Sample itinerary
St Vincent to the southern Grenadines, seven nights
A classic southbound route from St Vincent through the Grenadines, with easy passages between islands, protected anchorages and some of the clearest water in the Caribbean.
- Day1
St Vincent to Bequia
Board at Blue Lagoon on St Vincent and sail south to Bequia. Anchor in Admiralty Bay, walk the waterfront of Port Elizabeth and swim at Princess Margaret Beach.
Swim · Harbour town · Sunset - Day2
Bequia to Mustique
Mustique is the private island of the Grenadines: quiet beaches, villas and the famous Basil's Bar in Britannia Bay. Snorkel at Macaroni Beach's neighbouring reefs or explore by mule.
Beaches · Snorkel · Dine ashore - Day3
Mustique to Canouan
Sail to Canouan, with its long reef-protected beaches on the windward side and calm anchorages to the west.
Swim · Beach · Water toys - Day4
Tobago Cays Marine Park
The highlight of the week: five uninhabited cays inside Horseshoe Reef. Swim with green turtles off Baradal, snorkel the reef and enjoy a beach barbecue arranged by local boat vendors.

A crescent of white sand on tiny Mayreau. Walk up to the hilltop church for one of the best views in the Grenadines, back over the Tobago Cays.

Union Island & Happy Island
Kitesurfers love Clifton's lagoon. Have a sundowner at Happy Island, a tiny bar built on a reef from conch shells.
