The Caribbean dry season, from December to April, brings the steadiest trade winds and least rainfall, and is the most popular window. May and June also sail well, with quieter anchorages and lower rates before the Atlantic hurricane season sets in.
Most charters begin at one of the chain’s international gateways: Saint Lucia (Hewanorra or George F. L. Charles), Grenada (Maurice Bishop International) or Martinique. Each connects to Europe and North America seasonally, with the yacht based nearby at Rodney Bay, Le Marin or Grenada’s south coast.
Tobago Cays and Bequia’s Admiralty Bay anchor the Grenadines’ reputation, while Marigot Bay and the Pitons anchorage are Saint Lucia’s signature stops. Grenada’s south coast around Prickly Bay offers well-protected shelter at the chain’s southern end.
A full run from Saint Lucia to Grenada takes ten to fourteen days at an easy pace. A week suits a shorter leg, such as Saint Lucia through the Grenadines to Bequia, or the Grenadines down to Grenada.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs roughly June to November, and Grenada in particular sits far enough south to be considered below the main hurricane belt, one reason it is a popular base at that time of year. Most charter itineraries and yacht insurance are still built around the December to June window for a straightforward booking.
