Have you ever wondered what it would be like to rise with the sun as it peeped from the ocean's horizon? To stretch that first stretch and to breathe in the balm of an air that's as fresh as the waves? To tiptoe outside to the sight of the gulls as they glide on the soft trade wind breezes? And what if the doors to your five-star room opened onto the crystal-blue ocean? And the smell of your breakfast wafted sweet on the air as you dipped with the sun not quite risen? And what if instead of a concrete skyline you saw mountains in tropical splendor? And a green sprinkling of islands creating a pathway through oceans as blue as the sky? Few things conjure up idyllic visions as clearly as the thought of a yachting trip. Isolated beaches, romantic moonlit evenings, swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, walks, hikes, island explorations, and island night life are but a handful of the possibilities available when you choose a sailing holiday in
St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Visit ten islands, or anchor by one; sit back and relax or take to the helm - the choice is always yours.
Turquoise waters, powder-white beaches, and secluded island adventures are all guaranteed components of the perfect sailing holiday taking you through this majestic volcanic world. Five-star meals are prepared in the delectable flavour of the islands and served to you in a comfortable cockpit — morning, noon, and night.Whether you opt for a “bareboat” or fully chartered vacation, St. Vincent is undoubtedly the prime jump-off spot. Starting here puts you on the doorstep of the Grenadines without the 65-mile sail (including a 5-hour open- water passage) from St. Lucia, or the 6 to 7 hour sail (often against the wind) from Grenada. The Moorings' new base in Canouan puts you in the very heart of the Grenadines. Captain yourself or enjoy the luxury of an all-inclusive Signature Vacation with a professional Captain and Chef.
St Vincent and the Grenadines is renowned throughout the world for fantastic sailing. Yachts must clear immigration and customs at the designated entry ports (Kingstown, Walliabou, St Vincent, Port Elizabeth, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Union Island,). Yachts charters and rentals include
Ever dream of chartering your own plane?
The aerial views from the air craft combined with the freedom to choose when and where you to go is unsurpassable. Seating from four to eight people the Aero Commmanders, Cessnas and Britten Norman Islanders can fly you through (or to) the Grenadines. The short flight times enable you to make the most of your precious holiday days. The charter companies will assist you in planning your ideal getaway.
Maximize your time and choose from the variety of boats (catamarans, sloops, cutters, ketches, trimarans and schooners) available from Vincentian boat charter companies. The regular trade winds of between 10 and 25 knots combine with gentle currents to create near perfect sailing conditions. If speed is more your thing, then take advantage of the available powerboat charters. Visit the islands, go deep-sea fishing or simply cruise along the dramatic St. Vincent coastline. Experienced captains and crews allow you to relax onboard and enjoy your days (or weeks!) outing.
