Learn more about the Grenadines

The Grenadines are perfect for those who are looking for blissful peace and quiet on their sailing vacation, especially in places such as Saltwhistle Bay in Mayrau and Petit St Vincent. If you are after something a little more vibrant, however, the island of Canouan offers more in the way of entertainment with its famous golf courses and casino, or Bequia is the place to go if you're looking for high-quality restaurants.

St Vincent and the Grenadines are a group of islands that make up one country in the Windward Islands. If you're looking to spend your winter in the warm Caribbean sunshine then a yacht charter is the perfect solution. The sailing season in the Grenadines lasts longer than the rest of the Caribbean with consistent prevailing winds through to the later spring months.

When Is the Best Time to Charter a Yacht

All inclusive.

Typically this includes all your breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. Standard Ship's Bar which includes your alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Fuel for the yacht and its tender, and the necessary water for the onboard facilities. Use of the Yacht’s onboard equipment and the Captain, Chef and Crew’s services.

Excluded are airport transfers costs, onshore excursions and tours, as well as any food or beverages purchased ashore. Although optional, crew gratuity is customary at 15% - 20% of the charter rate for the Caribbean and 10% - 15% for the Mediterranean.

Plus Expenses

Included are the Yacht and its onboard equipment as well as the Captain, Chef and Crew’s services.

Excluded are food and beverages, fuel for the yacht and its tender, any dockage, airport transfers costs, onshore excursions and tours, as well as any cruising permits, licenses and other charter related expenses. Crew gratuity, although optional is customary at 15% - 20% of the charter rate for the Caribbean and 10% - 15% for the Mediterranean.

Advanced Provisioning Allowance:

For "Plus Expenses" charters, yachts request an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), which is generally estimated at 20% - 25% of the base charter fee for sailing yachts (catamarans and monohulls) and at 30%-35% for motor yachts. The APA essentially creates a bank account for the Captain to purchase provisions, fuel, dockage, food, beverages, bar, and other consumables on the charterer's behalf. The Captain will keep all receipts and manage a running balance of the account, so that expenditures can be checked at any time. Any amount not used will be refunded at the end of the charter. If during the charter the costs have exceeded the collected APA, then additional funds will be required for the outstanding bills. All purchases are transparent and nothing is marked up. The APA is used purely for the charterer's provisions and charter-related expenses.

Grenadines Yacht Charters

Explore remote anchorages and dense tropical setting on your luxury yacht charter in the grenadines.

Grenadines yacht charters offer the ultimate escape in the Caribbean. Strewn down the eastern waters of the Caribbean, the Grenadines stretch from St Vincent in the north to Grenada in the south.

St Vincent and the Grenadines consist of 32 islands and cays strung out over 98km of strikingly blue sea, each one a short hop from the next. Southernmost of the Windward Islands and named the Spice Island, Grenada is one of the more sleepy Caribbean islands.

In the Grenadines, life moves at a much slower pace, with every moment of the day savored to the fullest.

Instead of large resorts and hotels, you’ll find quaint, family-owned shops, bars and restaurants, lush rainforests, farmers’ markets, white sand beaches, and the clearest blue water across 32 islands and cays. A private yacht charter in the Grenadines is the perfect venue to explore this tropical paradise.

Grenadines Yacht Charter Highlights

• Unspoiled natural beauty
• Pristine white sand beaches
• Clear aquamarine waters and stunning bays
• Lush tropical rainforests full of eco-adventure
• 32 islands and cays to explore
• A safe haven during hurricane months

Grenadines Yachting: All Year

The dry season is from January through May and a wet season from June to December. However, even in the “rainy season” the weather in the Grenadines is normally very sunny with only brief showers during the day.

The winds are constant at 10 to 25 knots from NE to SE, making the Grenadines a great sailing destination.

The islands are not affected by storms during the hurricane season, making chartering in the summer pleasant and safe.

Yacht Charters in the Grenadines – Things to See & Do

32 Enchanting Islands and Cays

The Grenadines is comprised of quaint, verdant, and often uninhabited islands and cays. Head to St. Vincent for its white sand shores and secluded coves. Visit the cultural center of Bequia with its galleries and artisan shops. Venture to Grenada’s nature trails and 45 beaches. Explore the natural wonder that is the Tobago Cays National Marine Park. For the ultimate escape, Mustique is one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive hideaways.

Untouched by Industry and Heavy Tourism

The beauty of The Grenadines has not been spoiled by sprawling resorts and hordes of tourists. Booking a crewed yacht charter here promises carefree sailing, harbors that aren’t overcrowded, and unrivaled views of the breathtaking surroundings. You’ll be able to have a truly relaxing time since you won’t have to compete for anchorages and beach space or spend time in long lines for attractions. It is also the only place in the Caribbean where you can see petroglyphs that record ancestral history.

