At 150,000 euros per week, the Tobago Cays and the surrounding southern Grenadines become accessible aboard yachts of 45 to 55 metres, crewed by eight and outfitted for extended charter in the tropics. These are well-maintained, expedition-capable vessels carrying stabilisers, full watersports programmes and tenders sized for longer excursions across the marine park. The Tobago Cays Marine Park sits at the southern end of a Grenadines itinerary that begins in Bequia and works south over five to seven days. Each anchorage offers a different character: Mustique for discretion, Canouan for the marina, the Tobago Cays for the reef and turtles, Mayreau for the sandbar bay. At this rate the advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 45,000 euros to the weekly charter cost, covering fuel, food, harbour dues and beverages. Peak season from December through April locks in rates and fills anchorages. The shoulder period from May through November is increasingly favoured for its lighter traffic and the scope it creates for unhurried stays in the Tobago Cays without the peak-season competition for preferred anchorage positions. Guests of 10 to 12 have the combination of private space and daily programme depth that this rate band delivers.
