Alison and Michael Richings originate from the Wirral in the UK but have lived in St.Lucia since 1983.

They have owned and operated a number of restaurants and hotels, both in the UK and the Caribbean. In 1988 they purchased San Antoine Restaurant and during their thirteen years of ownership San Antoine gained an international reputation for fine cuisine and service.

In 1993, they decided to develop a beach bar with a more relaxed and informal atmosphere, and on 7th December 1993, Spinnakers Beach Bar & Restaurant opened.

Nestled into the warm golden sands of Reduit Beach in Rodney Bay, St. Lucia's tourism hot spot, Spinnakers is now known by thousands of guests plus yachtsmen and women from all over the world! In particular Spinnakers serves as a home from home for the many ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) participants that make the annual trip across the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to St. Lucia. Please see the ARC page for details of this year's special events.

By day, we serve a variety of dishes from quick snacks (for those wishing to get back on the beach!) to a mega lobster salad! Our lunch menu provides a comprehensive selection of meals available, but we also feature daily specials subject to availability of fresh local produce.

Once the sun sets in front of our deck - a great sundowner spot, we start serving our evening menu. As the night darkens, the romantic atmosphere and ambience that only Spinnakers can offer, surrounds you. Now you can choose from our varied and extensive dinner menu - will it be St.Lucian Bouillabaisse, Veal Parmiagana, Fillet au Poivre or Lobster Thermidore?!? We have something to suit every taste and every budget, and only use the freshest ingredients - you can often see our catch being delivered straight off the beach!

Please see our Dinner Menu for our full current selection.

Please contact us if you wish to pre-book a special function. We can cater for up to 110 guests and have successfully hosted corporate parties, weddings and awards ceremonies. Also, for parties of between ten and twenty guests we can offer a barbeque under the stars with the sand between your toes and the waves gently lapping no more than 10 feet away!

Our general manager Linfus Mederick, will be happy to assist with any enquiry. He heads a team of over 30 staff, all dedicated to making your visit to Spinnakers a memorable occassion.
