St. Lucia: The Caribbean’s Iconic Volcanic Backlot
St. Lucia is a “luxe paradise” defined by its dramatic verticality and lush rainforests. Its visual soul is anchored by the UNESCO World Heritage Pitons—two towering volcanic spires that provide an unmistakable prehistoric silhouette. From the deep-water natural harbor of Marigot Bay (hailed as the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean) to the unique drive-in volcano at Soufrière and vibrant colonial architecture in Castries, the island offers a versatile range of high-end tropical and historic textures.
The Logistics Guarantee: While St. Lucia is a favored destination for blockbusters like Pirates of the Caribbean, its boutique infrastructure means high-end lighting, grip, and specialized camera tech are limited. Our Miami-based partner serves as your technical spine, tapping into “top-tier” crew and the latest equipment packages sourced directly from Miami. We manage weekly ocean freight and rapid air-charter logistics to bridge the gap. Since St. Lucia is not an ATA Carnet member, our team handles the complex temporary import bonds and National Park permits with surgical precision, ensuring a world-class execution in this emerald gem.

Michael lives in South Florida with two beautiful daughters, a gorgeous beach to the east, and the Everglades practically in his backyard. His kids will tell you that their dad is the bestest, until he refuses to buy them the latest iPhone.
