St. Vincent & Grenada Sample Itinerary
St. Vincent & Grenada Sample Sailing Charter Itinerary:
Day 1
St. Vincent to Bequia where you will enter Port Elizabeth welcoming you with shops, restaurants and laid-back island flair. Spend the day wandering around the town, or if you have the energy, hike to the top of Mount Pleasant to get the best views of the surrounding islands. There is also a turtle sanctuary which is devoted to protecting hawksbill turtles.
Day 2
Visit the private island of Mustique, which is popular with celebrities who like to keep their private lives private! On shore you will find a handful of luxury shops and restaurants. Visit the Firefly, with a martini menu as spectacular as the harbor view. Take some time out to sip a cocktail made by the Mustique Martini Club, and watch the sun set over your yacht. After dinner, do some dancing under the stars, you could go to the famous Basil's Bar, run by Basil Charles, who is more commonly known as the King of the Mustique.
Day 3
Wake up and look through your binoculars to see the gorgeous aquamarine colors of the Tobago Cays. Enjoy some swimming and snorkeling around the local reefs of Mustique - keep a look out for some sea turtles gliding around you! This is the best place to make the most of your on-board water toys; try out water skiing, jet skiing and paddle boarding in the glistening waters. A beach barbecue after sunset is undoubtedly the best place to indulge in freshly caught lobster and twice-baked potatoes.
Day 4
Day 4 will bring you to Mayreau, the smallest of the inhabited islands in the Grenadines; its Old Wall Village is accessible only by boat. The long sandy beach and well protected harbor of Salt whistle Bay is the perfect spot to anchor while you swim, collect some shells and take the time to completely unwind. You can also visit the bar and restaurant at Dennis' Hideaway, for Caribbean cooking which specializes in seafood, and enjoy your evening meal with a stunning view as the sun goes down across the water.
Day 5
Enjoy a different view for another day of relaxation on Petit St. Vincent, an idyllic island south of Mayreau. Hike to the summit of Marni Hill following a path lined with rubber trees, local orchids and full of fresh air. Cool off with a leisurely swim and a snorkel when you return to your yacht.
Day 6
With very few hotels on the island of Carriacou, the sandy white beaches are almost always blissfully quiet. Find your piece of heaven to bask in the sun, whether you want to top up your tan, swim in the shallows or discover some of the island's vibrant sea life whilst snorkeling. After an afternoon in the sun, dine on board your yacht with the soft crashing of the waves sounding in the background.
Day 7
You can make it to Grenada by midday, so that you have the afternoon to explore the island. Whether you want to hit the shops and restaurants in St George's, the capital, tour the Belmont Estate cocoa plantation, or hike through the Grand Etang Rainforest to reach St Margaret's falls for a refreshing swim - there is something for everyone!
