Captain Lee Rosbach has sailed around many of the Caribbean islands while filming for Bravo’s hit yachting reality TV show Below Deck. However, Below Deck season 10‘s locations in Saint Lucia may have some the most challenging and choppy waters viewers have seen yet. Sailing on a bigger superyacht, St. David, Captain Lee (as well as his replacement Captain Sandy Yawn) and the rest of the Below Deck season 10 crew filmed in some stunning areas around the coast of Saint Lucia throughout early 2022. Here are all the Below Deck season 10 locations in Saint Lucia filmed on the show fans need to know.
Below Deck Season 10’s Rodney Bay Marina & Saint Lucia In The West Indies
Superyacht St. David docked in Rodney Bay Marina, Saint Lucia, on Below Deck season 10 (Bravo).
Rodney Bay Marina is the homebase for the season 10 crew aboard superyacht St. David. The Rodney Bay Marina provides patrons with a highspeed fuel dock, laundry services, private showers, customs and immigration, WiFi connectivity, provisioning services, and much more according to the marina’s website. Rodney Bay Marina’s GM gave a tour of the Saint Lucia harbor where Below Deck season 10 is set.
The first group of charter guests on season 10 had to be dropped off to shore by a tender because of the extreme winds and waves. Captain Lee was concerned docking would be too dangerous.
“You’ve got the trade winds down here, and it’s gonna blow,” said Captain Lee early on in season 10. “The weather in the Caribbean is unpredictable. And Saint Lucia, it’s way down the chain in the Windward Islands. They call the the Windward Islands for a reason. Rolling around like a goddamn pinball in a slot machine.”

The island’s location near the equator means it’s affected by the natural phenomenon of strong northwesterly winds due the trade winds. These strong winds occur due to the earth’s rotation at the equator and the strong currents in the area, which early sailing ships harnessed to speed up their journeys across the globe. Trade ships today still use the trade winds and currents to help expedite trips around the world.
