The Tobago Cays Marine Park and the surrounding southern Grenadines offer some of the Caribbean’s finest charter sailing at 75,000 euros per week. Yachts in this bracket run between 30 and 40 metres, crewed by three to five and built for exactly the kind of island-hopping, watersports-centred programme that the Grenadines rewards. Horseshoe Reef’s hawksbill turtles, the inner lagoon and the reef edge itself provide a full day’s diving and snorkelling without leaving the marine park. Mayreau’s Salt Whistle Bay is a five-mile sail west, one of the Caribbean’s most photographed anchorages, enclosed by a sandbar on three sides. Union Island’s Clifton Harbour provides the operational base for provisioning and fuel. Palm Island and Petit St Vincent extend the southern itinerary toward Grenada’s Carriacou if the week allows. The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent to the weekly base rate, covering fuel, food, marina fees and drinks. Peak season from December to April delivers stable trades and settled conditions. The shoulder months from May to November reduce anchorage traffic considerably and open scope for rate flexibility on some vessels. Guests of six to eight find that at 75,000 euros per week, the combination of a capable yacht, an experienced crew and the Grenadines’ natural setting is difficult to improve on at any price.
