Based in Gros Islet, St Lucia, the 80ft (24m) motor yacht TopShelf was built in 2007 by Hatteras. She offers 4 cabins – 1 King, 3 Queen – for up to 8 guests, with a crew of 3 who know these waters inside out.
Local Expertise
What sets TopShelf apart is her crew’s deep familiarity with St Lucia. They know the best anchorages, the hidden restaurants, and the quietest swimming spots that most visitors never find. Guests enjoy a swim platform alongside a daily rhythm shaped entirely by local knowledge and the group’s interests. At 11 knots, the best of St Lucia is always within easy reach, and the crew adapts each day’s plan around conditions and preferences.
Water Sports
5 water toys including two sea scooters, a Seabob, and an e-foil are on board. The 13ft Tender connects guests to beaches, villages, and snorkeling sites across the area. All equipment is managed by the crew so guests stay focused on enjoying each stop.
