The Grenadines Charter Itinerary

The Grenadines Itinerary

The Grenadines Yacht Charter
The Grenadines are some thirty islands strung between St Vincent and Grenada, most of them small, several uninhabited, and each within sight of the next. The sailing is downwind, the water shallow and clear, and the passages short enough that the day belongs to the anchorage rather than the crossing.





They are also, still, unspoiled in a way most of the Caribbean is not. There are no cruise terminals here. Salt Whistle Bay is a sandbar with palms on it. The Tobago Cays are a marine park with nobody living in them and turtles that have never been chased.





Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the Grenadines; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

St Lucia

Join the yacht at Marigot Bay and work south along the St Lucian coast, the Pitons rising ahead through the haze. Dive Superman’s Flight, a wall beneath Petit Piton named for the film sequence shot above it, where the coral runs down past forty metres. A cocktail at altitude, and then south.

Day 2

Cumberland Bay, St Vincent

Cumberland is a deep bay under steep green hills, and you moor stern-to with a line ashore to a palm. Inland, Dark View Falls drop in two tiers into pools cold enough to be a genuine shock. Wallilabou next door keeps the pirate film set. St Vincent is lush, volcanic and largely undeveloped.

Day 3

Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau

Mayreau has one village, a few hundred people and no airport. Salt Whistle Bay is a crescent of sand so narrow you can stand in the middle and see the Atlantic breaking on one side and the Caribbean flat on the other. Paddleboard, kitesurf if the trade is up, and eat on deck as the sun goes down behind Union.

Day 4

Canouan

Canouan is five miles long and has a golf course laid across its ridge, which tells you the direction it has taken. Charlestown Bay is a good anchorage; Grand Bay is the better beach. Play a round if it appeals, or simply take the day at anchor and dine ashore by candlelight above the water.

Day 5

Tobago Cays

The reason people sail the Grenadines. Five cays behind Horseshoe Reef, uninhabited, protected, and full of green turtles that graze the seagrass in water shallow enough to stand in. Snorkel Petit Rameau for the coral and the starfish. Nothing here but sand, reef, and boats that have come a long way for it.

Day 6

Grenada

South to the Spice Isle, where nutmeg and cocoa grow up the volcanic slopes and the chocolate is made on the island rather than shipped raw. Grand Anse is two miles of sand. Annandale Falls is a short walk inland. Divers have the Bianca C ’ a cruise liner that burned in 1961 and lies in fifty metres.

Day 7

Grenada

A final day at anchor in the south, among the bays and lagoons that have made Grenada a hurricane refuge for generations of sailors. A last swim, a last painkiller on deck, and the trade wind still blowing steadily out of the east, as it has all week and will all season.
