Basseterre is one of the most attractive towns in the Caribbean, with a range of both French and English architecture due to its history of colonisation by both countries. It is the main commercial and industrial centre of St. Kitts and is the main port of entry for both sea and air travel as well as being home to most of the island's shops.
Cruise ships arrive every day during high season and their lifeboats take priority on the main wall, bringing in hundreds of passengers.
Despite being a little off the popular cruising route, there is a boatyard here which is said to be one of the cheapest in the eastern Caribbean for leaving your boat strapped down during the hurricane season.
