Creator's Key Takeaways
We were set to visit St. Lucia for the first time as part of a 10-day cruise with Virgin Voyages on Resilient Lady out of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The cruise lines will have boat excursions available for St. Lucia. But as a travel adviser that gets commission on the sales of these excursions, I never recommend these to my clients since I'd never book excursions through the cruise lines myself.
Our yacht for the day was booked on the app Get My Boat, where you can bypass the tour operators that act as a middleman and book directly with the owner of the boat for big savings.
That comes out to $77 per person and half the cost of booking this through a tour operator.
