Sample Itinerary

7 Days in the Winward Islands

Day 1: Awake and well fed, leave just after a breakfast on your yacht for a short cruise to Soufriere, St. Lucia, Winward Islands, and the famous Pitons. For sheer physical beauty, the area around here is outstanding. Soufriere is a small picturesque town of French Creole ancestry. This is a huge day for photographers. The Pitons are sheer mountains that start at the sea and tower 2600 feet almost straight up.

Day 2: Today we leave St. Lucia, Winward Islands, behind and travel at high speed for St.Vincent and the Grenadines in Winward Islands. Home of the 3000' active Soufriere Volcano (not to be confused with the town we just left). The daring in your group will hike the well-marked path to the cone for lunch and enjoy breathtaking views. Others will enjoy a small boat trip to the Falls of Baleine. We’ll spend the night anchored in Chateaubelair, the most scenic anchorage in St. Vincent or Cane Garden near Kingstown ( and shopping) the capital.

Day 3: Leaving after breakfast on your yacht, we arrive at the island of Bequia. An old whaling island Bequia, is a favorite among yachtsmen. Boats are still built by hand on the beaches there. Descending from Scots and French, the inhabitants of Admiralty Harbor are proud people. Diving is exceptional and can be arranged for you by the crew. A land tour is recommended to appreciate this tropical Nantucket.

Day 4: We’ll spend the next two days in and around Mayreau in the heart of the Grenadine Islands, Winward Islands. This small outpost of islets consists of powdery beaches and the bluest water you will ever see. Two days of watersports, beach parties, snorkeling, and exploring the wonders of this gem in the Caribbean. The calm Tobago anchorage sits behind a huge reef protecting it. The only thing between you and the coast of Africa is water.

Day 5: Leaving the splendor of the Grenadines will be tough on you, but the famous island of Grenada awaits us. Lush green mountains, waterfalls and golden beaches. Grenada, Winward Islands, is the "Isle of Spice" due to the abundance of spice trees, not its lively history. Grenada, Winward Islands ,is now a full democracy and has embraced tourism fully. Today and tomorrow will only give you a taste of this island's treasures ensuring your return. A Crater Lake, waterfall after waterfall and the monkeys. Touring this island is a safari.

Day 6: Today is your day. Spend it anyway you like here in Grenada before you have to say goodbye and travel to the airport (American Airlines). Revisit, shop or swim and snorkel. Its up to you because by evening you’ll be back home relaxed and ready to attack the rat race again.
