Meet the owner
Meet Captain Vincent.
The Real Deal Boat Tours is family-owned, locally rooted, and run with a whole lot of heart. We’ve been out on St. Lucia’s waters for over 20 years, and this island isn’t just where we work—it’s our home. It all started with Captain Vincent. He’s the soul of our company: friendly, honest, and genuinely loves showing and telling you about St. Lucia. What he doesn’t say in words, he shows in the way he treats every guest like an old friend.
Captain Vincent and his small, dedicated team don’t believe in ‘just another boat ride.’ They believe in creating moments you’ll smile about for years. That’s why so many people leave us saying it was the best day of their trip. We’re not here to impress you with a big sales pitch. We’re here to share our backyard with you, kindly, carefully, and with a warmth you’ll feel the moment you step on board.
