Private Speedboat Snorkel: Anse Cochon & Anse de Piton Reefs

Board a private speedboat for an exclusive run down the west coast to the twin jewels of St. Lucia's underwater world — the volcanic reef gardens of Anse Cochon and the extraordinary Anse de Piton, where the Pitons plunge directly into the sea.

What to expect

The boat skims south at exhilarating speed, the Pitons growing taller with every nautical mile. Anse Cochon's reef is a riot of parrotfish, trumpetfish, and occasional seahorse — the volcanic substrate creates extraordinary hard coral formations. Anse de Piton, accessible only by boat, drops steeply into crystalline blue water directly beneath Petit Piton's 743m face — a snorkel experience unlike any other in the Caribbean. Cold drinks, snorkel gear, and reef-safe sunscreen are provided; the captain is the guide, the marine naturalist, and the storyteller all in one.
