At 50,000 euros per week, the Tobago Cays and the surrounding southern Grenadines are accessible on compact charter yachts of 20 to 28 metres, crewed by two or three who manage sailing, cooking and watersports in the most personal format available. This is the entry point of the charter spectrum in the Grenadines, and it delivers direct, unhurried access to one of the Caribbean’s finest natural marine environments. The Tobago Cays Marine Park sits at the southern end of the island chain, its horseshoe reef enclosing a lagoon of extraordinary clarity where hawksbill turtles feed year-round in the sea grass. At 20 to 28 metres, the yacht fits within most anchorages without difficulty, and the smaller stern makes boarding the water easier than from larger vessels. The passage from Union Island to the Tobago Cays takes under an hour under sail in the prevailing trades. Mayreau’s Salt Whistle Bay, Petit St Vincent and Palm Island are all within comfortable range. The advance provisioning allowance adds 30 percent to the base rate, covering fuel, food and marina fees. Peak season runs December to April; shoulder season from May to November offers the Grenadines at their quietest. Guests of up to six or eight find that at this scale, the charter becomes entirely personal in character.
