day yacht charter itinerary in the grenadines

Are you going on a holiday to the Grenadines? Spend a day sailing their waters aboard a charter boat!

The Grenadines are a Caribbean archipelago of volcanic islands located in the heart of the Lesser Antilles, between the autonomous island states of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to the north and Grenada to the south. Most of these islands are very small, and their ownership is often disputed between scions of the modern aristocracy and famous rock stars. However, only ten of them are permanently inhabited.

They are characterized by multiple paradisiacal bays surrounded by palm trees, wonderful coral reefs home to a multitude of species of fish that swim free in extraordinarily blue waters.

These natural landscapes are almost completely untouched, starting with the lush rainforest, which can be visited on guided hikes. However, there is no shortage of accommodation and hospitality for tourists who come here from all over the world: exclusive boutiques, restaurants, and nightlife are integral to the tourist offer of these paradisiacal islands.

If you have planned a holiday in these parts and are curious about exploring a little around the island that hosts you, the ideal solution is to rent a boat (sailboat, catamaran, or yacht with an engine) for a day. It will certainly be an unforgettable experience, which will make your holiday even more memorable.

3 Sample Itineraries for your Day Charter in the Grenadines

Option 1 – Day yacht charter itinerary in the Grenadines

Saint Vincent – Bequia

Saint Vincent is the main island of the archipelago, and in its territory is the Argyle International Airport. Arriving at the port of the capital, Kingstown, immediately immerses you in the Caribbean atmosphere among the colonial buildings, the fish stalls, the rum, and the chocolate, while the crew will welcome you and introduce you to the performance and comfort of your charter boat.

There are many natural beauties to discover on this island. One example is Petit Byahaut Beach, with its black sand, surrounded by tropical jungle and an excellent snorkeling spot, as it is located a short distance from a coral reef full of tropical fish. Do not miss the historic places surrounded by greenery, such as Fort Charlotte. Benefit from the Caribbean wind aboard your catamaran that moves at cruising speed to reach nearby Bequia island, but first contemplate Old Hegg Sanctuary, a precious place dedicated to sea turtles victims of plastic being thrown into the sea.

Relax on the island’s magnificent beaches, such as Lower Bay with its golden sand, or with a mask and snorkel, to meet turtles, seahorses, octopuses, or manta rays. Conclude this extraordinary day with an aperitif on the beach before setting off to return to Saint Vincent.

Option 2 – Day Yacht Charter Itinerary in the Grenadines

Saint Vincent – Mayreau Island – Tobago Cay

This journey starts early in the morning aboard your charter catamaran to reach the smallest of the Grenadian islands, Mayreau, a peaceful retreat where the pace of life flows slowly. Snorkeling is truly fascinating at Mayreau Gardens: spend your time among the brightly colored fish of the coral reef and then have lunch with local products in the company of your loved ones on the comfortable flybridge of your vessel. If you want to hike, you can go up to the top of a steep hill to reach the picturesque Catholic church of Mayreau, or decide to leave after lunch towards the five almost uninhabited atolls that make up the Tobago Cays and which are part of the Tobago Cays Marine Park. It is a spectacular area where the turquoise water is great for snorkeling in search of tropical fish, while going a little further out, discovering entire coral gardens populated by stingrays, barracuda, and sea turtles. Leave for Saint Vincent for a trip with a view of the sunsets, while from the deck of your catamaran, you can taste a freshly caught lobster from the grill.

Option 3 – Day Yacht Charter Itinerary in the Grenadines

Saint Vincent – Carriacou

Set sail for the Caribbean Sea as you enjoy your rich breakfast aboard your charter yacht and admire the views and colors of the islands before reaching the safe and secure port of Tyrell Bay on the island of Carriacou. Your day is totally dedicated to the sea: in fact, here you will meet as many as 33 dive sites, ranging from 12 meters (39 feet) to a maximum of 30 meters (98 feet) in depth, with unique settings for underwater photography. You can observe a spectacular array of vibrant corals and fish, or spot great nurse sharks, barracudas as well as spotted eagles, hawksbill, and green turtles. Also nearby are two wrecks sunk in 2004 and 2007. At the end of your excursion on your sumptuous catamaran, savor the delicacies of the dinner prepared by the chef as you return to Saint Vincent.
