WINWARD ISLANDS & GRENADINES SAILING YACHTS AND VACATIONS
St.Vincent and the Grenadines combine West Indian life with stunning small island privacy and offer consummate sailing conditions. St. Vincent has many attractions ranging from cathedrals and covered markets to botanical gardens and forts. On the volcanic island of Grenada, translucent waters lap at deserted beaches whose fertile green backdrops are teeming with wildlife sustained by freshwater streams and waterfalls.
The terrain of this island chain is absolutely stunning. The countryside of St. Vincent is covered in lush vegetation. Acres upon acres are cultivated with all kinds of herbs and vegetables. The water around the Grenadine islands provides an abundance of fish and shellfish. There are secluded beaches, natural waterfalls, and rainforests abundant in wildlife. Although the climate is hot, the constant trade winds will provide a cooling effect. Along with bountiful food markets and friendly people, what more do you need for a great charter experience.
Because this island chain has slightly longer distances apart than say the Virgins, sailing yachts that charter are generally above 60 feet in length for monohulls, with catamarans at least 45 feet. Summer months see more sailing yachts heading to the Grenadines than in the winter months as it is generally considered south of the hurricane belt. Super yachts though love the sailing distances between islands as you can head out for a wonderful sailing under a fresh Caribbean tradewind breeze.
Bequia is a window into the past, an old whaling port where wooden boats are still built on the beach.
Canouan with its small bays and coves and sweeping shoreline has also become a favorite base for sailors. The island is partially surrounded by the coral reef on the Atlantic side, which aids in the protection of the beautiful white sand beaches.
