CARIBBEAN YACHT RENTAL
Windward Islands Yacht Charter Itinerary
The best way to experience this magical region is onboard a Caribbean yacht charter, with or without a crew. A trip of a lifetime is to set sail from any of the principal Grenadine islands -- Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, the Tobago Cays, Union Island, Palm Island or Petit St. Vincent (listed north to south) -- and park yourself at another idyllic anchorage to watch the sunset.
Arrive at St Lucia airport (served by American Airlines) to be greeted and transported to Rodney Ray Marina by the crew. Relax, unwind and unpack to settle in aboard your new home for the next week. Rent a 4-wheel drive vehicle for some exploring or hiking, stroll the shops or take an afternoon swim. Tomorrow is a big day.
Day 1
Begin the day cruising onboard a Caribbean Yacht Charter to Soufriere, St. Lucia and the famous Pitons. For sheer physical beauty, the area around here is outstanding. Soufriere is a small picturesque town of French Creole ancestry. This is a huge day for photographers. The Pitons are sheer mountains that start at the sea and tower 2600 feet almost straight up.
Day 2
Today your yacht charter will leave St. Lucia behind and travel at high speed for St.Vincent and the Grenadines. Home of the 3000' active Soufriere Volcano (not to be confused with the town we just left). The daring in your group will hike the well-marked path to the cone for lunch and enjoy breathtaking views. Others will enjoy a small boat trip to the Falls of Baleine. We’ll spend the night anchored in Chateaubelair, the most scenic anchorage in St. Vincent or Cane Garden near Kingstown (and shopping) the capital.
Day 3
Leaving after breakfast we arrive at the island of Bequia. An old whaling island Bequia, is a favorite among yachtsmen. Boats are still built by hand on the beaches there. Descending from Scots and French, the inhabitants of Admiralty Harbor are proud people. Diving is exceptional and can be arranged for you by the crew onboard your Caribbean charter. A land tour is recommended to appreciate this tropical Nantucket.
Day 4-5
We’ll spend the next two days sailing in the Caribbean, in and around Mayreau, in the heart of the Grenadine Islands. This small outpost of islets consists of powdery beaches and the bluest water you will ever see. Two days of water sports, beach parties, snorkeling, and exploring the wonders of this gem in the Caribbean. The calm Tobago anchorage sits behind a huge reef protecting it. The only thing between you and the coast of Africa is water.
Day 6
As your Caribbean yacht leaves the splendor of the Grenadines it will be tough on you, but the famous island of Grenada awaits us. Lush green mountains, waterfalls and golden beaches. Grenada is the "Isle of Spice" due to the abundance of spice trees, not its lively history. Grenada is now a full democracy and has embraced tourism fully. Today and tomorrow will only give you a taste of this island's treasures ensuring your return. A Crater Lake, waterfall after waterfall and the monkeys. Touring this island is a safari.
Day 7
Today is your day. Spend it anyway you like here in Grenada before you have to say goodbye and travel to the airport (American Airlines). Revisit, shop or swim and snorkel. Its up to you because by evening you’ll be back home relaxed after an unforgettable Caribbean sailing vacation.
