Marigot is about 30 minutes from the Moorings base. I probably wouldn't stay there. Might be better to just do a sleep aboard at the base.

I would highly recommend a stop in Marigot though and just see about docking there - docking (and a mooring ball as well I believe) gives you access to the Capella resort and it is a great resort!

Our boat was in St. Lucia, but since it was in Moorings, we pretty much only chartered in the BVI. But we did 3 trips there - 3rd was just a couple weeks ago to move the boat to the BVI and second we spent the whole time at Marigot Bay and enjoyed the resort with a day sail to the Pitons.

So first trip, we did go all the way south to the Tobago Cays. We stopped in St. Vincent (Moorings had a base there at the time), Bequai, Canouan and the Tobago Cays (maybe another stop as well, it was a while back).

This past trip while moving the boat, our first stop was isle de Saints which is part of Guadeloupe. We actually back tracked there after trying a Marina on the mainland of Guadeloupe. I'm glad we did as it was awesome. I think going North could be a great trip - Martinique and Dominica would be great stops as well and Isle De Saints is well worth a visit.

The only thing I find negative about that area is the boat boys and everyone else trying to sell you something. They are all a little to agressive and don't take no for an answer. Best answer I did find our last trip was to say "I don't have any money to tip". That sends them of pretty quick. Only other issue in that area (mainly south of St. Lucia) is that the crime is more of a problem. You need to be more aware of your situation and I'd never spend the night in a spot where there were no other boats.

Otherwise, a trip North or South could both be great.
