Practical
Position set at IGY Rodney Bay Marina (approx). The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority describes a smaller, community-driven three-day regatta in Rodney Bay with cruising and racing classes, and an international fishing tournament hosted at IGY Rodney Bay Marina for anglers from the Caribbean, US and Europe; it also lists Dive Fest, a water-borne party cruise and a Laborie fishing festival. Dates change each year: check the tourism authority's water-events page. Mercury Fest (an August beach-party weekend that returned in 2026, with a Poker Run by boat and music at Pigeon Island) also centres on Gros Islet.
