after a swim, washing away the salt before returning to the deck. It is the gateway to aquatic adventures, a seamless transition from yacht to ocean, promising endless hours of enjoyment in the Caribbean Sea.

Accommodation

LADY MARIGOT provides four well-appointed cabins, each a private haven for up to eight guests. The layout is thoughtfully designed, offering comfort and privacy. Each cabin features plush bedding and individual air conditioning, ensuring restful nights in any climate. The master suite, with its generous proportions, offers ample storage and a private ensuite, a serene retreat after a day of island hopping. Guest cabins maintain a consistent standard of comfort and style, providing a tranquil space to unwind, with soft lighting and thoughtful details enhancing the sense of calm.

The Crew

A professional crew of 3 dedicated to your charter. Working language: English.

Captain

Francis Mclawrence

St. Lucia · English

Lady Marigot is managed by a fully Saint Lucian crew with years of sailing, hospitality, & operations expertise. Combined, the crew has over 15 years of experience on board Lady Marigot, and they have traveled to all seven continents, over 100 countries, as well as multiple trans-Atlantic crossings. With their mastery of Lady Marigot and unrivaled knowledge of St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and the Southern Caribbean at large, our crew will provide an unparalleled, unforgettable, and truly authentic charter experience! Captain: Francis McLawrence With over 46 years of captaining experience, Francis found his love for the sea at a young age - at just six months old, he crossed from St. Lucia to Barbados with his father. Never looking back, Francis spent every school vacation thereafter at sea. He has captained a wide-range of ships, from catamarans, power-yachts, to even tug-boats. Captain Francis has done it all - yacht charters, sport & commercial fishing, shipping, & pleasure sails. He has obtained an array of boating qualifications, including but not limited to Boat Master License, Celestial Navigation Certification, and Basic Electronics. First trained to sail using a sextant and star charts, Francis is one of the few mariners who upholds the tradition of celestial navigation. He has traversed the entire Caribbean this way (no GPS!), as well as having crossed the Atlantic by catamaran. Well read, Francis brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise onboard. He is well versed in Caribbean history, local flora and fauna (by land and by sea), and the evolution and traditions of sailing. Young at heart, Francis is always excited to learn and brings both energy and experience to every charter – as well as more than a few great stories! In his free time, Captain Francis designs and builds custom ships made of recycled plastic, old dinghies, & plywood. He plays bass guitar and enjoys reading about science fiction, history, and anything by Graham Hancock.

Mate

Lee Freeman

St. Lucia · English

First Mate: Lee Freeman Lee has been working with Lady Marigot since 2018, when he joined as a deckhand. While sailing is one of his many strengths, Lee specializes in mechanical maintenance of all sorts. With a willingness to listen and learn, coupled with an acute ability to educate himself from any source (youtube included!) Lee continues to excel. Affable and endearing, polite and well-mannered, his youthful cheer and unyielding work-ethic makes for an invaluable addition to any crew or charter. With the ocean as Lee's principal passion, perhaps his greatest talent is free-diving and spear-fishing. Countless times he has returned to the boat with barracuda, snapper, spiny lobster, and more. Most daring of all, Lee usually spear-fishes at night, hundreds of yards off the coast of Saint Lucia in what is known as the St. Vincent channel. Lee also fixes cars in his free time and enjoys motorcycles, dirt-biking, and offroading. He hopes to one day be a Captain.