Lush Rainforests

Ecoadventurers will love the abundant rainforests in The Grenadines. St. Vincent’s Vermont Nature Trail promises memorable hikes surrounded by exotic tropical flora and unique creatures like St. Vincent Parrot. Measuring almost 11,000 acres, there are hiking trails for all ages and skill levels. Make your way to the Parrot Lookout on the far side of the reserve to see these majestic birds in their natural habitat.

Natural Beauty of the Grenadines islands

The Grenadines are unlike anywhere else in the world – from Mustique’s sandy beaches to Grenada’s volcanoes. Many of the islands and cays are only accessible via boat, so Grenadines yacht charters are the best way to fully experience everything there is to offer. Add the Tobago Cays National Marine Park to your itinerary, where you can get up close to its colorful coral reefs and exotic marine life. Stop for a swim on one of the pristine sandy beaches, or indulge in world-renowned diving.

Relaxed Pace and Sleepy Old-Worldliness

If escaping the fast pace of everyday life, The Grenadines offers an idyllic paradise for those craving a truly relaxing getaway. It’s a great place to unplug and master the art of liming, an important aspect of island culture where you and your charter group essentially do nothing while sharing food, drink, conversation, and stories. If you’re not sure how to lime, the friendly locals would be happy to guide you along the way.

Sample Exotic Fruits and Spices

In an area of the world that is so lush and green, you are sure to find some of the freshest Caribbean fruits. Sink your teeth into sweet tropical pineapples, coconut, juicy mangos, papaya, starfruit, passion fruit, pomegranate, crisp golden apples, and guava. Breadfruit is also prominent in the regional cuisine and is often paired with fish. The Grenadines are also known as “The Spice Islands,” so the markets are filled with the aroma of anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, turmeric, and cloves.

Swimming with Turtles

During your luxury yacht charter in the Grenadines, see the world-famous green and hawksbill turtles at the Tobago Cays Marine Park. The best place to spot them is at the only nature sanctuary in the Grenadines, just off the southeastern shores of Baradal. Watch them gracefully swim by from the comfort of your yacht, or grab your snorkel gear, dive into the clear, shallow waters, and swim alongside them.

Sailing Qualifications

To skipper a bareboat charter or flotilla yacht, you need to hold a practical sailing certificate equivalent to RYA Day Skipper Practical qualification or RYA International Certificate of Competence (ICC) . For charters in Greece, you must now have the ICC certificate . You must also be assisted by at least one competent crew member over the age of 18.

The port authorities in Greece are now insisting on one of the following practical certificates: RYA ICC (International Certificate of Competence), RYA Coastal, RYA Yachtmaster, ASA IPC (International Proficiency Certificate) or the IYT (International Yacht Training) Passport. If you hold an RYA Day Skipper or ASA104 it will no longer be accepted and you need to obtain either an ICC or IPC from the corresponding issuing body (RYA or ASA). If your RYA Coastal/Yachtmaster or ASA105/106 certificate is more than 12 years old and does not have a photo ID, then we would also strongly advise applying for an ICC or IPC. If you are a member of the RYA or ASA, you may qualify for a discount or free certificate, otherwise, you will have to pay. The approximate cost is £50. Please use this link - RYA application for the ICC or ASA application for the IPC.

For charters in Croatia, Malta and the Canaries , at least one member of the crew or the skipper will also need a VHF licence .

RYA qualifications can be obtained by RYA sailing schools in the UK or alternatively choose from one of our overseas centres in Gibraltar, Greece or Turkey .

For  Seychelles,  the local authorities require an ICC for the skipper of a bareboat or flotilla yacht charter.

For Caribbean and Tropical charters, formal qualifications are not compulsory, however, you should be Day Skipper standard and be assisted by at least one competent crew . A brief sailing resume should be provided to outline your experience.

For Thailand A Day Skipper qualification is required as a minimum and you must have at least 3 weeks of skippering experience prior to your charter. A VHF qualification is compulsory.

The lush green islands of the Grenadines rise up out of the emerald Caribbean Sea stretching from the Spice Island of Grenada in the south as far as St Vincent, 50 miles to the north. These beautiful, unspoilt islands each have a unique character and it is worthwhile giving yourself plenty of time to explore the archipelago.

What is the weather like in the Caribbean?

The Caribbean Islands see warm temperatures year-round averaging 28-31ºC throughout the year. 

The hottest months

The hottest months are August and September when the waters are at their warmest.

It should be noted it is hurricane season between June and October.

The wettest months

The wettest and most humid months are September and October.

What are the sailing conditions in the Caribbean?

The best time to sail in the Caribbean is from November to June.

Temperatures stay pretty consistent year-round, averaging 28-32 o C with the majority of the rain falling between July and the end of October.

