The Glorious Grenadines

Cruise overview

This roundtrip journey from Bridgetown offers an immersive passage through the Grenadines, beginning with a quieter look at Barbados itself before the yacht traces a path through some of the southern Caribbean’s most unspoiled waters. Speightstown offers a gentler introduction to the island’s northern reaches, where chattel houses, a historic fishing pier, and a relaxed pace of life feel a world away from the capital. In Soufriere Bay, St. Lucia’s volcanic drama comes into full view, the twin Pitons rising sharply from the water’s edge while the surrounding hillsides tumble down in deep tropical green. Kingstown follows with St. Vincent’s compact, colorful capital, where the Saturday market spills through the streets and the botanical gardens, among the oldest in the western hemisphere, reward a morning’s exploration. Mount Wynne Beach offers a more secluded St. Vincent experience, a quiet black-sand shore framed by forested hills and accessible only by sea. Spend two days in Bequia, where Port Elizabeth’s crescent harbor, handcrafted wooden boats, and the gentle rhythm of island life make it the Grenadines’ most beloved anchorage. The Tobago Cays unfold next across a protected marine park, where crystalline water and thriving coral gardens make for some of the Caribbean’s finest snorkeling, before Mayreau, one of the smallest inhabited islands in the Grenadines, provides a last moment of stillness before the return to Bridgetown.
