The Tobago Cays Marine Park, with its horseshoe reef, turtle-populated sea grass and crystalline lagoon, is among the Caribbean’s most rewarding charter destinations, and at 125,000 euros per week the yachts available to explore it run between 40 and 50 metres, crewed by six or seven and carrying a full complement of watersports. These are capable vessels built for the tropics: air conditioning throughout, shaded deck spaces, and a tender programme that makes the most of the marine park’s geography. The wider itinerary extends from the Tobago Cays outward to Mayreau, Union Island, Palm Island and Petit St Vincent, each within a short day sail. Sailing yachts in this bracket suit the trade-wind passages of the Grenadines particularly well, while motor options provide flexibility when the wind drops. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent to the base rate, covering fuel, food, marina fees and drinks for the week. Peak season from December to April delivers reliable conditions and full rates. The shoulder months from May to November reduce the traffic in the anchorages significantly and open scope for rate discussion on some vessels. Guests of eight to ten travel in private cabins with dedicated heads and spend the core of the day in and around the sea.
