Embark on a Luxurious Windward Islands Yacht Charter Adventure

Embark on a mesmerizing yacht charter journey through the Windward Islands, where the Caribbean Sea meets the West Indies and unveils a world of stunning locations. Begin your adventure in St. Martin, known for its pristine beaches, and set sail south aboard a luxurious motor yacht or catamaran, feeling the breeze as you cruise towards the smallest inhabited island in the Grenadines. The Grenadine Islands, a chain stretching from Saint Vincent down to Grenada, are dotted with secluded coves perfect for water sports or simply relaxing on the sun-drenched decks.

As you explore southwards, the Tobago Cays will enchant you with their unspoiled beauty, offering some of the best snorkeling spots amidst vibrant coral reefs. Saint Lucia awaits with the majestic Petit Piton, providing a stunning backdrop for a sunset rum punch toast. Barbados and Martinique lie further south, offering a mix of vibrant culture, lush landscapes, and good deals on chartering experiences, especially from early October to mid December and from late July to early October, when the islands become a haven for winter escapees seeking the warmth of the Caribbean sun.

Throughout your journey, your experienced crew will guide you to the most breathtaking spots, from the Tobago shores to the tranquil waters of Dominica. Whether you’re after the thrill of sailing or the leisure of a motor yacht, this voyage offers an unparalleled opportunity to sail through the East Caribbean, north to south, amidst the islands’ natural splendor. With good deals available outside the peak season, your dream of a winter escape aboard a charter yacht through these pristine beaches and stunning locations can become a reality.

The Grenadines

Sprinkled between the volcanic peaks of St. Lucia and Grenada are a trail of palm-studded sandbars, coral reefs and islets known as the Grenadines. The unspoiled cruising grounds offer abundant natural beauty, ample dive sites, and some of the best fishing grounds in the world. Combined with a few days ashore on the Caribbean idyll of St. Lucia, a week-long charter aboard a luxury yacht cruising the islands allows you to experience a part of the Caribbean that has remained relatively unchanged over the centuries. These hidden gems offer something magnificent and unique; a yacht charter allows you to experience their individual beauty and charm in style and luxury.

St. Lucia

St. Lucia is one of the most naturally beautiful islands in the Caribbean and is the perfect place to spend a few nights acclimatizing to the Caribbean pace of life before stepping aboard your luxury yacht to cruise through the Grenadines chain of islands.

St. Vincent & Bequia

St. Vincent and the Grenadines consist of 32 islands and cays strung out over 60 miles of strikingly blue sea, each one a short hop from the next. Not too far from St. Vincent, the first island in the Grenadines archipelago, the island of Bequia is one of the most developed of the archipelago.

Mustique and the Tobago Cays

The glamorous and sophisticated island of Mustique offers a private retreat. At the same time, the lesser-known Petit St. Vincent is also a resort island welcoming superyacht guests ashore to enjoy barefoot luxury.

One by one, the aforementioned islands slowly prepare you for the main attraction in the Grenadines, the Tobago Cays. Comprising five uninhabited desert island idylls, they offer a wildlife reserve and marine park with a stunning kaleidoscopic underwater world. The varied coastlines and offshore islets throughout the archipelago offer ample opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and diving with all manner of sea life. It’s simply a question of flitting from idyll to idyll – all you need is your own luxury yacht.

With so much to offer and so many unique excursions and highlights, a Caribbean Windward Islands yacht charter is sure to be a hub of entertainment for every guest.
