All you need to know about these amazing islands in the Caribbean Sea
Martinique
Martinique is one of the shining jewels of the Lesser Antilles. Christopher Columbus sighted the island on his first voyage in 1493 – it officially became part of France in 1815.
You will find excellent cuisine, chic sophistication on its fine resorts and hotels, rich heritage and culture, art galleries, theatres, and museums. Yet, an enticing West Indian warmth and friendliness, a unique spice in its music, dance, local food and cultural roots, combine with everything French to create a unique way of life.
St Vincent
From the 32 islands of the Lesser Antilles, only nine are inhabited. St. Vincent, the largest, serves as your gateway to the Grenadines—including Mustique, Bequia and Union. Our base is conveniently located at the Blue Lagoon Marina on St. Vincent’s southern shore.
Many of the island’s oldest forts appeared in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. St. Vincent is also home to the hemisphere’s oldest botanical gardens, which comprises 20 acres of lush tropical plants, trees, flowers and exotic birds. With its fascinating history, rich culture and West Indian cuisine, St. Vincent offers something for everyone.
The Grenadines
Τhe Grenadines, with their stunning turquoise waters, is a string of verdant islands and islets dotted with sandy beaches and palm trees swaying gently in the ever-present trade winds. Learn about the old whaling culture in Bequia, experience the trendy atmosphere of Mustique (known as a playground for royalty and the rich), or head for the unspoiled, remote Tobago Cays Marine Park to snorkel colourful reefs teeming with tropical fish of all sizes.
They offer, as well, flawless beaches – white sand on the south coast and black sand on the north coast. There are secluded coves perfect for swimming and snorkelling, reefs, unspoiled fishing villages, hot springs, lush rainforests, rugged peaks and exotic flowers and fruit everywhere.
Cabin Charters
Tranquil turquoise waters lap softly against the hull of your yacht while giant swaths of tropical fish dart just below the surface.
Set sail on a Grenadines cabin charter from our partners’ base at Le Marin, just a short ride from the airport. The marina is set at the end of a beautiful lagoon and includes all the facilities any sailor could need: well-stocked chandleries, a supermarket and restaurants. Le Marin is one of the largest in the Caribbean that caters specifically to pleasure boats and is a day sail from the Grenadines.
You will be pampered by our partners’ crews and discover the unspoilt beauties of these fantastic islands. The itineraries include carefully selected cruises to show you the most excellent locations and give you a beautiful round trip of the regions.
Onboard you have your own private double cabin with an en-suite bathroom. Your cook will prepare for you exquisite recipes with fresh local products, especially tropical fruits, vegetables and fish.

Do you do shorter trips in this area please?
Hi Debbie, Yes we have short trips, but do remember that you don’t always leave on the first day, and you have to have the boat back thte night before. Eventually, if you shorten too much, you don’t really get anywhere unfortunately. Yachts sail on average, at a leisurely 5 – 7mph. It’s a great way to explore any area, yet you will have to allow time to get form place to place and home again.
