St Lucia Safaris

St Lucia Safaris has the well-being of each and every guest who steps foot aboard our boat, Fannas - Spirit of St Lucia, in mind while our days begin. With regular morning safety and security checks before our clients arrive, we both prepare for the day ahead as well as make sure that our safety and preventive equipment is onboard and working to its intended capacity.

St Lucia Safaris has a regimen that all of our skippers and crew members must maintain in order to remain employed. This includes check the availability and readiness of our life jackets each morning. The checking of charge levels on the fire extinguishers aboard Fannas, as well as the maintaining of the accessibility of these extinguishers. Making sure that all of the flammable fluids used to fuel the boat are stowed in the correct containers and away from any and all potentially hazardous ignition sources. That the emergency kit is stocked and ready for any emergency usage.

All of our skippers are trained in waterbound firefighting techniques as well as CPR and emergency first aid. Along with this, our skippers are skilled operators of both long and short wave radio systems.

Although our skippers will be able to get very close to the animals seen on the tour, the lives of our guests and clients come first. We will never knowingly endanger any person that we have onboard.

Along with all of the abovementioned safety specifications, we are required to submit to a yearly DTR (waterworthiness) inspection from our national sea worthiness authority, Ocean Marine. If not passed with flying colors, we are immediately banned from operating. We have set an exemplary standard for passing our testing to this date, and plan on continuing to do so.
