Alison and Michael Richings originate from the U.K. (Wirral) but have lived in St.Lucia since 1983.

They have owned and operated many restaurants and hotels, both in the UK and the Caribbean. In 1988 they purchased “San Antoine Restaurant” and during their 13 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.

Nestling into the warm golden sands of Reduit Beach (Rodney Bay), Spinnakers is now known by thousands of guests plus yachtsmen and women from all over the world!

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! A selection of the daily menu is listed on our “lunch menu” page.

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 Parmigiana, Fillet au Poivre or Lobster Thermidore!! – to name but a few local and international favourites. (See our menu page for our full current dinner menu selection). There is something for everyone with a wide range of prices, the freshest fish and lobster, you can often see our catch being delivered straight off the beach!

Contact us on our email address if you wish to pre-book a larger than normal party. 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.