Steady trade winds blow at 15-25 knots during the peak months of December to April, lightening slightly between June and November.

How much is a yacht charter in the Caribbean?

The cost of your yacht charter depends on several factors:

The type and size of the yacht you book will dictate the price. A 1 week charter on a 2 - 3 cabin monohull starts around £1400 in low season whereas a 1 week charter on a luxury catamaran with a skipper in high season could be upwards of £10,000. These are the 2 extremes of the scale for a 1 week charter and we offer plenty of choices in between.

Charter duration

1 week is a popular choice amongst our sailors and makes the perfect short Caribbean getaway. However, to make the most of your time sailing the Caribbean islands, a 10 day or 2 week yacht charter may be just the thing. We provide custom bareboat bookings which can be tailored to your timescale.

Time of Year

Lower-priced yacht charters are available in the low-season of June to the end of October with prices starting to rise in November before peaking from December to April.

Don't have any sailing experience? No problem! We offer several skippered and crewed options so you can enjoy the yachting lifestyle without the stress. From a simple skippered yacht to fully crewed options, we can arrange a charter to suit your needs.

What are the mooring fees like in the Caribbean?

The mooring fees in the Caribbean vary depending on your sailing destination. There are very few marinas compared to sailing in the Mediterranean so most nights you are on anchor in a bay with a classic Caribbean white sand and palm tree beach.

In areas such as the British Virgin Islands, many locations have laid buoys which cost around US$30/night and give you a safe mooring within minutes of sailing into the bay.

What qualifications do I need to sail in the Caribbean?

Although useful to have one, a sailing license, certificate or qualification is not required for a Caribbean yacht charter, however, our partners will need to see a complete sailing resume.

The sailing resume for a Caribbean yacht charter must demonstrate experience as a skipper of a similar type and size (within five feet) of the yacht as the one you are looking to charter. The experience should also be recent and the company will look for experience within the last five years. 

How long does it take to sail the Caribbean?

A 1 - 2 week charter will give you the optimum time to explore the Caribbean islands, from the palm fringed white sandy beaches to the hidden coves and underwater paradise. Our knowledgeable team can assist you with a custom charter to suit your needs.

We have various 1 and 2 week sailing itineraries for bareboat sailing holidays in the Caribbean that have been personally tried and tested by our team.

Yacht Charters In The Grenadines

Fringing the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, the islands of the Grenadines, including the famed St. Vincent, are prime for exploration via luxury yacht.

During your luxury yacht charter in the Grenadines, West Indies, you will have 32 islands to explore, all offering different views and local flair. The largest island in The Grenadines is St. Vincent. This is an ideal starting point for your Grenadines yacht charter. Here, you can visit the largest city and capital of the island chain, Kingstown. Despite its size, St. Vincent is more sleepy than its sister islands. It is brimming with local fishing villages – perfect for procuring fresh seafood for meals during your private yacht charter – and lots of land-based activities.

If you’re keen to work up a sweat, the island’s volcano, Soufrière, is worth a visit and a hike. Alternatively, visit Vermont Valley and trek through a tropical rainforest while keeping your eyes peeled for the island’s famous parrots. If a less strenuous pursuit is on your to-do list, the Botanic Gardens of Kingstown are worth a visit, as is the colonial-era Fort Charlotte.

Visit beautiful Bequia on your Grenadines yacht charter

Once you’ve explored St. Vincent, it will be time to cruise to another of the Grenadines; a popular favorite is Bequia. 

Diving and snorkeling enthusiasts will want to head under the waterline, as the reef off the coast is worth a visit. Here, there are plenty of sea creatures to see, including octopuses, seahorses, and manta rays, as well as vibrant corals. All that underwater activity will mean that you will surely work up an appetite, and luckily, Bequia has plenty of beachside restaurants and bars for wining and dining.

Ultra-exclusive Mustique and Union Island

Mustique is an exclusive island where the rich and famous play and is an ultra-luxurious Grenadines yacht charter destination. History abounds here in the picturesque villages with cobbled streets and remnants of plantations that can be found. 

Union Island is another must-visit during your Grenadines superyacht charter with its beautiful flora and fauna, white sand beaches, and abundance of spots to check out ashore.

The Grenadines are a chain of islands located in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, forming part of the Lesser Antilles. They stretch from St. Vincent in the north to Grenada in the south and are divided into two main groups: the Windward Islands and the Grenadines.

What are the must-visit destinations on a Grenadines yacht charter?

