Caribbean Yacht Charter: Grenada
 |
Grenada (the Spice Island) is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean island chain. Our Caribbean charter yachts are based in Port Louis in St Georges Bay, the capital of Grenada; an ideal place to start and finish your Caribbean sailing holiday cruise. Port Louis is a fantastic new marina development 5 miles from Grenada's Port Salines International airport. Situated close to Pandy and Grand Anse beaches, it is a wonderful spot to relax. Port Louis is also protected from any swell as it is located in a natural lagoon on the lee side of the island - it is the calmest harbour in Grenada. Grenada's airport has direct flights from London, Miami and other international airports. The Grenada sailing festival at the end of January is a fantastic time to visit Grenada and take part in the parties and sailing. |
Suggested itinerary sailing from Grenada: All itineraries are flexible. When we meet you in Grenada, we will be pleased to spend time discussing and offering advice on planned destinations, moorings, bays, restaurants etc.. We will always be at the end of the phone and VHF also during the week if you are looking for further suggestions whilst on route. If you are on a skippered sailing cruise, all our skippers know the islands and sailing area very well and will be able to advise on suitable local stopovers, aiming to tailor your cruise to your preferences. A one week itinerary could easily take in some local cruising round Grenada, Carriacou, Petiit St Vincent, Petit Marinique, Union Island, Palm Island, Tobago Cays, Mayreaux, and also Canoan. A two week itinerary would expand your sailing area from the itinerary above to include Bequai, Mustique, St Vincent, and possibly St Lucia. The choice is yours. Have a tortoise itinerary and spend more time exploring the islands each time you stop or take a hares itinerary and visit many more destinations. |
Grenada on shore: Take an island tour and explore the waterfalls, mountain trails, spice plantations, chocolate and rum factorys and coconut plantation - to name a few highlights. Known as the "Isle of Spice" Grenada has become famous for its fragrant spice trees. Or why not plan your trip round one of the sailing festivals in the area. |
