The itineraries we have chosen allow you to discover a part of the Lesser Antilles, that is, a group of volcanic islands arranged in an arch and located south-east of the Greater Antilles that ideally separate the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. This series of small islands is famous for being one of the best places to cruise, offering calm waters sheltered from strong winds and a considerable number of moorings.

To view in detail all the stops and spots of the above boat itineraries, ready carefully our article.

For our itineraries, we will use the island of Martinique, one of the most famous islands of this Caribbean archipelago, as the starting point and base camp.

It is possible to arrive here by air with direct flights from Paris. The island has indeed an airport near the capital, Fort-de-France.

This volcanic island has always been a mixture of different peoples and cultures resulting from different occupations that have followed one another over the centuries.

Today Martinique is part of the overseas territories of France, the official language is French and the Euro is its valid currency.

7 days around the Grenadines from Martinique

As we said, our tour starts on the Martinique island and more precisely from the modern Le Marin marina. Here we have the opportunity to prepare our boat (yacht, catamaran, or sailboat) and to carry out the briefing with the crew before departure.

Le Marin marina also offers a wide range of services and amenities including a supermarket, a bakery, a launderette, a post office, a tobacconist’s, a money exchange office, and a medical center.

Day 1

Martinique, Fort de France

The largest city in the French Antilles and the capital of Martinique, Fort de France is centrally located and easily accessible. It is a city rich in 19th-century history and architecture as well as offering its visitors a full range of shops, dining experiences and places to explore. Examples of this are the fruit and vegetable market founded in 1901, the Saint-Louis Cathedral, and the fort Saint-Louis.

It is worth spending a day in the jovial atmosphere of this city.

Day 2

Martinique, Anse du Céron

One of the most famous beaches on the island where you can enjoy some peace and tranquility between swimming and snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of this bay. Anse du Ceron is located in the northernmost part of the Martinique west coast.

Day 3

Martinique, Grande Anse D’Arlet

One of the most popular seaside towns in Martinique, it offers a truly characteristic and colorful glimpse into the life of the island. Tourists can choose whether to enjoy the golden sandy beach more than half a mile long, swim in crystal clear waters protected from the winds by the bay, or get lost in the narrow streets of the town.

Day 4

Saint Lucia, Rodney Bay

From Martinique, we head south towards and precisely towards the island of Santa Lucia. Here we discover Rodney bay, a well-served marina surrounded by protected waters that offers visitors easy access to restaurants, shops, and attractions.

Near the bay, you can reach a scenic area, beaches such as Reduit Beach, or the picturesque Pigeon Island National Park surrounded by pristine waters.

Day 5 – Day 6

Saint Lucia

Dedicating just one day to Saint Lucia seems very little to us and it is for this reason that we decide to stop in its waters for a few days, discovering some of its wonders.

Santa Lucia is one of the eight independent islands of the Lesser Antilles and among its countless points of interest, we certainly find the Piton mountains. located southwest, these two mountains have become the symbol of the island. Although roughly only 800 meters high, their triangle shape has become iconic and panoramic. If you love trekking, you cannot miss a walk among the paths that wind through the jungle of these two peaks.

Another island pearl is the picturesque town of Soufriere, which takes its name from a nearby volcano that is now extinct. Creole culture buildings with gingerbread finishes and balconies overlooking the alleys and streets create an Old World atmosphere.

Day 7

The time has come to decide whether or not to continue our tour. In the first case, we will head to Martinique to relax for one last day before departure, in the second case, the tour continues!

Day 8 – Day 9

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Determined to continue our boat charter in the Caribbean, we always head south to the island of Saint Vincent, the largest island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines country.

These territories have long been disputed, France and Britain fought for the island in the 18th century until it was ceded to the British in 1783, which is why English is the official language even though many locals speak a Creole dialect.

The island is a paradise with beautiful beaches like Wallilabou where scenes from the famous Pirates of the Caribbean movie were filmed.

In the restaurants of the capital, Kingstown, you can enjoy delicious Creole cuisine based on seafood such as crabs and lobsters.

Day 10

Bequia

A short sailing will take you to anchor at Admiralty Bay, Bequia’s main port on the west side of this island.

Bequia is better known for its lively nightlife and entertainment spots. In its main center, Port Elizabeth, the craftsmen work with wood building various sizes of wooden boats. Here you can also find fairs and markets where you can stock up on souvenirs.

Day 11

Balinceaux

Not far from Bequia, sailing south-east we find Baliceaux. A little bigger than a rock, it is another small pearl of the Grenadines.

It is nicknamed “the Cinderella of the Grenadines” due to the fact that, unlike the other neighboring islands, it is practically ignored by tourist flows. This fact, however, makes it exotic and mysterious.

Day 12

Mustique

The most exclusive island of the Grenadines. In fact, sumptuous estates and resorts have been built along the green slopes that characterize it, overlooking the pristine white sand beaches and the turquoise sea full of coral reefs.

Celebrities, business magnates, and royalty have made the island a haven for a select few but still rich in nature and unspoiled beauty.

Day 13 – Day 14

Tobago Cays

The Tobago Cays are a group of five uninhabited islets in the Antilles (Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau, Jamesby, Baradal, Petit Tabac).

They are part of the Grenadines archipelago and are protected by a large coral reef called Horseshoe reef and a second smaller reef called World’s End Reef. The pristine waters, abundant varieties of fish, and lovely beaches make the Tobago Cays home to the wonderful Tobago Cays Marine Park.
