Starting a charter in St Vincent puts you in a prime jump-off spot as you are on the door stop of the Grenadines. With each new island in the archipelago within sight of the last, there are no long passages to make, just a beautiful range of islands to visit, each with something new and memorable to offer. Have a look at our sample itinerary below.....
- Day 1: Meet your yacht at Young Island Cut, St Vincent.
Take an Island tour in the afternoon to Trinity Falls a thundering waterfall within the tropical rainforest. Or for the avid hiker, take on the Soufriere Volcano – a spectacular journey to the peak.
- Day 2: After breakfast, relax and enjoy the eight mile sail to Admiralty Bay, Bequia.
Spend the afternoon exploring the capital town Port Elizabeth, take an Island tour to the Turtle sanctuary or enjoy the excellent diving at Devils Table – a pretty dive of reef fish and interesting pillar coral formations.
- Day 3: A short sail to Petit Nevis.
Explore the old whale rendering facilities ashore and snorkel the shore line before lunch and before setting sail for Mustique. Once anchored in Britannia Bay, take a late afternoon walk along the shore to Basil’s Bar – one of the Caribbean’s most famous beach bars, or take an Island tour to Macaroni Bay for a swim.
- Day 4: A two hour morning sail to Canouan.
In the afternoon take on a round of golf at the Raffles resort or take the yacht to Corbay for a snorkel or scuba dive. There are walls with giant boulders and sloping reefs where turtles and rays are often spotted.
- Day 5: A short hop to the National Park of Tobago Cays.
These small deserted Islands are sheltered by the horse-shoe shaped reef, and the water and reef colours are a kaleidoscope of gold brown, blue, turquoise and green. There are small sand beaches and clear waters – it is just stunning! Relax and enjoy the view, snorkel or dive the reefs. In season, your chef can buy fresh lobster from the local fishermen.
- Day 6: Visit Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau in the morning, and enjoy the fabulous views.
This beautiful bay has a sweeping half-moon beach, and a woodland atmosphere. Enjoy a downwind sail to Chatham Bay, Union Island. An unspoiled large protected anchorage with a long beach and some great snorkelling. This is a perfect anchorage to try out some water-skiing, tubing or wakeboarding!
- Day 7: After an early morning swim set sail for Clifton.
After an early morning swim set sail for Clifton, where you depart the yacht and take an island hopper flight back to St Vincent.