• Hike Mount Soufriere on the island of St. Vincent and peer into the volcano’s crater. From the summit, you’ll also enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Grenadines, the Caribbean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.
• Visit Kingstown, the vibrant capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Explore the islands’ rich history and culture, and head to the local market to discover fresh, local produce. Just outside of the city are the picturesque botanical gardens, the oldest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. Make sure you leave time to explore the former British garrison of Fort Charlotte, built in the 19th century, before enjoying some local cuisine at one of the many eateries.
• Cruise to Union Island, considered one of the Caribbean’s best-kept secrets. Enjoy vast expanses of golden sands and lush, tropical landscapes. Head to one of the island’s local beach eateries for lip-smacking, traditional island fare, such as Big Sands Beach and Sparrows Beach Club. For the adventurous, hike Mount Taboi, the highest point in the Grenadine Islands at 999ft (304m) tall. Finally, make sure you visit Chatham Bay, a stunning bay with brilliant blue water and a picturesque white sandy beach.
• Drop anchor in Bequia during your crewed charter in the Grenadines and soak up the sun on some of the Caribbean’s best beaches. Bequia’s beaches are great for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. Have your private charter yacht’s crew set up a picnic lunch or BBQ for you right on the beach. For those who feel like stretching their legs, visit the Bequia Heritage Museum, which explores the island’s maritime history, including boatbuilding and whaling, or the well-preserved ruins of Spring Plantation, which operated in the 18th and 19th centuries.
• Visit the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary, a privately run turtle sanctuary on the island of Bequia, which aims to preserve the endangered Hawksbill Turtle.
• Dive the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park located in shallow waters off Molinere Point. The sculptures were created by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor, and, in addition to being an underwater exhibit, they also serve as an artificial reef.
• Visit the Royal Mount Carmel Waterfalls on the island of Grenada, which plunge more than 700ft.

What sets the Grenadines apart from other Caribbean yacht charter destinations?

Part of the appeal of St. Vincent and the Grenadines is that it is a lesser-known Caribbean destination, meaning it is often much quieter than other superyacht destinations, even during peak season. The islands boast a laid-back vibe and untouched natural beauty, meaning this is the destination to unwind and relax. As the Grenadines is an under-the-radar destination, it gives the islands a sense of seclusion, making St. Vincent and the Grenadines a great destination for those seeking elevated levels of privacy. If you want to enjoy a luxury yacht charter in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, contact the charter experts at Northrop & Johnson.

What are the best activities to enjoy during a yacht charter in the Grenadines?

For the adventurous, there are numerous hiking opportunities, and Northrop & Johnson can arrange for private guided tours of in-land attractions. There are also ample beachside bars, restaurants, and luxury resorts where you can enjoy local cuisine. Below the waves await stunning tropical reefs and shipwrecks.

What type of yacht should I opt for in the Grenadines?

Whether you choose to explore the Grenadines aboard a luxury motor yacht or sailing boat will depend on your personal preference.

Luxury motor yachts typically offer more volume and onboard amenities than similarly sized vessels, making them especially popular with families and larger groups of friends who desire space and privacy. Motor yachts often boast enhanced comfort levels, while additional features such as lifts make them more accessible.

Sailing yachts, on the other hand, are a great option for those who desire the thrill and romance of sailing. Hoist up the sails and harness the power of Mother Nature while exploring the Grenadines island chain at your own pace, while enjoying only the sound of the sails fluttering in the wind and the Caribbean Sea lapping at the boat’s hull. Many of the world’s finest luxury sailing yachts now rival their motor yachts when it comes to onboard comfort and amenities. Furthermore, a sailing yacht is the preferred choice for charterers seeking an eco-friendly cruising experience.

What is the best time to charter a yacht in the Grenadines?

The best time to charter a yacht in the Grenadines is during the winter months when there is the least chance of rain and the weather is less humid. The Caribbean yacht charter season typically runs from October until the end of March, with the peak months being December and January. The summer months in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are hurricane season. While it’s still possible to enjoy a yacht charter during these months, expect more humid temperatures and a higher chance of rain. Of course, a key benefit is that there will be far fewer crowds. If you visit during June and July, you’ll also get to enjoy the carnival season, with its colorful street parades, music, and dancing.

How much is a Grenadines yacht charter?

The cost of a Grenadines yacht charter will depend on several factors, including the length of the charter, the size of the vessel, the shipbuilder, the yacht’s age, and onboard amenities. The starting price for a Grenadines yacht charter is around US$50,000 for a week and can go up to over a million for the world’s finest superyachts and mega yachts. On top of the base charter rate, there will also be additional costs for VAT and the Advanced Provisioning Allowance, or APA, which covers non-fixed costs such as fuel, provisions, and excursions ashore.

Is it possible to enjoy a bareboat charter in the Grenadines?

While bareboat yacht charters are certainly possible in the Grenadines, Northrop & Johnson specializes in luxury crewed charters only.

What other yacht charter destinations are in the same area of the Grenadines?

Other yacht charter destinations that are in the same area of the Grenadines include:

• Yacht Charter Antigua
• Yacht Charter Barbados
