Experience

Short Cruises in the Grenadines

Take 1–5 nights away from your hotel or villa to explore Tobago Cays, Mayreau and the other Grenadine highlights.

If you want to add a little something to your holiday, charter one of our yachts for a day, two or three. Our experienced skippers tailor the cruise to your crew — whether you explore the islands, learn the ropes or simply relax. The Grenadines have world-famous beaches, secluded bays and bustling ports, and the surrounding islands are all within easy reach — sail to Mustique for the day from Bequia or Isle de Quatre, or overnight at Tobago Cays with a lobster BBQ on your own private beach.

How does it work?

A typical day includes anchoring off for a refreshing swim and snorkel, a visit to a neighbouring island for lunch, and as much or as little sailing as you'd like. Our skippers know the area inside out and will suggest the ideal trips tailored to you — making it a hassle-free experience.

Alternatively, choose exactly where you wish to visit. We're happy to do some informal training and give you the opportunity to sail the boat. The cruise can be tailored to your requirements, food and drinks can be provided, and all-inclusive packages are available.

Required experience

None — your skipper is happy for you to take part in as much or as little of the sailing as you like.
