Everything about your Caribbean sailing trip

If you dream of white beaches, turquoise waters and endless sunsets, a sailing trip through the Grenadines is the ultimate journey. Here you can find out what makes this trip special and what experiences await you along the way.

Caribbean sailing trip: island hopping in paradise

A sailing holiday from Martinique to the Grenadines is the epitome of a dream trip. We start in Le Marin, one of the largest marinas in the Caribbean, and sail south. The area offers constant trade winds, which makes sailing a pleasure, but can also be more sporty between the islands (Atlantic wave). We usually sail for 10 days in order to have enough time to visit the many islands. During the day, we anchor off dream beaches, snorkel in the warm water or explore small island villages. We almost always spend the night in bays under a breathtaking starry sky.

The most beautiful highlights of the Grenadines

Each island has its own charm. St. Lucia impresses with its lush rainforest and the steep Pitons. St. Vincent attracts visitors with its pirate past in Wallilabou Bay. But the heart of the island are the Grenadines: small island gems such as Mayreau, Union Island or the exclusive island of Mustique, where celebrities flock. The highlight for many is the Tobago Cays: here you can swim with turtles and rays in the wild and enjoy an evening BBQ on the beach with your feet in the sand. The water is so clear and turquoise that it's hard to believe.
